I’m also interested in their carbine program, but as mentioned all I see on the site and link is the 2018 schedule.

Just picked this up. MM outdid themselves.

I need a gshock. I’m wearing the Resco Patriot today.

I love watches. The movements are tiny marvels of engineering.

Here’s pic of my ACE.

I have a Modmat ACE and love the thing. It’s a great rifle.

I’m a “watch guy” through and through and I’d also recommend Seiko. Value for money on the SKX007/009 cannot be beat in the watch world.

I got one last weekend (from the great Monmouth Arms) and ran 250 flawless rounds through it using Glock mags. I love it. Super fun to shoot, great trigger, and accurate. I had a new shooter with me and he really enjoyed it as well. Can’t wait to take it out again this weekend.

http://modernmateriel.com I have one of their rifles and I like it a lot. Good group of guys.

I second Monmouth Arms. Steve can get whatever you want at a great price and the visits are always highly entertaining . I shoot at Union Hill Gun Club. Legend Firearms is also there. Howell Gun Works is a nice shop with good selection. Modern Materiel in Keyport is great if you need any custom work

Essentially we were trained to tell them thanks, but no thanks! Let those with training take care of things first.

So far all I have done is some traffic control for some of the (many) events that my town puts on. Street closures, etc. From what I understand they try to keep things fresh with at least one training a month unless there is an event that requires deployment. As mentioned, CERT is essentially the last line to be called. EMS and fire are the first to deal with things. As an example however, we've had two large fires within the past year (one structural and one wildfire), and CERT was deployed to help rehab the first responders. I actually prefer being the last to be called, as even though I really want to help out in town, I can't commit to something like EMS due to everythign else going on in my life.

I just went through the training this past spring and am now an official member in my town (Keyport). We were actually the first to be certified in the state this year. My town is small, thus the training class was small. Just me, my wife, and one other person. I enjoyed it. Kinda a pain in the butt to go once a week for two months or so since I commute to NYC for work every day, but I’m glad we did it. They cover a lot of basic, but important stuff. I also really liked the final training simulation. We had to clear out a building with various “victims” with a variety of injuries or other problems. If you have any specific questions, just let me know.

I don’t understand how the employer part in particular is in any way constitutional. I am relatively new to firearms and made the mistake of not requesting multiple permits when I got my FID a few months ago. Of course now I want a few more and when my employer (a pretty liberal organization in NYC) received another form it was a really awkward conversation. Even for the first one they said it was the first time they had ever received anything like that. What I choose to legally do or buy in my spare time is none of my employer’s business, never mind that it is my right to do so.

My first AR, finally. I did not build it.

Great to know. Thanks, guys. What are the dates for this particular match?

I’d love to participate in one of these, yet I am quite sure I would embarrass myself.

Keyport Borough for initial FID and one P2P. Dropped off everything 3/14, got the call on 4/18. Everyone was very pleasant to deal with, particularly the detectives’ bureau admin assistant that processes the paperwork.

Thanks! Yes, that is the plan assuming I work out the logistics with the fam.

Thanks, everyone! I spend a lot of time in the ADK high peaks area in NY and the White Mountains in NH. And when I can get there, Katahdin way up in Maine. I do most of my stuff in the winter since heat/bugs and me don’t mix. Somewhat more locally, my wife is a trail maintainer in Norvin Green State Forest.

Hi everyone, just taking a moment to introduce myself. I’ve been a huge 2A proponent for my whole life but am just now at the point where I am ready to purchase my first firearm, mainly because I needed to make sure the wife was on the same page first . I’ve been shooting a few times and love it. I am just waiting on my permits to go through and then I’ll be purchasing my first handgun, probably a HK VP9 since between my wife and I we need something ambidextrous. With the constant attacks on the 2A in NJ (especially recently) I am glad that there’s a forum where local gun owners can interact. I am looking forward to learning more from the members here. Other hobbies include watches, knives, and outdoor stuff like climbing and mountaineering. Nice to meet you all.
