Hello all,

 

I was referred to this forum from my brother-in-law NJdiverTony. I had been meaning to purchase a gun for many years now but never got around to filling out the paperwork. I even went to the local police station years ago and picked one up, but then found out we had a baby on the way so all my money went to diapers and formula. Finally a few months ago I was discussing it with my wife and to my surprise she was all for it. She also wanted to go shooting to relieve stress. So about 5 weeks ago I filled out all the paperwork then went to get fingerprinted($60 what a scam). Luckily I am a volunteer firefighter in town and I know all of the cops personally. I also sell and install all of the equipment in most of the local PD's cars. So the process has gone fairly quick and I will hopefully be receiving my FID and permit in about a week. I recently purchased a Sig P226 Enhanced Elite after speaking to many of the local police dept's around me and countless hours of research on the internet. I found a great deal on gunbroker.com and purchased it through Nelson Tactical and had the gun shipped to Jim's Gun Shop(who happens to be a Sgt. on one of the police departments I service). There is nothing more frustrating than having my gun sitting at the gun dealer waiting for my permit.

 

I look forward to learning a lot from the many experienced people on this site.

Hi, welcome.

 

Bergen county...so you can shoot at Bullethole, Bayonne and Cherry Ridge.

Howdy

welcome from Bayonne

Unfortunetly all three of those are almost an hour or more away from me. I live in the northeast corner of Jersey and there is a range 10 minutes from my house, BUT of course it's in New York so I'm not supposed to cross the border with a handgun. I may check out Tenafly Rifle and Pistol Club which is about 20 minutes away.

Welcome to the forum.
