Hello all, I am a 23 yr old Rutgers grad who recently has gotten into guns in NJ. Some things about me: I am a Republican (a rarity in our fair state), I love to shoot (in PA), and I am trying to get into hunting for both Deer and Turkey (currently looking for a Remington 11-87 to fit the bill).

 

I own a few weapons:

 

- Kimber Pro TLE/RL II (1911) = my favorite and most expensive firearm.

- Marlin bolt action .22 = cheapest one to shoot

- Remington 870 Tactical = home defense gun with a 6 + 1 and open cylinder barrel. Got a soft side saddle on it for 6 more rounds of fun.

 

Currently looking to buy:

- A do-all semi-auto shotgun for game hunting, trap/skeet, and other uses = I like Remington, and I like the 11-87.

- A pistol (I have one more PP to use with 75 days left) = probably going to buy a 9mm as the ammo is a bit cheaper and it has a greater capacity of ammo (normally), maybe I'll get a Glock 19.

- An Evil Black Rifle of some sorts... This is a long term project that I need to save and plan for. But I do want one.

 

Where I shop:

 

NJ Firearms Guild is right nearby, so I go there for most of my shopping needs. Dicks and Woodbridge Mall and Rockaway Mall are also places I look at, but they only sell new guns and new gun prices. Bullet-Hole is also nearby, but it's a pain to get to for me. Normally, I only go if there is something I really want that they have.

 

MY philosophy about NJ:

 

I love this state with all my heart. The good and the bad (even though it seems all bad now). I am a huge Devils fan, and go to many games. It is my belief that people who leave this state for 'greener' pastures (like North Carolina, etc) for lower taxes, more gun rights, etc. are giant wussbags. I believe that if people keep running away from bad politics and policies, then you only encourage such behavior. I also believe you have to make a stand for what you believe in, or else you will run out of places to run away too. This means that you have to go out and vote, and fight the corruption through grassroots campaigning and getting friends and family on board to help. It means joining the NRA (which I am saving up to do... I want the lifetime membership) to help protect the gun rights we all love and need. This state is not beyond saving, and it never will be as long as there are people out there to fight for what is right. Even if you may not agree with Republicans or Democrats, we can all agree (at the very least) that we want to corruption gone, and we want a state which can stay out of debt.

 

That is all, and thank you for reading.

Hello and Welcome !

You should join Monmouth County R&P club! It's right off exit 100 on the GSP, so only around 35 minutes from your place (45 minutes for me in Fanwood).

Welcome to the forum. Yes, right now, voting is the only thing that can save this state. Problem is, not enough residents that aren't gaining form the corrupt system vote. Vote G.R.I.P.

Welcome aboard the NJGF Freight train

Hello and welcome!

Welcome from Sussex County.

 

How did you manage to get through Rutgers and not become just another flaming Liberal nutjob? It must have been hell for you.

Hello from a wussbag headed to western North Carolina. I have been fighting the tide here and I am tried of losing. But a 23-year old should have your attitude. Welcome to the forum!

 

"It is a military axiom not to advance uphill against the enemy, nor to oppose him when he comes downhill." Sun Tzu

I broke up with a girl once because she said: "I don't mind paying more taxes if it goes to help people." The liberals at Rutgers are idiots.

 

True story: I was in engineering, and all our professors (research guys, the most liberal of the science people) were telling us indirectly that Corzine would be great for higher education and such. A few months later, I was vocal in having the last laugh on that one. Funny thing is, they'll still vote for our inglorious governor because of the big D behind his name. D for douche, dingbat, and dumb-ass if you ask me.

PS: Just remember, Einstein was smart enough to get out of Nazi Germany.

 

Hey man, it's your journey. But if we don't try and stop em here, they'll be in North Carolina soon enough for the same reasons. They'll come for the low taxes and cost of living, and then begin trying to vote in the ideals that people left over. The poor and lazy will always hang on to the coattails of the hard working and rich, and will follow them to the ends of the earth for their entitlements.

 

Thank you for the welcome friend. I wish you the best of luck in NC! . I know you're not really a wussbag (you probably have valid reasons to go, whether for employment or family), but for everyone of you that leave, it makes it harder for the rest of us to try and help our state.

Welcome to the forum DevsAdvocate!

welcome post whore. =P

Welcome, glad you are not too opinionated.

welcome post whore. =P

 

Haha, you should see me on the NHL forums.

hello and welcome

this has to be the record for most post within 24 hours. lol.

Active forums do tend to attract more users. 8-)

Wow, can you shoot as well as you post?

I shoot pretty well with my 1911. My .22 rifle isn't too bad... and I need to work on my shotgunning (trap/skeet).

 

Sucks they closed the outdoor range for skeet/trap near my town.

Fort Dix has a trap range. You can also go up to Clinton WMA and bring your own clays. I use to hunt up there when I lived further north. Nice range set up.

Is my understanding correct that you need to have a hunting license or have passed a hunter safety course in order to shoot at a WMA?

Yes, on a WMA one person in the group needs to have a valid NJ hunting liscence. A Hunters Safety card will not work, you need a current years liscence.

Welcome from your neighbor in Colonia. It's probably too late to tell you but I'm going shooting at my club in Carteret tomorrow and would invite you.

Welcome and for a first pistol you made a heck of a choice!!!! I agree we need to stop the dam from bursting and washing our right away here in NJ. May I suggest a good semi 22 to add to your list.

I've always wanted to shoot there and see what it's like. But I hardly have the money to afford it... nor do I think I have the skills to compete, haha

Devsadvocate: There is no charge to come as my guest. Just bring ammo, guns and ears. Call me at ten in the AM.

Thanks! I may take you up on that sometime!
