Respectfully, I don't think this is accurate. If someone breaks into your home and they have a gun, there is no law that states that you have to engage in some sort of dialogue with the criminal to determine whether he's there to simply take all your possessions or if he's also going to shoot you.

Interesting. It would be great if they decided that standard capacity magazines were legal I bet there are a few people who would suddenly find some that had gone missing a few years ago. I bet there will also be a fair number of people who (oooops!) realize they had never switched over to 10 round magazines!!!!

Do we get bonus points for a perfect score?

The "national registry" should be something that never happens. All it takes is one pissed off liberal admin with access to a back-end system and gun owners are put at risk. Take California for example: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/california-doj-data-breach-exposes-personal-information-of-all-concealed-carry-permit-holders-across-state/ar-AAYZG4a "The names, addresses and license types of all concealed carry permit holders in California were exposed after the state Department of Justice suffered a data breach, authorities said Tuesday. The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday learned of the breach from the California State Sherriff’s Association, according to a statement. The breach occurred as part of the state DOJ’s launch of its “2022 Firearms Dashboard Portal,” the sheriff’s office said in the statement. "This public site allows access to certain information, however, personal information of Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit holders is not supposed to be visible," the agency said. The personal information included, but was not limited to, a person's name, age, address, Criminal Identification Index number and license type, according to the sheriff's office." Unreal. They're now targets for every scumbag who wants to steal guns...

I was just practicing with the Q target to get familiar with it...

I did some practice on one of those last night and it's definitely a forgiving target, even at 25 yards.

Indeed. Given the choice of .22lr or nothing, I'd go with the .22lr

It goes back to your point that you have to become the most polite person on the planet. Since NJ has been a 'no gun' state I suspect the police will be called ANY time someone sees anything that looks like the outline of a pistol on someone's waistline.

I'm a pretty lean guy with bony hips, so I'm planning appendix IWB. I've tried other positions but printing is pretty obvious. I have a cheap/functional clip holster like this: Not sure if I should get something more elaborate or just stick with this for a while and pick up a different one later when I get some actual experience carrying.

Amazon has it listed for $562 with free Prime shipping, so you can use that as a measuring stick.

Cherry Ridge membership fees - https://www.anjrpc.org/general/register_member_type.asp

One is a members only outdoor range and the other is a public indoor range, so I can't imagine trying to make an apples to apples comparison between them. With Cherry Ridge you're paying for access to the ranges they have. No indoor range can compete with the kind of variety there, but in cold weather you have to bundle up if you want to use it. You also need to bring your own guns, ammo, targets, bows, arrows, clays, etc, etc., so you have to be more prepared. Gun For hire is about the best indoor experience you'll get, and you can go regardless of the weather. They have rentals, ammo, accessories, and even a store now, so they'll cover whatever you need. It''s mainly a pistol range, so you're don't get a lot of value for rifle, shotgun, (or archery) IMO. GFH is also more expensive, so you need to factor that in if you're on a budget. Honestly you should just visit them and see which one would be the best fit for your situation. Of get a membership at both...

Thanks Anthony!

Maybe put a VFG on the DDM4? Not the same body positioning as with a Tavor, but close

Doesn't surprise me that the story is from West Virginia. EVERYONE carries in WV!!!! I was there this past weekend to help my wife's family with a move and I saw LOTS of people (men, women, old, young...) with guns printing through their clothes.

He's too old, stupid, and senile to get his talking points right. He was supposed to say 9mm can stop in the body and 22 cal (.223/5.56) cause devastating wound channels, but his mind couldn't keep things straight. Now his handlers will simply ADD 9mm to the list of things to be banned...

I can only imagine the traffic stop where someone has a pistol sitting on their passenger seat on the way to the "buy back". I wonder if the cop would just let them go on their way...

Holy cow. That seems absurdly long to me...

I think it would be great if he'll meet with you, even if it's just for a few minutes. Building a relationship with your local police (particularly the chief) is always a good thing IMO. If they recognize you by name/face because of a regular conversation they had with you, they'll be more likely to give you the benefit of the doubt in future interactions. It won't change the fact that you'll likely need a lawyer and doctor letter for a future application, but it can't hurt. Good luck.

Bunch of if/then scenarios IMO. I think it makes sense checking if you can withdraw the application and start over. With so much of the process being online now I'm not sure it's an option, but if that's possible then that would be best. If not, then you'll have to appeal the rejection. In either case you'll need to get the letter from a doctor saying that you're mentally safe to have a firearm. That will take time and money, so your application process will be further delayed. Also, if you go in front of a judge with "I forgot" when you discuss lying on the initial application (if you go through the appeal process) then it's safe to assume he'll reject the request. Come up with a better BS line than that. I appreciate that the incident happened when you were young, but you're a grown up now, so you have to take ownership of it. If you can't find information about the incident in your own records then contact your parents and get it from them. If they're not around any longer you'll have to do a record search and get it yourself.

I heard end of June as well. Still not optimistic about any changes in NJ, but interested in reading the opinions from justices on both sides...

Welcome. Misery loves company. NJ and Cali gun laws are the worst in the nation...

What kind of communication was there previously? Was it all by text? If so, what were the initial responses like? If the guy has gone radio silent as soon as he got your money then it sounds like he's scamming you. I'd try every method of communication possible to get in touch with the guy immediately (phone call, text, e-mail, letter, Facebook message, etc, etc). Attelboro Mass. i only 3 1/2 hours away, so maybe get up early in the morning and drive up and do some sightseeing and pay him a visit. If there's still zero communication then contact everyone you mention above.

IMO if you're disciplined and just do basic calisthenics every day you'll more than cover things. You don't need lots of time or equipment, just the discipline to do it. Here's a basic routine. Skip to the jump squats if you don't have access to the pull up/dip bars: https://www.healthline.com/health/fitness-exercise/calisthenics

This thing?
