I know this is an old thread but Illinois is 15 rounds as well.

^^^^thanks!

Wanted to sent a special thank you to Brad. On Sunday had my 12 year old nephew visiting for the day, he was very excited to come visit so I could take him shooting for a little bit. I had a limited amount of time to bring him to the range for some fun. As always Sunday afternoons are busy, and the wait time for a port was 45-60 min. We just didn't have that kind of time (poor planning on my part, I know better should have gotten him there early for members only window from 8-10 unfortunately didn't work out that way this day). On my way out I bumped into Brad to say hello, told him we came to shoot for an hour but I couldn't wait that long for a port because I had to have him home by a certain time. Immediately he stopped what he was doing and went to the check in counter, got me into range 2 right away. The kid was thrilled and I'm very thankful for what he did for me. Always a great experience as usual, Thanks Brad! & thanks RTSP staff you guy and gals are great. Steve...

The gun range I happen to be traveling to, is in Florida. That's the story every time I fly out of Newark. Although I've never been asked yet. I always bring a pamphlet from a Florida range with me in case this question comes up, to back up my story.

Fopa has nothing to do with NJ residents within the state it doesn't apply. FOPA protects out of state travelers passing through the state.

Your end destination is a place in which possession is an exemption. There's no deviation being made from home to the exempt location, where does it say in the law you "must transport within a car"? I didn't see the part in the statutes that said an airplane is not a legal means of transportation while traveling between exempt locations. Please show this to me in the transport law. Thanks. I would have to say it's perfectly acceptable to go to an airport for any means of air travel until a Boeing 737 can pick me up at my front door instead of having to pick me up at an airport... The airport is still part of my direct path between exempt locations, no deviation reasonable or not reasonable have been made, where has a law been broken in this scenario?

I'll go to any show anytime, you definitely don't have to twist my arm for that. You: "Hey SteveO you want to pick my ass up and take me to a gunshow?" Me: "yes! Get your shoes on, I live ten minutes away see you in 5!"

From now on I'm only hunting with my JIC, gonna have to get a bayonet for it too hahaha. I'll show those Pheasants on the ground who the boss is...

Some shows are better than others, some days there are deals and sometimes you Don't find anything but a great container of pickles from the guy in the back corner lol... But you don't know unless you go. I've scored many times in the past, also walked out with nothing more than a container of garlic dill pickle chips too. It beats sitting on the couch watching TV on a Saturday, mowing the lawn, putting up or taking down Christmas lights, shoveling snow, or installing those closet shelves your wife has been on your ass about for the past month...

One time in the past 26 years that I've been a licensed hunter have I seen a CO at the range checking everyone out. That was at Flatbrook WMA about a decade ago. It's rare but it does happen from time to time. It actually happened fairly recently at one of our Shotgun Shootouts at Clinton WMA this past year apparently. But I was not there at that meet up.

Print out the coupon for the admission discount, eagle arms website I believe. But that's only if it's an Eagle arms show. Not sure about this one. http://www.eaglearmsgunshows.com/coupon.html http://www.gunshows-usa.com/penn.shtml

Cool then you're all set, just go online and renew/print your new license anytime. www.njfishandwildlife.com.

You can go with someone that has a license. Or you can get yourself one, the test is free and takes half of one weekend morning out of your life. The license is annual at $28. That's pretty cheap to use the archery, rifle, and clay ranges I would say. Plus if you ever decide to take up hunting your good to go.

I believe your being a little optimistic about what the conservation officers would do. They will write a ticket to anyone, very rare for them to give a warning. I've personally received a summons on two different occasions from fish and wildlife officers. They don't play games, all business. The likelihood of seeing one at a range is slim, but they do show up on ocasion. Not worth taking the chance to me. If you read the top of page 75 in the digest it says: "At least one member of the shooting party MUST have a CURRENT, VALID new jersey hunting license in possession." Although the digest is not the full law, it is a good guideline of the game code. & this passage above is very clearly written. Your call, but I'm going with a valid current license. Two game violations within 5 years equates to a 5 year loss of hunting and fishing privileges. Ask me how I know this....

If you we're closer I would be there with my thaw machine for you! It's been getting quite a workout this week.

I really like the guys here as well. (Jim I think? And the older retired cop is Steve? I believe) Took my Utah class here last year with Charlie from GFH, close to home. Small shop but great guys to spend money with. Pretty decent hand gun selection on hand, they keep a good mix of wheel and semi auto's in stock.

Have one of these on order, which reminds me I need to go pay for this! Completely forgot until this thread jogged my memory. Been working all day and night this past week with the cold spell. If I don't see another frozen pipe or gelled oil tank until next winter it will be too soon. *** Update*** Paid in full waiting on permits, I'm excited!

His wife answered the phone last time I called him. Didn't want to just show up at his house. She told me he wasn't taking on any new work. I'm sure if I had gotten him on the phone he would take a gun from me for whatever. My grandfather and father had been his customers for decades, I met him as a kid going there with grandpa, he cut down the stock on my first 12g for me. Love his work. He would always bust my balls for liking all the tacticool guns lol, (typical old man stuff).

I only live 28 miles from E Stroudsburg. I'm over there often almost every weekend to shop with the wifey. I've got family in Central PA we visit probably once a month. I do a lot of fishing there during the spring trout season as well, bunch of my buddies moved right over the bridge in Marshalls creek. We hang out a lot to kill some fish. I'll probably apply for the sportsman carry this year as well. Would just be nice to have the option to carry consealed over there again. I eventually plan on moving to Mt. Bethal within the next two years anyway. Been looking at buildable lots there lately. But if I'm going to visit my brother in Texas, I may as well take the class while I'm there.

Haha! Why didn't I think of that????

I'm getting one of those and putting it on a 20" barrel just to be rediculious lol... anyone know where I can get a 5' long gun case? It will be the rifle version of this

Definitely mini 14 magazine, action, and front site convinced me. Never saw that stock before, now I need one of those too!

Awesome thanks! Let you know soon as I've got a date set. Got to wait until heating season wind's down. I figure sometime late March early April.

Les Kraft retired, he only buys and sells guns now. I miss him he was my go to guy for years. And he was an old man when I met him 20 years ago. Bring it to Mastodon in Highland Lakes. http://www.mastodonammo.com

Women.... Mehhh...
