Wooo! My firearms purchasers card finally cleared!
On top of that I have some money coming back from my taxes, so I can finally get my own guns! I'm probably just gonna get a Remington 870 (as I already have the slug barrel and Nikon scope I used with my friend's 870 this season, but I might have enough money to get an inexpensive .17 as well!:D:D:D

RE: Wooo! My firearms purchasers card finally cleared!
You won't be disappointed with an 870. Best 240ish bucks I've ever put into hunting.
|
RE: Wooo! My firearms purchasers card finally cleared!
240ish? The base gun should cost less than that if I'm lucky, but I already put $400 into a slug barrel and a good scope. Oh well, at least I got a 2x-7x scope so I can swap it over to a rifle, if and when I get one.

RE: Wooo! My firearms purchasers card finally cleared!
Come on guys, he's from the People's Republic of NJ, here everything costs more. In all honesty you should be able to get a 870 for under $300.
|
RE: Wooo! My firearms purchasers card finally cleared!
I'm gonna try and find something on gunbroker or auctionarms for a reasonable price, as I don't know of any local stores that carry firearms at a reasonable price or that have a good selection. Then again, for a basic 870 I might be able to get a deal at Dick's.

Take a look at the used racks. You can also purchase guns at Walmart's in NY or PA. For what you would have to pay to purchase from one of the websites with shipping and additional fees it's not worth it. I have heard many horror stories about people getting screwed when purchasing from the auction sites. If at all possible handle the gun before you buy. You mentioned you just got your fid card, so I imagine your probably going to school in Princeton and originally from the Rochester area.I forget the name of the army navy store on rt 130 which is about 20 minutes from Princeton. They usually have a pretty decent selection.

What is a firearm purchasers card? Somehow I thought the constitution took care of that.
|
RE: Wooo! My firearms purchasers card finally cleared!
Yeah, I've never heard of such.
Are the laws that restrictive in NJ? |
RE: Wooo! My firearms purchasers card finally cleared!
Law in NJ are that restrictive. I live in the Tri-State area (PA, DE, NJ) and i can buy guns in PA and DE but not in NJ because i dont have one of there cards to buy them. I dont understand the whole card thing because they have to call for a background check anyways but ohh well.

What is a firearm purchasers card? Somehow I thought the constitution took care of that. You have the right to keep and bear arms but only with our permission and only if you abide by our restrictions. Do you think that crap would fly if the same thing were to happen to first ammendment? Hell no!!!!!!!! The media wouldn'd stand for it. |
RE: Wooo! My firearms purchasers card finally cleared!
I was wondering the same thing when I saw this post last nite. That is a bunch of BS if you ask me.
The people that screw things up for us law-abiding citizens are still getting guns without cards is the sad part. |

It's the same way with all states though. A concealed carry permit is unconstitutional also. Vermont is the only state I know of that doesn't infringe on your 2nd ammendment rights. |

RE: Wooo! My firearms purchasers card finally cleared!
Wow, they must have changed things since I got my fid back in 01. I used two active duty military members as my references, both outside of NJ, only had to do one set of prints for the background check for NJSP at a cost of $45 and oh yeh, had the card back in three weeks. It really depends on the pd in your town as to how long they sit on it and what they charge. Not a word said about the 5 pistol purchase permits that were applied for at the same time.
