I've been reading this forum for a few months now and it's been a great resource so far. Thought I'd take the opportunity to introduce myself. I applied for my FID and 3 P2P back in October, got prints done first of November and my references (my town required 3) just told me they were called by the detective running the checks. Probably going to jinx myself with this thread, but hoping to have my approved paper work soon.

 

I'm not a complete newbie to shooting as I've gone skeet shooting a bunch of times and fired pistols several times with friends and at the NRA first steps class at Gun For Hire where I learned quite a bit. I've never owned my own firearm (outside of a few BB and pellet guns as a kid) so I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of stupid questions. Definitely plan to continue taking training courses as I get more into the sport.

 

So if you see me around asking newbie questions, feel free to steer me in the right direction. I'll soon be posting the obligatory 'which first pistol' post in the handgun forum as I've been thinking of a Glock 19 and a Ruger 22/45 for my first two P2P to work on technique (have used them in training classes and with friends), unsure what the third P2P will be used for. Then I'm sure I'll be following with the 'where to shoot' questions as I've been reading up on all the local public and private ranges (none of which are very close to me, unfortunately).

 

Thanks for reading.

Welcome. And, I'm sure you have heard along the way; The only stupid question is a question not asked.

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum, might want to fill out a little more info in your profile like to start location. that helps people steer you to the people in your area, plus if you are looking for something specific and someone is in your area, they can show you or if it's a gun, shoot it.

Welcome to the forum from Toms River.

Hello njplinker and welcome to the Forums!!

Well, got the call from my local PD yesterday that my FID and permits are ready to be picked up. 2 months to the day from the time I dropped off the forms or 6 weeks since I got fingerprinted. Not too bad. Unfortunately I'll need to take a day off from work to go in and pick them up.

 

Then begins the fun part, handling a bunch of pistols, hopefully renting a few and making a decision on my first purchase.

 

 

Welcome to the forums.

Took me a few days to get to the PD to pick up my forms, but now I'm all legal with FID and 3 P@P. I'll post in the other ongoing thread, but my PD was very courteous throughout the whole process and didn't run in to any hiccups (other than the process taking a few extra weeks).

 

Thanks again for all the warm welcomes.
