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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
