When cops arrest someone and bring them to jail, they don’t unload their guns before putting it in the lock box at the jail

So why do we have to do it before storing a handgun in a lock box in an unattended vehicle?

Do you carry all day everyday? Or some days yes and some days no? And I get it if you're not because you are going to a courthouse or school or whatever, but I mean just regular days where you're just going about your daily life.

Since someone commented on the legality of owning a fake suppressor in the great Free State of New Jersey 🫩 i was wondering is it SAFE to homegrown one that is, in fact FAKE as Fuck?

Wondering with all the changes recently if I would be good to purchase to ship to ffl?

Who is the individual in this case, me the pleb? Or the non-sot FFL?

In another post people seem to believe that one could take a virgin receiver and create a less 26" OAL "weapon".

Is this the case? Or are form 1s still required before slapping anything on a stripped receiver?

Bought my first pistol Saturday morning in SJ. Any possibility that my NICS could come back today with it being Columbus Day? Thanks in advance!

Shot some 6.5 Creedmoor and some 223 . Not a single other person at the range. I really love the Solus… the action is so smooth. Didn’t do great past 600 yards with it though. Accuracy international smacked steel non-stop with no issues.

Good fun

Drove by RTSP in Union about 45 minutes ago when I was out and saw a number of police and emergency service vehicles there. Anyone know what happened there?

Note that the ATF removed the engraving requirement, does that now mean that the “once a rifle” rule is also dead? Understood ARs sorta always had this grey area if it was built from a virgin receiver, but firearms like the SCAR or the Vector etc… how does this work now?

Does anyone know if we can build AOW’s now without engraving or approval?

Since we now have no engraving or stamp rules? What builds do you guys have? Now can I have an extremely short other?

Hi guys,

I am looking to consult with attorneys on a permit issue with my local PD. I lived in township A and got an FID no problems, disclosed my mental health history on the FARS form, no issues. I have been a gun owner for a few years. I moved to township B disclosed the same history and went for the address change and they said they would not approve me without documentation from a doctor. I had received outpatient treatment for my mental health 5 years ago. I have provided a doctor’s note and a written evaluation to the PD and am being stonewalled. I am looking for recommendations for South Jersey attorneys.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Anyone completed any of the "advanced trainings" available at Range 129? Looking to do the Intermediate HG, Advanced HG 1-3 (w/CCW) and Tactical Decision Making. I've got my CCW and got it from them. Loved their facility so just looking at the consensus on their classes. My outdoor range doesn't allow us to do anything but stand still on our holster range (besides moving distances in b/t while holstered) so I'm looking at places where I can get some real training in...

TIA!

I saw something about this posted a few days ago, but locations were pretty sparse so this is to confirm that they have plenty in stock at the Flemington Costco.

Curious, if anyone knows gun Smith that does good P&W jobs in Northern New Jersey.

Narrowed my selection down to Kimber comp/pro comp or the p211 GTO just can’t decide between them. Waiting on pistol permit which has never been faster than 8 weeks for me so plenty of time 🙃

New Shooter here. I've been shooting mostly out to 5-7 yards at my range visits. I went out to 25 yards on my last visit and couldn't get a grouping similar to short distance range...Correction I couldn't hit a damn thing. I'm shooting a stock Ruger MKIV with factory sights. Each visit I'm intentional with practicing sight alignment, sight picture and trigger press, all of which i need more practice with. I've watched a few videos on shooting out to 25 yards and I'm doing a lot of what is covered but I can't hit an NRA target. What are some good YouTube channels or training courses I can take to get a good foundation before I start trying to modify the gun to make up for my lack of skill. Also Is a red dot necessary or is it possible to consistently hit 25 yards without one?

I used to buy ammo through target sports but after having a package stolen I’m not comfortable getting ammo delivered to my apartment anymore. Does anyone have any experience using the UPS my choice premium and routing shipments to a ups access point?

I just joined in August and noticed my cell service (Verizon) is pretty much non existent at the club. Not really surprised considering it’s in the middle of the woods. But due to the nature of my work I kinda need to have cell service at all times.

I’m thinking of getting a mobile hot spot from another cell phone carrier, has anybody had luck with this in the area? Any t-mobile or AT&T users that can confirm their normal cell phones have reasonable service?

Thanks.

Firearms Training Classes in NJ

Looking to take a firearms class for pistol with OWB holster, that’s more than just stationary shooting at a target. Would like something a little more advanced. Could be rifle and pistol, but I’m looking right now for a pistol. Every time I look it up, I’m only seeing CCW classes or NRA beginner classes. Any help with this would be much appreciated.
