After a 5 year stent in California I'm moving back to NJ Feb 1st. I was looking for a NJ gun forum that I used to post on and stumbled on this one instead. Seems like a good place to catch up on all the new laws that have poped up since I left. Hope to learn and contribute.

welcome and welcome back.

Welcome back to NJ

Hi, Welcome back.

Welcome back. From one Republic to another....

Welcome back to NJ

Welcome back. From Commiefornia to Commie NJ.

 

I thinks its alot better in NJ than CA for guns? Yes?

Welcome back, proceed to increase the magazine capacity of your firearms from 10 to 15. Also, dump the bullet buttons, flash hiders, etc. at the door on your way in.

from a former NorCal resident, WELCOME BACK!!!

Welcome back to NJ and the forums.

Welcome back. Which part of CA?

Hmm at least CA has great weather

Thanks! I'd have to disagree regarding NJ being better for gun owners. California's liberal gun grabbing population is mostly centered around a few cities (San Fran, Oakland, LA, etc). Once you get even a little ways outside of the urban areas it actually very pro 2A (the people i mean not the laws). If nothing else there is no FID here and there are a ton of good ranges to shoot at. Buying a gun out hear is loads easier than in NJ and at least there's an inkling of hope when you fill out your CCW paperwork out here. I dont remember that being the case in NJ. Mind you i left in 07.

Ha! so you know about the bullet button? More of an inconvenience than anything else. Never seen anyone check to see if one was operational. Plenty of 15's and the likes where I shoot and they swap mags pretty quick. I think some people just glue them on. Funny you mention about 15 round cap. I had to dump a bunch of G21 mags with a Leo friend of mine when i left NJ. Wonder if he is still around.

 

Thanks for the welcome.

South Bay.

I'm in the South SF Bay area. It gets cold as a witches nipple here. Not as bad ad NJ but it aint So-Cal.

Welcome to the forum and back the the PR of NJ, I did the same think about 2 years ago when I moved back from Kali to NJ, been kicking myself for a while now. Not sure what forum you were on before but you found the best one for NJ gun owners.

GF's sister was in the Fremont area but she moved to SF itself. Nice area.

I'm a former resident of sunny San Mateo. I love the weather...it doesn't get too hot or too cold. But it is too expensive to live there.

Thanks! Wish I could stay but the call of the dollar is pulling me back.

Yeah it's all about the $$ here. Cost of living in Cali is about as high as the area here, but the pay is much lower.

If I were paying a home mortgage in the Bay Area, I wouldn't be able to afford our hobby.

I moved back to NJ from CA 6 years ago and still wished I was back there. Nothing compares to the positive attitude Californians have. Good luck back here. We should plan a Denny's meet one day

My biggest concern at this point about the move back is going through withdrawal while I wait for my FID. I normally keep 240 rounds of each caliber I own on hand (200 target and 40 SD). With the 11 pound per passenger limit on the plane I'll only be able to get maybe 12 boxes between our checked baggage. I'll shoot that up in no time.

We need an In-n-Out Bruger here to meet at!!!

You could alwasy ship the ammo via FedEx or UPS from Kali to NJ just before you fly to the PR of NJ..

I was mulling that over. UPS was working out to around 1.25 a pound. Not all that bad. I was actually about to start researching receiving it on the other end though. I mean its not like I'm buying it, I would just be shipping it between places I lawfully possess it right? I might give that a try unless i dig up any horror stories.

Or just get here and take a trip out to PA and buy whatever you'd like.
