FWIW, count me as another approved for buying on day 30 (with day 1 being the day after a previous purchase).

I was going through a similar search a few months back, and the only place I could track down that had it was Target Master in Chadds Ford, PA (which isn't close at all, given it's a 2+ hour drive from Northern NJ). And if you happen to be in the area, they won't rent to singles that don't already have handgun with them. I don't know if they'd accept a NJ FID in lieu of that.

It's been at least a few weeks since I last saw this asked, so I'm going to bring it up again While there are many ambiguitiesin NJ firearms laws, this doesn't appear to me to be one of them: So to me this clearly states that if I buy a handgun on day zero and starting counting on the following day, I would be eligible to buy a handgun on day 30. Doing a search, everyone advises buying on day 31. I called the NJSP firearms unit. I was told the law permits buying on day 30, but it was her "personal recommendation" to wait for 31. I just wonder if this is one of those gun store "NJSP requires us to see an FID before allowing you to handle a firearm" things. So my question is: 1. What was your personal experience buying on day 30? Approved or denied? No offense, I'm not interested in what happened to your buddy or what happened to your friend's brother's former roomate, just your personal experience where you have first hand knowledge of when your permit was dated, when NICS was run, and know you were careful about the day count. 2. And if you were denied, 1) were you told why?, 2) does it affect the way you have to fill out any future NICS requests?

If you're paying by credit card, nearly every seller on gunbroker will charge an extra 3% credit card fee.

Happy to help. The only other thing I'd add is that I noticed a tendency for shotguns to be described in terms of total capacity instead of magazine capacity. So a 4+1 Mossberg 930 will usually be described as having a "5 round capacity". This is a contrast to handguns which are generally described in terms of magazine capacity.

I came so close to getting a Mossberg 930. I practically fell in love after handling Krdsrk's JM Pro during the last Clinton meet up. The two things to check are: 1) pistol grip and 2) magazine capacity 1. Pistol grip - if the gun has a pistol grip, illegal in NJ 2. Magazine capacity - the maximum permitted magazine capacity in NJ is 6 +1 capacity (6 in the magazine, 1 in the chamber). The "base" Mossberg 930 is 4+1, which is fine. There are alternative configurations with 7+1, which are not permitted in NJ. In case you happened to be looking at a JM Pro like Krdshrk's, that comes in 8+1 or 9+1 configurations. While not permitted in NJ, they can be neutered to be NJ compliant.

I should be there as well. Got a shorter Hogue stock to go with a Maverick 88 and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

They told me they had "plenty", both with 18" and 28" barrels. I'm surprised because the Paramus store told me they were sold out Monday night.

Woohoo, just got back from the Dick's in Union and picked up one there

Congrats on the pickup. I had hoped to pick one up as well, but my local store (Paramus) was sold out by the time I could there on Monday night

If you're in the market for a Sig Sauer, Osage County Guns will be marking down items periodically today through tomorrow. They already started with a P229 (9mm) with night sights and short reset trigger for $729, and 3 extra mags for $99. Shipping is a bit steep at $40, but no extra credit card fee. http://www.osagecountyguns.com/on-sale.html/

It was actually for the weekend of the 16th-17th. I'd love to hear feedback as well. I had planned to go, but something came up at the last minute.

I was watching some videos, and I see some drawing from a holster, while others they're starting with their gun on a table. Any idea what tomorrow's match will be? Because if the former, I'll need to pick up a proper holster belt. I've also been having extraction issues with my XD9 lately, hope they don't pop up tomorrow.

Very useful info! 6. http://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com NJ-Friendly (with caveat) If you place an order for a handgun with non-compliant magazines, a customer service person will notify you via e-mail, and give you the option of having the magazines removed or canceling the order. Simply explain that the order will be going to an FFL that will be modifying the magazines and provide them with FFL contact info. They will contact the FFL (right then and there), and upon verification, release the order. (Source: Placed order October 2013)

I'm thinking of attending this as my first competition style event. Would this be good for a beginner? I'm assuming from the event name that I'll be knocking down steel targets (looks like my college education is paying off!). Does this involve a lot of running around? Or are you basically standing in place? I've done a little bit of shooting from a holster, though I'm not going to set any speed records. I'll admit I'm a bit nervous at the idea of running around with a gun in my hand.

Just in keep in mind that the FFL might not have any say in the matter. I know of a shoe repair place in NYC that had made a name for itself working on high-end dress shoes $500-$1000+, and had garnered quite a following on a clothing forum I followed. People picking up their shoes would find the doors chained shut with a sign that that it had been closed down by tax authorities (don't recall if it was IRS or NY State). This happened at least a couple times, though my understanding is that it had eventually been sorted out. I'm not saying your or any other FFL is on the verge of closing its doors or not paying its taxes, but I can't help but cringe at the thought of people with several guns tied up at a single FFL due to permits and/or OGAM restrictions.

If a shop goes under while holding your guns, aren't you SOL? I can't imagine that it hasn't happened yet in NJ, hasn't it?

I bought an AR upper from a private individual last month, assuming that PayPal would have my back in case something went wrong, and funded the payment via credit card for good measure. But that's before I knew about Paypal being anti-gun. I think I my credit card company would still back me up, but my PayPal account could have gotten frozen in the process.

Here's a few questions I'll throw out there: 1. My house came prewired with a Brinks security system, though it isn't currently activated. I'd like to turn it back on just to get the audible alarm working, but without activating (and paying) for the monitoring aspect. Anyone have any experience with that? 2. Any suggestions on a reliable and reasonably priced motion detector remote alarm (if there's such a thing)? The way our house is set up, you can't hear the doorbell (much less someone kicking the door down) if you're in the bedroom. And a dog is out of the question since I'm allergic. 3. Any ideas on how to secure a garage door and still have the remote control work without having to get out and unlock the garage? A few years back, a thieves burglarized houses on our block by forcing the garage door open and gaining access into the house from there. I believe that our garage door had been tampered with as well, but they couldn't get it open for whatever reason.

OMG, that looks so cool! I'm definitely going to be trying that out! At least soon as I get some practice. And getting a shotgun would probably be helpful as well.

I'm probably the exception, but the idea of having a lower than doesn't match my upper bothers the hell out of me, LOL. I understand functionally it won't make a difference but I guess I'm just OCD that way.

No kidding! I figured going into this that I'd be happy with a generic pump-action shotgun, but I can't stop thinking about that 930! Not to mention clays seems so much more fun than shooting at paper targets in an indoor range.

As an FYI, here's the Savage 320 for $175 shipped. You'll have to pay a transfer fee on top of it, but it's slightly offset by not having to pay tax, and not having to fight off hordes of people on Thanksgiving Day. http://www.slickguns.com/product/savage-stevens-320-security-12-ga-185-barrel-5-rnds-19999-free-shipping My understanding on the Maverick 88 is that Mossberg 500 aftermarket stuff nearly all fits on the Maverick 88 (I don't own either as of yet, so I don't know this first hand). So if you want to do a bunch of stuff to the gun like change the stock, the Maverick 88 might give you the most options.

I had a great time as well. I appreciate the generous gun loans, and thanks to Drez for the instruction time!
