Are you willing to meet at FFL in Westchester County?

Today I visited a shooting range for the first time. I usually shoot closer to my home but I felt a little adventurous today. As a first time shooter in that range, I went through the typical "paperwork" process before I was allowed to shoot. On my way out, I was handed a survey that asked me...

Ahh okay. My hopes were broken at that point! Lol

@Calculon damn they took over 2 months to request new prints? That seems like an extremely long time.

You can see the fear in the old mans face as soon as he brings the bag up to "cover" himself. Shits fucked up. I may have no problem giving an ass beating to someone who deserves it but never to an innocent person, specially an elder.

Thank you, will do. :cowboy2:

Lol thanks and AGREED!

@Celt it didnt specify, but I figure Sportsman because thats what I applied for. It just says " Your pistol permit application was approved and is now ready for you to pick up." The. It goes on about two $10 fees. I was under the impression that I was supposed to receive a letter from the...

I had my fingerprint appointment on February 14th and today I received the letter saying my permit was approved! Monday I will go pick up my permit.

I hope so. I will update on here.

That's awesome. I thought they were good since I didn't hear from them in over two weeks. This probably means that they probably have to start the process over when this set of prints reaches them huh? I paid $26 for my prints in a NYC precinct by my job and I guess they weren't good enough. I...

Another epic case of CT non resident fingerprints. Today I received the envelope with the "fingerprints rejected" BS. This time they sent two fingerprint cards. I swear they do this shit on purpose. If they know that they fuck around with peoples fingerprints so much why dont they send two...

I went to Blueline yesterday and they had something similar. If I remember right it was about $1200.

Yeah I've decided that im going to build. I've been looking into all of the links and info that the guys have shared with me. Now im just working on figuring out what I need to order. Theres still some things im unclear about but I will keep with the research!

Thanks for that, Dan. I will consider it since I am definetly going with a Thordsen stock.

Holy crap lol. I knew asking was going to be my best choice. Thanks alot for the knowledge and support guys. I will take all of this and try to narrow my options down. Im even more exited now lol

Thanks alot @kev74 !

Any recommendations on where to look instead? I feel like im looking in the wrong places lol

Nice AR. Too bad I cant come close to the asking price, although its a great deal with the scope mags, etc.

I appreciate it, Gunsick. I actually have been to a couple of stores in my area and they have not been less than $1100, online also. That gave me the impression that this was a good deal lol. Just wondering, how come you say prices are coming down? I have no problem in waiting! Lol

Im looking into buying my first AR. Although Ive done some shopping around, I keep going back to the Dark Storm Industrie's DS-15 (featureless). Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with the gun or manufacturer? Any other recommendations would be great also. Heres the link: Dark Storm...

I am in a similar situation. My wife is now getting pretty friendly with target shooting so I went out and bout a Remington 597. After replacing the extractor it shoots without any problems at all. Although not bolt action, I think it may be a good starter rifle for a lady. Atleast for mine it...

CCI is also my first choice. Although I have been thinking about trying out some Aguila rounds. @ArmedCorgi nice shooting, do you mind me asking what range you shoot at? My local range doesnt have 25 yards.

Seems like South Carolina may be the next state to implement constitutional carry. Hopefully it pulls through and more and more states do the same. Link: S.C. House backs plan for carrying firearms without permits

LOL! for sure. I did catch myself staring at them for quite too long.

@ArmedCorgi lol I agree! Im surprised at the price of the scope, It looks way more expensive that. I will do some more research and put some more rounds in the 597 and see what improvements I can make. @nortatoga thanks alot man! Seems like you just gave me my first source to start my research! Lol

Thanks, it's pretty basic. I will hopefully make it better within some time. I actually caught a package deal at Dick's sporting goods. It was $229, as you see it. I called a few of them and they were out of stock, until I called the one in Palisades mall and they said they had one left! When I...

My set up is not as awesome as you guys, but I did change the extractor. I took it to the range today and it worked flawlessly. Anything else you guys would change to improve performance on it? Aside from those awesome scopes.Lol

Love the wood bro. Wood is one of my favorite things, I used to work in capentry, so I really got into it. I've been thinking about getting a gun with a nice woodgrain, but I'm still unsure about which one it should be lol.

Dude, that scope with the short barrel looks dope as hell. Is it a 22 Magnum?

Yeah Yeah I agree. They are not made of good, long lasting material. Everytime I handle them, I feel like its a toy lol

Good to know. I got mine about a month ago and ive only been to the range once. I mostly sighted it in but holy shit does it malfunction. It got a little annoying to shoot. Im going to change the extractor now. Now im exited! Lol

Much appreciated! I actually ordered it too lol. Its sitting in my desk. I might change it tonight so I can take it to the range again on sunday. Have you changed yours? Did it really make a difference?

I work in manhattan and I went to the local NYPD precinct and got them done for 26 bucks (cards not included) lol. They will do two cards for the $26, but of course CT only sent me one card. When my AZ paperwork arrived they included two cards. Got the prints done, and next thing I knew, my...

Will Do. I will get them done where I got my prints for my AZ permit. They didn't seem to have any issue with them. I will ask them if they have an extra fingerprint card that I can buy so that I can send both of them in.

Ahhh.. Okay, Got it. I was confused whether that was for a "local" CT permit or not. Thanks alot man!

I am in need of advice. I finally got the CT application packet in the mail and I have a couple of questions. For form DPS-46-C (small white card) its asking for "Reason for Permit", should I put All lawful purposes or should I get more specific? Also, next to that, it says "Local Permit...

May I ask, In what aspect? I seems that CC is uncommon there? I only ask, I have no knowledge in this subject.

That's terrible. But good to know. Thanks guys

I actually did not know that. There go my hopes lol. So theres no carrying in Jersey unless you're a reaident huh?

Has anyone been successful in getting a NJ non resident permit? On their website it seems that they are pretty specific with only giving out of state permits to people who are required by "work" to carry.

Not surprised... PLEASE remind me why some people love this state? lol Thanks dude.

Yeah, I can confirm. I took the course last Saturday and it included life fire.

I recently bought a Remington 597 .22 LR. It is my first rifle, I've only owned shotguns prior to this purchase. It comes with a stock 10 round mag, but I have seen some 30 round mags that can be purchased for this rifle. The question is, is the NY 10 round mag restrictions only for handguns or...

Congrats dude! How long did it take?

Thank you sir! Have fun as well. Seems like Saturday is a big day! Lol

Update: So I made a few calls to different instructors and none of them accept the basic pistol course (without life fire) that I did for my the NY permit. I had no choice but to do the classroom part online and register for the live fire class in CT for this Saturday. Also, I called to get...

Yeah, that's what I had understood. I already did the basic pistol course "classroom" part. I am going to call some places in CT and find out if I can finish it up there with the live fire. I alot of places in Westchester were charging anywhere from $125 to $150 for the basic training course...

Do you have any recommendations on where to take the Course in CT?

Ok cool. I have an AZ non resident, but I dont think that it exceeds CT requirements. I think im going to have to wait for my NY permit to apply. I may give a call tomorrow and see if they can clarify. I will also ask about the UT and FL permits. Thanks guys.
