How do you like it thus far? I've been looking at buying the 4.5" in Bi tone or black .45 cal. Just not with the threaded barrel.

Anyone have a decent mobile unit theyre looking to get rid of?

NJGF - I will likely pursue it one day. My next will likely be Florida as I have family there and travel there regularly. Griz - Thank you for the insight/info. That makes me feel a little better, and your right Im just so used to having to try to interpret things defensively I guess.

I am looking for more information regarding a specific section of that law. There are differences if you do posses a permit or if you do not.

So I spend a lot of time in the northeast. A lot of the time I am off the beaten track in the middle of no where. I have my NH permit, but would like to carry concealed when I am up in Maine as well. At first glance, it looks like with the relatively new law, it is no big deal. But it does seem that a lot of people think that there are certain specifics that make you think otherwise. Number one being the fact that even though I am lawfully allowed to own and therefore carry my firearm concealed (legally purchased by myself in NJ through the proper channels, legally transported following the FOPA regulations, etc. - considering I do not have a non-resident permit, the law states that if I am stopped or questioned by law enforcement I must immediately let them know that I have a concealed firearm on my person. Some seem to think that the law is written this way so that the officer may then hold/detain you for further investigation. I am sure there are some officers out there that would take the opportunity to do so. But, if you are a law abiding citizen, say an officer shows up because your on the side of the road with a flat tire, or something simple. Or someone rear-ends you in town. IE: technically you didn't break any laws or do anything wrong. Either just got unlucky or in the wrong place at the wrong time. You notify the officer that you are carrying a concealed firearm that you are lawfully allowed to posses - Realistically, where does it typically go from there? I have to assume they will just do the normal run your DL and check registration/insurance. Or will a hard-a** officer thats having a bad day put you in the back of his patrol car and jam you up for a couple hours, or worse? Will they want to see/check the firearm? If so - What is the safest way to do this so that they feel safe and secure? I am just wondering if its even worth it. I am sure there are other aspects of the law that may cause concern as well. In closing - Is it worth it, or does the firearm stay at home? I have a very high respect for the law enforcement community, And I want to do my part to keep them safe. I just dont want to get stuck or detained in Maine because I was obeying the law.

What price are you guys seeing on the Vp9's? I see 549 on the website. Not 450 EDIT: nevermind - i see I had to add the code to the cart.

Never did my employer ever get a phone call. If they did I would know about it (Small family owned Pro-2A business). Between years ago getting my initial FID and purchase permits, and my latest round of permits and FID Change of address...Not once did they contact my employer. And only the initial FID did they ever contact my references. No contact of references the second time around. I wouldn't worry about it. And regardless - Even if they did, I highly doubt it would raise an eyebrow, unless you work for the Clinton Campaign?

This would be really nice, and I hope it does happen. Unfortunately I personally doubt we will ever see this. Sure, potus has power.... I just think people believe he has more power then he actually has. With that said - Most of you here are much more politcal savy than myself...I would love to be wrong.

I placed my first order with them yesterday. 5% off. Have you shot any of their reloads? I ordered some .223. to try out.

On another note - Thanks for making a "deal" and then totally drop off the face of the earth. Classy. I have placed two orders with two different MFG's both yesterday and today - Pricing seems to of remained the same as its been. Both vendors did say they were rather backlogged at the moment.

Ive seen people claim they've received them in less than 30 days from some towns on njhunter forums. So its def not unheard of. The trouble I am having is in Totowa nj

Yea thats what I thought and that is what I completed, printed, and brought with me. What a joke. Anyone know if I can or cannot just bring it to the state police barracks in town? Will they likely just tell me I have to bring it to the local township PD?

So I have gone to my towns records dept 3 times now. First time was 2 in the afternoon, and there was a hand written sign on the window that said "closed". Wait around 2 weeks for another opportunity - Ask work if they mind if I am a 1/2 hour late and go yesterday morning at 9 am. No one is there. The PD desk tells myself and two others waiting that she is off today, but will be in tomorrow. They tell me they believe that change of address can just be done online (news to me, which I dont believe is true). But whatever...I ask work if its ok to go again today as they told us she would be there. Get there at 9 am again and through the glass see the same gentleman that was there the previous morning waiting, standing outside the records window again. Walk in and realize that the lights are still off....Records is closed, again, and this time seems no one knows where she is. Gave it until 9:15...and left. On top of that - the other gentleman was there to pick up his FID card. Asked him how long it took and he told me 6 months. 6 months! I did want to apply for 2 purchase permits as well but at this point If i am able to do the change of address process online I will just do that. I dont think this is possible, but that PD thinks it is. Anyone have any tips? 6 months will be 8 months if I cant even get the forms to the records dept in 3 weeks. PS - I do also have a state police barracks in my town. Should I just go there instead? Or MUST i go to the local PD? EDIT: looks like I have to go to the local PD according to this wording from the state PD website: "If you do not have a local police department or you are an out of state resident, you must apply at the nearest New Jersey State Police station "

my permit arrived saturday sept 10th. originally mailed July 26th, So 5-6 weeks now is prob the norm.

My check which I mailed 7/26 was cashed this morning. Psyched! Now gotta send in my change of address for my FID and wait another 2 months

So yea, njJoniguy confirms my suspicion that theyre just getting a little backed up. According to his timeframe hopefully my check is cashed any day now.

Im aware that state offices dont process things during the weekend. Was just keeping everyone updated. 5 weeks today and no check cashed. Likely just a bit backed up. Will give it until friday before I think about calling to check on it. Regardless - I have to send in my FID change of address which will likely take 2 months anyway. Yay.

Still no check cashed or mail

Well, either I am the exception, or they're starting to get more backlogged/delayed. Im at 4 weeks and 2 days today and no activity with the check I wrote. Seems like everyone else's check has been deposited within 4 weeks or less.

OK cool - thanks for the quick reply! I'll keep an eye on the checking account and update.

Did anyone else happen to track theirs? Mailed mine 7/26, so Im on 4 weeks today but check hasnt been cashed. When I track it, it was delivered July 28th however it says delivered to PO box. The address is not a PO Box. Wondering if this is an issue and dont want to bother the PD.

Well - Hopefully they dont invalidate all the ones theyve already issued if things change. I am at 3 weeks since sent today - hope I get through. That would be my luck. This should help keep things ok in PA for a little while - "Pennsylvania’s Attorney General Is Convicted on All Counts"

Had a great time. Started on the Beaverkill around 8:30 am after the 2 hour drive. Overcast and pleasant temp. Water was cool. Nothing really happening. I took one swipe in the tailout of one pool on a black ghost streamer, and that was it. My buddy saw one other riser in the head of the pool. Fished that stretch until around 10:30 AM. Water temp was still good so we hit a spot downstream and I took two immature smallmouths on a Mickey Finn, and took one swipe from what looked to be a Rainbow. No surface activity. My buddy fell in....Phone and all. No bueno. Made our way to the West Branch around 1:30 for a hopeful Sulphur or Blue winged olive hatch. Started out in a light drizzle. No visible activity. As the rain picked up, I noticed some sulphurs coming off. Unfortunately the real rain started about 2 minutes later and DOWN POURED on us for a good hour. During which I pounded some of the banks with a big articulating streamer on the 7 wt. Not a hit. My waders literally filled with water from the rain, even while wearing my soft shell. Finally slowed to a light rain while we regrouped back at the car. Our legs were literally painful from the combo of the cold water and wet clothes. My feet were numb. Its so crazy considering how weve gotten used to 95 degree days recently. We made our way a few hundred yards down river to see if the sulphurs would continue. They CERTAINLY did. There were thousands of sulphurs coming off and floating down the river. At first I saw one rise, then two...then non stop. A Parachute 20 wasnt getting a second look so I went to tie on one of two cripple's i had in a 20. I dropped it and failed to scoop it up in the current. Pissed off, I tied on my second, and last, cripple pattern on 7X tippet (more on the tippet later). Watching an active riser around 15 feet out, I timed his rise the best I could and landed the fly a foot in front of where he was rising. As it drifted over the spot, I thought I was dreaming when I saw the mouth of a huge brown porpoise an Inch behind the fly, and slurp it in. I took a second and lifted gently to set the hook. Felt one quick head shake and....that was it. I barely felt the 7x (2 lb) tippet break. Just like that, he was gone. I searched through my box, and tried every sulphur size and style I had. The fish kept rising all around me....yet they wanted NOTHING to do with anything I offered. I jogged back to the truck to change into warm dry clothes as by this point I was shivering, soaked to the bone, and my lower legs and feet completely numb from the 55 degree water. Got back to it....and the fish kept rising until around 6-6:30. I never got another chance. Nor did my buddy. When people say the browns of the west branch are educated and picky....they are and then some. I learned two valuable lessons yesterday. First - DO NOT USE OLD TIPPET. Saturday evening I went to go to Ramsey Outdoor for a spool of 7X tippet, before remembering that the store had closed. Figured I would go to Dicks as I remember seeing they had RIO tippet a few weeks ago. They were all sold out of 6x and 7x. But how lucky, I found a spool of 7X in my bag. It had to be over 5-6 years old. Didnt think much of it until I lost that fish. Note to self - When it counts, dont use old stuff that you cant trust. Just isnt worth it. I have replayed the moment that fish took the fly probably 100 times. It was a long wet drive home. Also - be more prepared with flies you think you may or will encounter. While we had a blast, we probably could of had a few more chances had I not screwed up.

Yea def not ideal and I won't fish for trout typically in the summer either. If I do I keep a close eye on the water temps and stop when it hits 68. The west branch of the deleware is a tailwater which gets its water from bottom releases. Even in this heat it barely gets into the 60's- even mid afternoon. The trout do get super selective in the summer though. I just tied up some size 22 olives and sulphurs. Landing a big brown on a 22 dry is something I've yet to accomplish. Wish us luck
