Makes for an EZ answer.... Ruger GP100 38/357

I’m a plus one for the Work Sharp knife and tool sharpening system. Mine is the standard system, I guess it’s a step down from the Ken Onion. I’ve spent many hours on stones, diamonds, rods, and yes, to a point, those methods can/might be considered therapeutic. But I have yet to see anything produce the excellent edge in a short amount of time like the Work Sharp. I don’t have any (nor interested in) $800 knives, nor do I use cheap-o knifes. Mid range Kershaw, Spyderco, SOG, Gerber, and Benchmade. I also use it with my Chicago cutlery kitchen knives.

I was shooting on the 25 last Thursday morning. Had the “mosquito” conversation with another shooter, was that you?

After reading so many references to the new FARS application and registration system, I stopped by my local PD to check it out. I believe it’s worth mentioning that not all PD’s are currently using the new system. So, before paying any fee’s or signing on to FARS you should check which system your PD is using. Sorry if this info is redundant to another post, again thought it was worth noting as all fees are non-refundable Firearms Application & Registration System (FARS) The State of New Jersey is now accepting firearms applications for Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards and Pistol Purchase Permits electronically. The following Web site will allow an applicant to apply for Initial and Duplicate Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards and Permits to Purchase a Handgun: https://njportal.com/NJSP/FARS If you reside in a New Jersey State Police covered area and are certain which NJSP Station you are applying through, utilize the following ORI #’s to apply. If you are not certain, contact the NJSP station to obtain the proper ORI before applying. All fees are non-refundable.

Haven’t read anyone mention the potential for the fee increases to drive some folks to illegal gun purchases? Under the current system they can track background checks and firearms ownership (FIDs and P2Ps provide that). It seems to me that increasing the price of legal transactions, will lead to an increase in illegal transactions - no background checks, no notification to police (works fine for criminals). Already, folks chance crossing state lines for ciggarettes, fireworks, avoid sales tax, etc., what’s to say you want to buy a firearm from a relative or a friend at a range....the transfer is going to cost more because the FFL has to charge more to pay his fees, the P2P is now 2500% higher than previous....economically there’s good motivation there to take a chance of not getting caught.... Seems to me, this Governor is even dumber than given credit for....

Welcome! Just a little further south, Gloucester County. Add to the list of ranges to checkout....Quinton Sportsmen (Rifle, Pistol, shotgun, archery), SJSC is nice but not much there for the shotgunner.

That 19-3 snubbie (I believe is more rare and desireable than similar models), the fact that it looks like you may have the original box is also worth mentioning (brings up the value if you sell it to a collector). All looks like good stuff that I can almost guarantee you, that if you ever get into collecting firearms with character, you will be sorry you let them go.

Another thing you might look at, check out “Skinny Medic” on YouTube. He’s a gun guy and a paramedic, puts up some good videos as far as first aid gear, kits, and instructional videos.

Just a quick clarification to Golf Battery’s post, there is no wait list, but you do have to attend SJSC’s orientation class to join (usually scheduled for a couple hours on a Sunday afternoon). Check the clubs website for dates and times, I believe they run the orientation class once a month. The good thing, you get your range ID card on the day of class and you can walk out and shoot that day. Side note, If you want to try out some (let’s not call it “competitive” shooting, we’ll call it “shooting sports”). another club, Quinton Sportsmen’s Club runs great events. Again, check their website for Steel Challenge, USPSA, IDPA, and 3-Gun. New shooters are usually welcome and encouraged (this is most likely true with the shooting sports at any venue). All you need to know and understand to start is that they are very serious about safety, after that be comfortable with handling your firearm, let them know you are a new guy, take your time, follow directions...no matter where you are today, you’ll be better tomorrow- that and you’ll have a lot of fun and meet some great people.

Quick story.... Back in the 80’s when I was working 60 hours a week and raising two kids. I had an M1 Carbine that my father-in-law-law, a WWII Navy Chief Warrant Officer bought home from the war. Having no interest in firearms at the time, I gave the M1 Carbine to a distant family member, who gave it to one of his in laws. Long story-short, the final recipient passed away, the carbine was sold off to a stranger as part of his estate. Today, 25 or so years later, I find myself retired, and very much into shooting sports (and entry level collecting of classic firearms). Needless to say, I kick myself in the ass almost daily of letting go of that bring home M1 Carbine....

That’s a Garand photo right there...

My toy...

Went this morning and can confirm what Golf battery has already pointed out - lots of water! All of the ranges are usable. I would recommend some kind of water repellant footwear, and you may need to follow a trail along the side of whichever range you plan to use to set and retrieve targets.

Practice reloads.....

Is that 3 T’s? Target trigger, target hammer and target grip?

....add to the confusion..... Bird on a Wire

$35 is correct (as of today). Good guy, stop in and talk to him. His shop is fairly new, but he’s the kind of guy you want to see to become successful (good gun guy, fair, not out to make a killing).

So, there are federal laws about possession of marijuana, Gov. Murphy doesn’t like them so he chooses to ignor them... ....there are federal laws around illeagal immigration and sanctuary cities, Gov. Murphy doesn’t like those laws, so he chooses to ignor them... ...citizens have a right under the constitution of the United States to “keep and bear arms”..., Gov. Murphy doesn’t like that so he chooses to ignor that.... ....I’m not a smart man, but.....

Duces Den 437 Woodbury-Glassboro Rd Sewell, NJ 08080 1-609-706-0972 (across from the old Sony Records) You can Thank me later...,

Experienced the issue with last weeks episode.....just went to your website and listened from there... Awesome job on this weeks. I think all of your episodes make for good listening and a better informed gun owner, but this weeks was especially good!

GREAT episode.... Nice job with Scott Bach providing some detail and strategies of the NRA and ANJRPC with dealing with the current leagal issues between law abiding gun owners and the state. ....of course Ant and Sandy provide plenty of info and color to Scott’s info. Everyone would benefit by giving this a listen....

What do dentist use to put caps on teeth? ‘I’ve had a couple of caps, seems my dentist can fix the cap on securely, but weeks and sometimes years later she uses a gun like tool to soften it up enough to make it easy to pry off.

SEX life! You’ll get your wind and endurance back.... Now that you won’t stink of cigarettes, you mlight need that wind and endurance.

Welcome from still another Gloucester County resident. Member SJSC and Quinton, and you are right, can’t do much with a shotgun at SJSC but a lot to do at Quinton. Just a thought, wonder if it’s possible for SJSC to convert all that old archery course to something for shotgunners ... maybe a short clays course or something like that...

Quit cold turkey in 86, best decision in my life. No long story from me, just go back and read InFamous and Fatty’s posts, they hit the nail on the head. Good luck, don’t expect it to be easy, it’s the toughest battle you’re likely to ever have - your opponent being yourself.... I’d like to tell you the urge to smoke goes away in a few weeks - not true, could take at least a year. About 30 days into quitting smoking, you’ll be coughing up grey slugs of goop, that’s your lungs clearing up - it’s a good thing. Good luck (luck won’t help, this is real work). Keep us posted, come back and tell us how your making out. Be honest, again your opponent is yourself.
