Yes, only three boxes lol. Like I said, my dad is going to be sending me home with at least two. And when I get back, I`ll most certainly be getting more. I want to have at least 5 or 6 boxes at all times so I can have at least three, maybe four to go to the range with. I have two P2P`s. I`m getting my first next Friday, and I`m already thinking about what I should use my second one on.

I`ll be going to Howell Gun Works after I get out of work next Friday. So $549 for the G 19 + .07% + $15 for NICS = $604. That`s not too bad. That`s assuming that they will charge .07% on the NICS as well.

So far, the only things I got for it is the Truglo night sights and a tac light. And I received my ranger bag from Amazon today, holds my ammo real well. And even when I rented a few guns, I noticed that the ammo disappeared very quickly lol. I do have three boxes of American Eagle rounds and my father is going to send me home from Illinois with a few boxes as well, so I think I`m well off lol. Believe you me, I read, re-read, and read them again. I don`t need nor want to give a cop a reason to give me a summons for "improper transport of a firearm".

I know this may sound like e newbie question but, are there any surprises that I should be aware of when I go next Friday to purchase my Glock? For example, since we live in New Jermeny, is there an outrageous tax on the gun I should be wary of? I just want to go in and be prepared for anything that may come up.

I was thinking it was more of the gun as well. I asked my dad about the ammo I was using, and he said that it was pretty good.

Went today with a buddy of mine. Apparently you are not allowed to bring your own ammo if your renting one of their guns...that was new news to me. Between getting a lane, 50 rounds, targets, and a rental, I went for $80. I guess it`s not terrible. The one thing I have to say is that they should really clean their guns a bit more often. I rented a Glock 19 and I had a few issues, maybe the dirty gun or the ammo. But I had one fail to fire, two stove pipes, two or three fail to eject, and one round that was struck but didn`t go off. (could have been the ammunition they gave me (Fiocchi 115 Grain), but wasn`t sure since the build up of carbon in the gun). Small edit: Didn`t realize I spelt the name of the ammo wrong, my bad.

There is an error in my entry on the form. It says I applied on August 24th of this year, it`s supposed to say April 24th. I must have selected August by mistake. But with Aberdeen, it took 40 days from submission of forms to receiving on FID and 2 p2p`s. Applied April 24th, received June 3rd. P2p`s and FID were dated for June 2nd.

Oh the joy of living in this wonderful state

Cool, eases my worries a bit. Probably not on the way there, but on the way back, maybe a box or two.

So, I will be flying from Newark to Bloomington, Illinois. Will I have an issue if I follow all the airline guidelines for my packing my firearm?

I`ll add one for Aberdeen since I don`t see one Initial FID submitted April 14th Fingerprinted April 23rd References sent back letters around April 28th Received initial FID and 2 p2p`s on 6/3 Total wait time ~40 days The Aberdeen police department was both helpful and courteous. The detective I dealt with, I believe detective Louse, and the receptionist Dolores were both very considerate.

So I called Aberdeen about an hour ago, and asked about my FID and my two p2p`s. The receptionist than put me on hold for a few minutes. She than came on to the phone and said that everything was good and that I could pick them up. She than went ahead and told me that she had sent out a postcard yesterday with about 4 or 5 others, but told me to disregard it. I went and got my license and two permission slips. Also, the permission slips were dated for yesterday 6/2. And I did ask the detective about the release, and he said pretty much what hbecwithfn7 posted. So all in all about 40 days. Can not really complain.

Since I`ll be an out-of-state resident with an FID and legal firearm, I shouldn't`t have an issue. Unless of course my father and I are missing some tid bit of information. And my father does have his FOID and CCW license as well.

That was my plan, be polite and not get upset. I am just hoping to get it before the end of the month so I can get my gun and bring it with me when I go visit my father in Illinois is July.

Ok, I`m glad someone was able to give an answer to that.

I don`t know, I posted about it back a few weeks ago, and I was given possible options from other members. If/when I go pick it up, I`ll certainly ask and get an explanation.

On April 24th, all parts of my FID applications was submitted to my PD ( Aberdeen), and my references sent their letters back to Aberdeen with no problems. I received a call on May 2nd saying that I needed to sign a release so that my employer can release my info, still unsure why. After I signed the release, I was told by the receptionist that I 'should' be receiving my initial FID and 2 p2p`s withon a two week period. Today marks the start of the fourth week of me signing the release form. I don`t plan on taking any action today, but would it be a good idea to call tomorrow? I know this state doesn`t like to give out FID`s in a timely fashion but, it does bother me.

...Now we have to hope that CC does the right thing...

I say, the courts hear them but don`t listen. I`m still trying to figure out their logic behind it...wait, I just used a word most anti 2A groups don`t know...

I agree. Gives me all the more reason to get my first gun from them.

Probably something they do so they can make it difficult, or at least more of a nuisance to get it. Aberdeen, where I applied for mine, didn't need to have it done. References just sent the letter back in the provided preaddressed and pre stamped envelope..

Ok ok, I get it I admit it's a retarded question, I was not at all thinking. ..wish I could delete this thread. And enough flaming please, I get it...

I was wondering if anyone has/had/does carry even though it's illegal. And I don't mean if your job allows/requires it, I mean in everyday life.

Well, like everyone is saying, if he has any aspirations of running in 2016, he better plan on a veto...

Chalk up one more win for the criminals....God, do I wish I had the funds to move out of New Jermany... Any word on when that may occur?
