Hello Everyone,

I just saw this article on NJ Gun Sales. You hardly ever see anything in the media that's not negative about guns so I thought it would be an interesting read.

I have to agree! I shoot at the Quinton Sportsmens Club and they are starting to think about closing it off since we are getting so many new members. The other issue is a lot of new shooters do not know how to safely handle a firearm which could lead to accidents. I would recommend any new shooter to take a training course or go out with skilled shooters when starting out.

We should probably forward that article to every politician in NJ, maybe they will stop considering us a fringe group to be abused for their own political gain when they realize gun ownership is becoming more mainstream.

Uh oh, since the Police don't release gun ownership info, I wouldn't doubt it if CeasefireNJ gets someone with a (D) after their name to correct that, all in the name of 'public safety'.

Yay now they can hire more clerks to help process permits and raise the fees!!......All while having the same level of crapy service.

The only thing that will save Jersey is to normalize gun ownership, so this is good news.

I clued in two family members. One just got their FPIC the other one is in waiting.

Maybe they tend to buy from FFLs rather than ordinary people.

The police there run NICS checks every month on people with carry licenses.

Kentucky started running monthly back ground checks on carry licensees about 2006. In addition, according to the pdf below, there are Seven background checks. Although they fail to specify what are the seven background checks. I know one of them is NICS.
