My FIRST 1911. It was too pretty to leave in the store!

Last two only took minutes. The first one was before they went back to call in. Walt at Hackettestown had my long gun NICS check done in about 3 minutes.

Thanks for all the replies. Now, back to the range.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Checko, where do you go to shoot. My friend who got me started again is in Hillsborough. She's a member at Brick Armory and I'm a member at Heritage Guild. I usually go Friday afternoons (summer hours) with a few folks from work. Going back tomorrow with my nephew and his boys (aged 12 & 15). Met them there last Sunday and the boys had such a good time learning that they wanted to sleep over tonight so I could take them again. Range rules dictate a parent must accompany minor children so my nephew must tag along (not that he minds one bit) ;-)

Sold out and no back orders

I've been lurking here for a while and thought it was time to say hello. I used to shoot 22's and shotguns as a pre-teen (60's) through high school. Just got back into the sport again last year. I started up again joining a friend at the range. I finally applied for my FID at the end of January and got at the end of May. NICS only took a couple of weeks till I was able to bring home a slightly used Sig P229 Elite with Hogue grips. 32 days later I picked up a Smith and Wesson 1911E TA which is my favorite. 2 weeks ago I picked up a Ruger 10/22 after finally finding ammo for it (I now have a few thousand rounds). I've been renting various other pistols trying to decide what to get next. P2P are in process, but will probably take another month if not longer. Love all the great info on this site so thank you to all the regulars.

Normally I transport my pistols in a locked case separate from the unlocked ammo case, both in the locked trunk of my car. If I put the pistols in an unlocked range bag for transport am I violating the law? I normally drive to the range in PA. If I stop to pick up a buddy and we take his SUV, would putting both gun and ammo containers in the rear change anything? Thanks for all replies.

I've been hearing that rumor for a while. I know someone who was talking about opening one in Hillsborough, but know that wont happen. Be great if it does. If I'm the Pierball winner tmw night I promise to open one around here. ;-)

Great news. Please thank him for his service on behalf of myself and a grateful nation.

I'm meeting my nephew and his 2 boys around 10 at Heritage on Sunday. I may head over there when we're done. I'll be I the Camry with NJ Giants plate ;-)

Never too much. I surprised myself when I rearranged my ammo box and closet as to how much I actually have. I didn't buy the Ruger 10/22 at my lgs cuz no one had 22LR HV ammo. When I finally found some both rifles were gone. Now I have the rifle and enough ammo for it to last till prices get reasonable again. Heritage Guild in Easton sells ammo at less than internet prices for use at the range but limits you to 100 rounds per person. I bring a few friends along and stock up with whatever is left over. :-)

Heritage Guild in Branchburg laminates them for free

Sincere condolences. So sorry for your loss.

The process easily bogs down on the mental health check as they must check with the county of every place of residence you listed. My township also checks with local PD of every town listed as a previous address to see if "you are known" meaning any issue that didn't rise to an arrest. In my case the detective did his work, but the chief wanted more. That took an extra month as the detective was on vacation when the chief finally got around to looking at my application. It took just over four months while a colleague at work got his FID in under 30 days from a different township. Guess I should still be thankful that it didn't take longer.

Wow, I thought my four month wait in Montgomery was excessive. A colleague at work got his FID from Flemington in about a month....
