Theres a 31st day in August so i'd say September 30th you're in the clear.

That might be the case, but i wouldn't be surprised if there was... lmao

^Not sure if that is directed at me. I was being sarcastic. People are robbed and such quite often in East Brunswick. Jersey city mall has a police station and security at entrances and someone managed to get in with an axe and attack employees at the spencers gift shop over there because his girlfriend dumped him (she worked there, but wasnt there at the time IIRC). My S.O. had to go there and cover for them while the employees were getting therapy and crap.. still had a blood stain on the floor from where the manager took an axe to the head. Shit happens everywhere, but my point was even if we couldn't get rid of 'justifiable need', someone such as myself should certainly qualify even with the justifiable need crap in place. My situation isn't as bad as almeidas, but i manage a property and work in Newark, as well. Fortunately, its commercial but scum still roam the streets.

I Guess i'll buy her one for one of the holiday's or something, haha. If she has her FID, would she be able to store her firearms in the same safe as mine, legally? Also, we're not legally married. We got engaged like two years ago, but haven't gotten married so that we can each keep mooching off of our parents' health insurance policies until we're 26 or whatever. Not sure if that changes anything. Just easier to say wife, i despise the word 'fiance'.

Yeah the trigger sucks. You should just sell it to me. I think i have like 500$ in my piggy bank, ill give it to ya for the rifle?

She talked about getting it before, but it took her like two years to get her DL switched over... I'll have her apply when we have some time to kill one day. It's not too horrible of a process here in Woodbridge. She was around 12 years old, this was i believe 9 or 10 years ago. I doubt she is a prohibited person too, but you never know. She hasn't been on meds or anything -other than possibly for anxiety- in the last quite a few years. Thing is, if she has an FID i have to pay for firearms that will be hers. If she doesnt, i get to pay for firearms that are mine at the end of the day... LOL

I find it quite unlikely that there is a law on the books prohibiting they use someone elses firearm. She had her hunting license and use to go hunting and all, as well as compete in Archery.. A prohibited person is prohibited from owning a firearm/obtaining an FID, not necessarily from shooting someone elses firearms at a gun range. As far as i know, at least. I've never heard of someone who was on anti-depressants not being allowed to go to the range. That said, again im not certain and should have her apply just for Shits & Giggles; i'm curious what they might be able to dig up when it comes to that stuff as this was like 10+ years ago. I know she was one of those emo kids when she was younger, so.... To be clear, i realize that FELONS are not allowed to be in possession of a firearm (right?) but i dont think thats the case for every person with depression. By that logic, anyone caught with a dime bag or has ever had depression (60%) may as well not be allowed to have access to, let alone own, a firearm as well....? I'm all for keeping firearms out of the hands of people who are insane/unstable and violent criminals, but if we restricted every depressed or anxious person nation wide, we'd lose our rights overnight because our numbers would be so low, haha

I have a digital lock on my safe. Unfortunately, i have a VERY curious 1 year old and can't leave it out. I have those quick access safes i have for sale on here but TBH i have nowhere to mount/put one. I agree with what was said above. Depends on your needs. A nice safe can be had in the 1000-1500$ range without a doubt. Liberty makes some nice stuff, it depends on how fancy of a safe you want too.. Entry level versus higher fire protection and internal/external upgrades etc.. I wanted a Liberty real bad but couldn't swing the money.

Indeed. Thats the problem. Mr. Sweeney may not need to carry where he lives in his mcmansion, but i work in Newark, and that is all the Justifiable Need i could possibly think of. And not ironbound/by the hospital either, its the crappy area... All who live/work in Trenton, Camden, Newark, Jersey City and surrounding areas have true justifiable need. Elizabeth, Linden isnt much better. I live in Avenel and this is a fairly crappy area as well.

I'm talking about the younger dude, has sort of spiky hair It is simply unnecessary; everyone else said to for legal reasons, i figured you were saying the same, like the guy you quoted was. She may even be a prohibited person; i'm honestly not sure. IIRC she was on suicide watch after her mom left the country to marry some guy she met online when she was young. Not certain of that, though. I don't ever really bring it up, but i'll ask her about it out of curiosity. I dont really think she cares much because she liked a few of the other compact handguns we saw that were simply nice, clean looking with wood grip panels and stuff, but i know she has pointed out the Kimber sapphires MULTIPLE times, as well as a pink ruger stripper pistol (LCP?), haha. I don't think its a matter of colorful as much as just "pretty" in general. I feel the same way when it comes to the Nice 1911's out there with the beautiful wood grip panels and designs, but she also likes the typical girly handguns. I'll have to go to the store with her and see what exactly it is she wants.. Saw it, and almost bought it but then i saw the ammo prices for 380 and its pretty crazy. I don't know how much she'd shoot it but i know she burns through 22 like its nothing. Its a fine looking piece, i'd love to get my hands on one. I also read online, though, that it has very loose tolerances and a loose slide therefore making it very inaccurate, though, which also turned me off. No sense in buying a plinker that you know is gona suck just so it makes a bang noise. Haha

Can't beat the convenience of having a LGS that close, though, where you can browse. The other one on Main st (bullethole i think?) Seemed nice when i stopped in but not much when it comes to stock; id probably have to order anything i'd want. See Post # 64

I was not aware. Good to know. If you were to sell said BB pistol *in nj*, youd have to request a handgun permit, right? Stupid laws. I Thought the FID was primarily a long gun thing as far as transporting/possessing.The laws here confuse the crap out of me. Nonetheless, OP, best not get pulled over with a bunch of firearms and no FID. Keep em locked up til ya get your papers, haha.

I thought that only applied to long guns, and that handguns are a no-go?

Got my ammo in today! For some reason it has dark water mark lookin spots or something on it, but otherwise looks good.

The manager is the younger guy, right? Like upper 20's, maybe? He's the guy i normally deal with when i get ammo (hence the 'other than the few times i bought ammo @ rahway) and is fine. The old guys working the cases, not so much.

Damn, i have to go buy a jeep now. Or take the cap off my F150.

^yep.. Some info on the firearm and pictures. I Dont know how the whole process works moving to NJ from another country too; you may have to store them out of state until you get your FID?? I Have no idea.

I got a new AR on 9/2! I believe the brief above was what happened on 9/2, though i could be wrong.

There is only one, single issue i could possibly forsee, and that is the 15 round limit BS. The only thing i would EVER be worried about is that they can take you to trial due to how easily you can link together two 15-round strips and make it 30rounds ZOMG. My understanding was, even with 30rd mags, they have to be *permanently* modified to 15rds, which is why on the 15/30 pmags i believe they use epoxy, or with hexmags they are simply obsolete for anything else and cant be 'unconverted' like a pmag with spacer can. I would contact NJSP firearms department and ask them, because i'd be shitting my pants if i got pulled over with them. The gun itself should be fine, though?

Yea, im fully aware of this. You're correct about the ages, 18 to own long guns, 21 for handguns. Heritage guild in Rahway is a no-go. IIRC Branchburg the guy was much nicer (other than the few times i bought ammo in rahway). Their employees at the Rahway location are for the most part fairly rude. Probably because i'm a young guy; i dont know, but youd think they would be more welcoming of young enthusiasts if anything. Theres one younger employee there and he's alright, but the older guys are just complete turnoffs whenever i go looking around there. Every time i go looking to buy a firearm, i end up leaving disappointed because of the way i'm treated... Easton PA was better. Havent been to the branchburg location in a while but they were all great there. As far as the loaded mag thing discussed above; i transport local mags. Locked in separate cases from my firearms, usually ammo in the back seat guns in the truck bed unless its her car. NJSP Cleared it as fine at the last SAFE convention from what i was told.

What potential legal problems? Jesus christ people. She wont be walking around with my AR strapped to her back in the streets of Newark. All im looking for are suggestions for handguns that she might like like she does the 15-22 AR i have to keep her interested when we go to the range. If i was worried about legal problems, i wouldn't own firearms. Hell, i probably wouldn't live in this shitty state to begin with. I have a nice big shiny safe that she can't get into. The only time she handles firearms is if i am there. If i had any questions regarding the legality of her shooting my handgun, i would ask, but it isn't illegal for her to shoot a handgun that I own, so long as i am there and it is at a range or other legal location. To be clear, not bashing the discussion above regarding the transfer of firearms and what not, but moreso the people worried about me going to jail because this is a potential straw purchase or what if she shoots some bad guy and its my gun or whatever. Holee crapolla peepul. Relax. Yes, the system sucks, but unless you're an idiot or have some genuinely horrible luck, NOTHING is going to happen. My firearms are ALL legal and ALL registered appropriately. They are locked in a safe, away from my one year old (and S.O.), because if god forbid something happened to her (or she shot one of us) the last thing i'd be worried about is going to jail, seeing as id probably take my own life. NOW THEN, i may just get a green cerakote job on my G19 slide and buy a VP9 with my 2nd permit. I have to have her shoot it and see if she likes it.

^Exactly. My significant other burned through 300 rounds of .22, and thats because thats all i brought. I Shot my glock for the first time the other day and put about 200 rounds down range. I Can easily put just as many down my AR, and was going to but the guy next to me was stealing my brass and i didnt want to get into an argument over it, because my brass was landing at his bench. Nevermind my other rifles and such, and 500 rounds in a day when im not alone is no problem. When its just me i burned through 350 or so, maybe. I Shoot for fun, moreso than to prepare for the EOTWAWKI. I Currently have no need to be able to effectively shoot more than 50', and i know i can take someone down with a kill shot at AT LEAST 5x that with my AR. (100 yard line at Range 14 is as far as i generally shoot) Good enough for me. If the world ends, my equipment can easily shoot out past that, so im really not too worried about it.

Would be cool, but unlikely. Its not a private range, so i doubt we could bribe them into doing so, nor would it really be worthwhile. We can get a decent group to go during a weekend day. Its starting to get cooler out and during the fall the crowds start to die down. Worst case scenario we have to wait a bit longer, but id probably just give them a heads up if we were a larger group.

When i first got my FID i thought 1,000 was a ton. I now have a HELL of a lot more than that, though... turns out i can easily go through nearly 1,000 rounds in a single trip to the range (mostly 22) with me and another person, haha.

Many of them come from shitty areas themselves, and know the importance of self defense. The guy had to have an FID though. More power to him. TBH id be uneasy around him myself if he were armed, but im Israeli and have had missiles blow up in my yard as a child... Lol.. the relationship my people have with M.E. people is a bit different. That said, most ARE peaceful people. The ones we hear about are their equivelant of the westboro baptist church who has taken matters into their own hands. Many Muslims fight in the IDF along side Jews and Christians.
