Can people PM me with stores that require an FID to handle a gun, citing state law? If you have the name of the owner, it would be even better. I spoke with the BATFE and NJSP to confirm that there's no such law, and I'm working with Frank to get letters out to those FFLs to 1) educate them and 2)encourage them to stop the practice. Edited to remove store names. In no way do I want to be seen as bashing them. Edited again: To clarify, this project is my idea and I am doing all of the work without the use of NJ2AS resources, other than advice and guidance. In any event, this definitely takes a back seat to dealing with the new slew of anti-gun legislation.

I suspect this varies by PD, but I put in for new set of permits two months afterwards, and I was told my references wouldn't be contacted, especially if they were the same references. He didn't say how long it would have to be, however, for them to decide that they might want to contact them.

I encountered a similar situation on my initial FID application. I told the detective that I needed to change one of my references, and he just had me resubmit a new application that listed the new reference. My PD gives the applicant the letter for the references to fill out so there wasn't a need to wait for a new letter to be mailed out. I don't know to what extent this delayed me, as I did the change relatively early in the process. They seemed accustomed to people changing references and the detective even warned me that it isn't uncommon for people to agree to be a reference, only to back out the last minute. Hopefully your PD will be as understanding.

1. Another vote here for a private lesson. After working with me, Jimmy had me inside of those circles at 12 yards. 2. I would stick with your gun while you're "relearning" and check if they'd hold your gun for you (it'd probably help if you're a member). FYI, their P229 also has the e2 grip. 3. While there are probably 52 million videos on youtube on trigger control, I found the following one to be particularly helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLVjBq28A84

Interesting, because I recently ordered 5.56mm from PSA and no FID was required. Perhaps they required it from you because your order included handgun caliber ammo?

I've had a similar experiences with foam plugs in the cold and some not keeping their shape. But the following worked great for me so far in the cold. I've used them in the 30s, and they were really good at keeping their shape (haven't tried them at temps lower than that yet). http://www.moldex.com/hearing-protection/foam-earplugs/sparkplugs.php

Just received a set of these starter punches from eBay but haven't gotten around to using them yet. The ends are hollow to fit a roll-pin inside. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARMORERS-223-SMALL-LARGE-DRIVE-ROLL-PIN-STARTER-PUNCH-SET-4-15-NON-S-C-A-R-/151122965911?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item232fa17597

I'm not sure how similar wait times are for initial FID versus change of address, but they were running 4 months for initial FID when I applied in late July. A big bottleneck was the Passaic County mental health check, but my understanding is that the County Adjuster's office staffed up in October with an individual dedicated to those checks. As that person works through the backlog, my guess is that it would drop back to 3 months or so, but that's just a guess on my part. Common sense would dictate that they wouldn't even bother with a Passaic County check for you since you're a new resident, but I don't know their process. FWIW, when I confirmed that Clifton PD had all my paperwork, it was about a 2 month wait from there. When I put in for new permits in early December, I was quoted "2+" months.

Drinking Angel's Envy bourbon. I really need it after having some wacko conspiracy theorist talking my ear off tonight, among other things, about how the Philippine typhoons were a man-made phenomenon created by the US military to re-establish a presence in Asia, and how Paul Walker was assassinated because he knew too much.

I bought it on impulse (at a much higher price), and I'm thinking that rimfire isn't for me. I fired a few shots at the range, initially got confused as to what sight picture I should be using, but then started to get bored. I struggled to stay awake long enough to empty out the magazine, and it's been collecting dust ever since.

If I had known what was in store, I would have brought a lot more ammo/magazines!

Anyone know if this event is still on? I e-mailed Dennis yesterday but haven't heard from him.

Terrapin Hopsecutioner First time trying it and I'm disappointed. Not bad, but not as hoppy as the name would seem to imply. 7.3% ABV, but has no heat at all and really sneaks up on you.

People always say build so you get the rifle you want. But I think if he knew exactly what he wanted, he wouldn't be asking what to buy in the first place.

I'm lazy to look up the link, my understanding from the Aiken case is that a judge ruled that any ammo that expands "more than usual" is legally hollow point, regardless of whether the point is actually hollow. IANAL, but my understanding is that judges love to follow precedent, so is this a "precedent" that judges would follow? Or is this something that judges would be able to exercise their own discretion? (or is this the kind of thing you'd have to go to trial to find out?). I wonder if instead of asking NJSP, we should be asking our local prosecutors, since they're the ones that will be deciding on what charges to bring or not.

I was reading the following article http://www.northjersey.com/news/Paterson_cops_use_street_camera_to_catch_shooting_suspect.html Is armor piercing ammo typically made in .380 caliber? I'm wondering if he had "genuine" armor piercing ammo, or if he had something widely available, but the police decided to arbitrarily consider armor piercing?

I hope similar events can be organized in northern NJ. I know a lot of my neighbors have home security concerns.

You sure go a long way for shooting! welcome from Clifton.

I used to have a Clifford car alarm with an anti-car jacking feature. If a car door is opened while the engine is running, you'd have to enter a button sequence into a keypad or your remote. Otherwise the engine would stop after about 5 minutes.

I've never hunted, though I'd like to try it out one of these days. I'd probably feel bad shooting a deer (not saying that I don't think venison tastes great!), but I'd have no problem shooting geese. I hate those f-ers, leaving their crap in sidewalks, parks, and golf courses everywhere.

I might be mistaken, but I'm almost certain that I didn't have to return anything from Morphotrak to my PD. I wonder if this varies by locale.

I've seen these "socially responsible" components to municipal request for proposals before. The vendors will come up with elegant flowery prose to answer the questions, and the contracts will still come down to who's the best connected has the best perceived value for the price.

Signed. Glad to hear that Passaic County has so little crime that police and prosecutors have time to go after people with BB guns...
