Would you take a kidney? I got an extra one to trade, you only need one anyway!

Get the expungement. I have made my mistakes when I was younger which left me in limbo on my gun rights in this state. You need to get that expungement man. I know when I did my expungement, my lawyer did jack shit for me, it’s probably better to petition the courts yourself. Since I got my expungement in December 2019, I have been buying guns left and right every month to make up for the loss time.

Be prepared gentlemen, it looks like something is coming in the pipeline.

I will take it

My mom told me that if I ever got a tattoo, she would rub it off with sandpaper. Perhaps try that method.

@Ray RayI will take it.

Sorry @Pjbbut I bought the ammo. Always keep your eye out on the classifieds here, affordable 9mm ammo can be found still.

I would recommend to have your child contact their high school counselor to see what local scholarships that they can apply to. Every dollar counts, those books are expensive, the food is expensive, and basically breathing in college is expensive. I applied to a few local scholarships which helped me out, but I didn't qualify for those bigger scholarships. My younger brother learned from my example ( like he usually does) and applied and got into the Bonner program at school. Its a work based community service organization where they pay for a significant portion of your tuition in exchange for work. Also don't live on campus, if you want to live on campus the first year to gain those memories and make those friends then okay, but once you do that, either commute from home or live in some off campus housing. Having a job while in school helps, on campus jobs don't pay much but you can always work on homework while you work and they aren't labor intensive. I also had friends do two years of community college and transfer to a bigger school, which saved them money. There is money out there for college with scholarships. It helps to know where to look. Also look in to the Elks scholarships.

Get a quick access safe that you can mount in your bedroom closet. Various manufacturers make quick access safes for shotguns. And most importantly, teach the kids proper gun safety.

If the deal falls through I will take it

It is a shame how expensive transfer fees can get. In any other free state, buyer and seller just exchange cash and be done with it the transaction. But of course, NJ just wants to screw you.

Out of all the makes and models you listed I would either stick with the Maverick 88 or the Stevens 320. I got no experience with the Turkish guns. My buddy owns a Maverick 88 and I own a Stevens 320. The maverick is assembled in Texas with some parts made in Mexico while the Stevens 320 is made in China. The Maverick will be able to use Mossberg parts and accessories. The Stevens 320 is a clone of the Winchester 1300 but some parts like the buttstocks are not compatible. The Stevens isn’t as built as well as a Winchester but it has a decent action and in my limited use, works (more testing needs to be done, need a few more shotgun shells to run through it). My buddies Maverick 88 was his first gun, and has been reliable. It seems to me, all things considering with COVID, that these prices are pretty high with the retailers you priced checked with. The Stevens 320 security (12 gauge, 18.5 inch ghost ring sights barrel, pistol grip stock) I bought this year, I got for $315 out the door and that included NICS and NJ sales tax, without tax it was $279. I would suggest to look around, check out r/gundeals on Reddit, and the WTS section of the gun forum. In conclusion, go with the Maverick 88. If you go with a six shot model, you can always get a spare barrel for clay shooting or hunting and get accessories like lights, different furniture and side saddles and slings for the gun. Remember it’s always a good idea to have a way to carry an extra reload on the shotgun and a weapon mounted light to positively identify a threat. And remember, birdshot is for the birds, not bad guys.

I have backed out due to my busy schedule. It is back up for sale. Anyone needs some 7.62x39, jump on it! @axeman_g is a great guy to deal with.

80% lowers are on the chopping block

Don't forget, Biden's nomination for Attorney General, Merrick Garland, is an anti-gunner and promises to advance gun control with the DOJ.

I will take the last case

Yep, correct. Forgot to add that piece of info too

Just an FID card, drivers license and to be 21 years old or older.

I am sending a PM

As per private message, I will take it.

Pm sent

I will take it. PM inbound

I will be honest, both major political parties suck, not on this issue but many other issues also. Whine and moan as much as you want, the national democratic platform actively wants to turn me and everyone on this forum into criminals. The Republicans on the national level haven't been actively pushing pro-2a policies and reforming the laws. The first two years of Trumps term, they could of done national recopcity with conceal carry or reforming the NFA, but they did jack, and now look were we are right now.

I must of misinterpted the data, my mistake. But we can all agree that there has been an increase of gun owners in NJ in 2020.

I remember reading it in a NJ.com article about all the NJ residents applying for gun permits and cleaning out the shelves, I may be wrong and misread that number. But in a 2019 article on NJ.com, the article stated that the estimated number of NJ gun owners are about 1 million people.
