  1. It's been 30 days since I submitted my paperwork, so i followed up today. There's one person in the department who handles all permit applications and I was told there were at least 20 in front of mine...so no update. At least they verified that it was there!
  2. IMO the NY legislation is an obvious stall tactic. It's absolutely unconstitutional and IMO will be shot down when challenged in court. But that obviously takes time and money, so it will delay MANY applicants. The only 'social media' account I have is Facebook, so they're welcome to look at vacation pictures, school graduations, etc, etc.
  3. New video from Carry Trainer with some holster and belt recommendations. Great discussion on how to setup for carry:
  4. I'm in North Jersey, so i went to the location in Spring Valley, NY. They had plenty of appointments available, so it was very easy...
  5. Indeed. But it seems like the idea is to have the closest responders better able to immediately engage a threat. A PCC is still outgunned against a .223/5.56 carbine, but MUCH better than just having a pistol. That, combined with superior training could make a big difference.
  6. Nice turnaround by S&W. Might bring some people back who left them after they bowed to Clinton...
  7. Interesting action taken by a Sheriff in Brevard County Florida. He wasn't happy with the time it would take deputies to get to their cars to retrieve a carbine during an emergency, so he's assigning them KelTec Sub 2000 carbines that will be strapped to their chests at all times. "Sun Tzu says in the Art of War that 'every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought,'" said Ivy in an announcement of the new policy on social media. "What Sun Tzu meant was that you must outsmart, out strategize, out train, and out prepare your opponent long before the battle is ever fought." Previously, Ivey's SRDs would have to identify a threat that needed their patrol rifle, then race to their car to retrieve their patrol rifle. The new level of preparedness will "gives our team members the advantage and ability to instantly address the threat with the level of force necessary to eliminate the shooter," said the Sheriff."

  8. The highland Park ordinance apples to "public buildings, such as our schools, our library and our community center". Where did you see something about a NJ ordinance that will "essentially ban legal conceal carry everywhere? Carry permits for the common man is brand new to NJ, so IMO the fact that some are trickling in after such a short time, and nobody has heard of rejections at this point is a good indicator that things are progressing.
  9. Good choice. I'm a fan of that platform. I've had a KSG for years and i really enjoy shooting it. I added a recoil pad that made the shooting experience much more enjoyable.
  10. Glad to hear it. Don't forget your $50 money order to the NJ Treasury...
  11. Agree with this. I have a good relationship with my local police clerk, so I have a spot on my calendar to follow up on August 17 if I don't have any kind of update.. That's about 3 weeks after I handed in my paperwork, so my message will be that "I'm following up to see if there's any additional information needed". When it gets to the court I'll do something similar. No need to be angry/aggressive, but if we just drop off our paperwork and don't "chase" a little bit it won't be important to the PD or the courts. If it's not important to them they'll ignore as much as possible.
  12. I have a KelTec KSG, so i can load a LOT of mini shells. I use them for practice at the range and to help new shooters get used to a shotgun. I've never had a failure, but I always have the gun loaded with regular shells when it's in the safe...

    Here's an example of the bar type (from a Taurus G2C):
  14. The cynical side of me agrees. A bunch of new people would pay to get 'certified' to provide the new training, trainers have to purchase the materials, certificates have to be paid for, NRA gets a fee for each person who signs up, etc, etc.
  15. Appreciate it. The more we share, the better...
  16. From the link: "The NRA CCW Course, created for citizens who currently do not have a CCW permit, will vary in duration from one hour to 16 hours, and will follow one or more of 10 modules, to be determined by the certified NRA CCW Instructor. " That's concerning to me. I appreciate the NRA's effort to add standardization, but there should be NO requirement at all. I sat through the hour long course (about 7 minutes of which was shooting) because it checks a box in NJ and is currently the law of the land, but 16 hours is inexcusable IMO...
  17. They called work to verify employment??? why the hell is that part of the process?
  18. He sounds like a huckster, but if he's willing to bring you in and complete the 5 shot revolver qual free of charge then it might be worth it. If there's any additional charge (at all) I'd say bail and go to Shooters.
  19. My town requires that the Mental Health form be witnessed by them, but they have a stack of extra blank forms available if necessary.
  20. Yup. I trimmed my passport photos to 1.5 x 1.5 just in case...
  21. They may have updated their guidance section, but the form still says 1.5 x 1.5
  22. Here's the site to bookmark.
