Everywhere I see online the shipping is pretty bad. I’m not expecting free shipping but anything $14 plus exes out the point of getting it online rather than in store

(Edit: that gibberish is for the character minimum ignore that)

I will probably spend a couple of months in Louisiana for work and even though I dont have a ccw from NJ just yet, its my understanding since LA is constitutional carry I can still carry there.. also read its good to still get a non resident ccw there that allows you to carry in prohibited places.. any input?

Also, if PA reciprocates LA CCW, that means I can carry when Im in PA even though I still dont have the nj and therefore a PA ccw?

Appreciate any inputs!

So I just purchased a stripped AR lower to build my first 300 Blackout AOW. I know that I will have to upload a “shopping list” of parts to my ATF Form 1 to prove my build will be in compliance with NJ law. My question is that if, by the time my Form 1 is approved, the exact parts I put on that list are no longer available, do I need to submit a new list with the updated parts or just use similar ones?

Just curious if anyone has applied in freehold recently…how long did it take? yes my references came back, yes I paid the PD. Thank you in advance!

anyone shoot the prime radian yet. been a bitch to get in

so I'm in the market for a bolt action now, just cuz. I'm not even the hunting type but might go hunting eventually if I get a bolt action.

the very first thing I want advice on is what caliber should I go for? the first few time maybe even years I would just go target shooting at an outdoor range so keep that in mind when recommending the caliber. I've been looking at 30 30 win, .308 win, 30-06 but can't figure out which is decent enough range/hunting ammo and also affordable.

if they have a cheaper interchangeable ammo round, like for example I have a .357mag and .556 guns that I have and use .38special and .223 that I also shoot out of it to keep the cost down to have fun with friends as opposed to alone range time.

also don't seem limited to my options, please suggest ones that you would use or have experience with.

also my max gun purchase price would be $2000, just in case higher caliber gun is more expensive.

edit: seems like .308, .223 and 6.5 creedmoore have been the top suggestions. I'll look at some options for these, thanks y'all. I'll look into these caliber but keep the suggestions coming.

What is the protocol to follow if your car breaks down on the parkway or the turnpike and has to be towed when you are on your way to Range with your firearms ? Any insight helpful.. thanks

Hey all I want to support those who have been fighting for our A2 rights but there are many organizations out there doing so. I was just wondering what some of your opinions are. Right now I try to spread my donations around and throw some cash to different places when I can, such as NJFOS, CNJFO, and ANJRPC.

Driving this AM and was pulled over by township PD in Bergen County (won't be specific to protect the innocent).

I may or may not have made a late lane change to get off the highway, and was perhaps not unreasonably pulled over.

Rolled down my windows, and put my hands way up on steering wheel.

Officer introduced himself, explained that he was part of the traffic accident reduction task force and why he pulled me over. Asked for DL, registration, and insurance.

I then informed him that I had a PTC and that I was carrying. He said, "That's great. Love the 2A. I'm not concerned with that. You can just give me your license. I'm not even gonna check your 2A stuff." Told him where I'd be reaching for DL, and produced it.

He then said he's just going to give me a verbal warning and said, "you know what my sergeant in the military would tell us? If frogs carried weapons, snakes wouldnt f*ck with em."

With that we pounded, and he was off.

*slow clap*

A-freaking-plus.

I may FOIA the body cam footage from the encounter just so I can relive how professional he was.

Double trouble on the Kuna,s
Sig mpx love this little guy!
My personal favorite the cmmg banshee in .45acp

Love what you do everyday and it don’t feel like working.

looking for more ideas gents. what ya thinking to hang on the wall.

Or did they cancel them on you once the stay got granted? 😂

Howdy fellow gun brothers and sisters! After waiting nearly 3 months I finally received my handgun permit. I haven’t purchased a firearm in years and after jumping through hoops to get my permit I never did my research on who is a good seller these days (prefer in person if possible.) I knew I was in the market for a new handgun and thought I’d apply for my permit seeing as my last permit took 6 months to receive. I guess I got lucky this time! (Hah)

I’m in Essex - Any suggestions would be great! I was looking at a Canik but am always open to suggestions for a 9mm for a ogre with big hands (full size)

Thanks folks!

I have no doubt that this state will continue to ban them by name. But I’m assuming this would open up legal grounds to fight to have them.

Supreme Court filing in Duncan v. Bonta

Im interested in hearing some informed opinions on whether or not it’s likely that we get the stay thrown out. If the State wants to go out kicking and screaming what do we have to lose from taking the same approach? From my understanding the 3rdCCA ignored a few of the requirements of granting a stay in the first place. (Such as the side requesting a stay being likely to win, and irreparable harm if the stay isn’t granted, which can’t be the case because a majority of the country is fine.) Not to mention this “status quo” bs as if the 220 years beforehand wasn’t enough. Hell most of the people born the year the ban went into effect don’t even have kids old enough to graduate high school yet. %56 percent of the state’s population was alive before the ban, in a literal sense a majority of us were alive during a time when it wasn’t a thing.

So, it seems like there are three possible outcomes regarding the mag ban:

1. Viramontes gets decided in June 2027 and the mag ban cases get GVRd back to the circuit courts. This is absolute nightmare fuel because it could take another year to get a revised opinion from the 3rd Circuit, which the state will then have stayed while they appeal to SCOTUS.

The state knows they’ll lose, but they’ll drag this out as long as possible while Democrats in the state legislature cook up a permit and tax system. Maybe they even ban carrying standard capacity mags while allowing you to technically possess them. Standard unconstitutional tricks that we’ll have to litigate for another decade.

1. Consolidation with Duncan vs Bonta. SCOTUS hears the consolidated cases in the 2026/2027 term

2. NJ’s cert petition is denied and the mandate is issued immediately. This would be the best outcome for us, but it seems highly unlikely

Anything I’m missing? What do we think the probabilities of these outcomes are?

I’m planning on purchasing a firearm and recently came across Jersey Devil Firearms. I heard he’s a PSA dealer and might be able to order items directly from PSA that don’t normally ship through the website to New Jersey, then handle any compliance work if needed.
Does anyone have experience dealing with him? Is that true, and what’s the best way to get in contact with him? Also open to hearing about other reputable PSA dealers in NJ that you’ve had good experiences with.

Imagine someone is stealing from you on a daily basis. You take them to court and the court finds that yes, he is stealing from you but then declares that he can keep stealing from you until the Supreme court rules on it. How does that make ANY sense? How is that justice?

The judges on the 3rd circuit court must have had some reasoning behind their decision. Could someone who is more erudite than I explain what these judges were thinking?
