Hey folks, hows it goin? Ive been lurking around the board for a few weeks, and making a post or two, but i figured i should formally introduce myself. Im a total n00b when it comes to firearms, ive only shot a bolt action .22 when in boy scouts like 15 years ago, but i loved it! Recently moved in with my fiance here in New Brunswick (not the best area), and decided its about time to invest in a HD weapon. Ive been researching firearms extensively since i applied for my permits in september, and hope to get some good advice from you all on the subject! So, hello!

Welcome boomer.

I am close by in East Brunswick and purchased my 1st firearms shortly after finding this board mid 2009.

 

Goold old 12g would make a nice HD weapon with a 9mm as a backup.

welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the group.

Hello and welcome. I use to frequent NB a lot, though my buds have moved out to Edison since. You're right on about protecting yourself though... in 2006 my friend's had their place broken in to (at night when they were sleeping!), and then in 2008 in a different house (a block down from their old one), a shoot out took place on their street.

 

What types of HD weapons were you thinking of?

Welcome! I work in NB and live near by. Plenty of good places around here to eat all sorts of food. Mmmm.

 

Good call on showing interest in Home Defense. I purchased a 12g NEF Pardner Pump for just such a thing down the road at the Dicks Sporting Goods on Route 18 a few months ago.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone!

I know just what you mean about the area, i lived off campus for 3 years, had 1 car stolen, the next car broken into and radio stolen, and had my place broken into 4 times, once they actually came into my room and took my wallet while i slept....very unsettling

 

as far as HD weapons, i was planning on getting a 9mm handgun for my first (about to make another post about which i should get) and ive also had my eye on a mossberg 500.... im a little broke at the moment, so we'll see! very excited! :banana-dance:

I lived in Brumfus for my college years and a few afterward. What a fun (and cheap to drink in) town.
