Very off topic but i live in New Jersey and i figured i would have to get SOMETHING accomplished today, so i've been meaning to go to the police station to file for a firearms ID card and to get a Pistol Permit. Now the wait begins for that to be approved.

Anyone into guns in here? Any ideas for a good first handgun? I've been shooting with my girlfriends dad and i got hooked so since then i've shot a plethera of handguns multiple .22s .45s and 9s, haven't shot any other hand guns but have also had my eye out on posibly getting an assault rifle, really liking the AR15 or M4 style rifles with pistol grips, have shot a few as well and they are damn nice. Any ideas?

I can't imagine starting anywhere other than 1911.

I've been away all morning. What's the celebration about?

Many people getting calls and txts from their locals stores (Best Buy, Costco, Radioshack, VZW stores, etc.) confirming the 15th as release day. Also, a document from Costco giving the 15th as well. The 15th is essentially all over the place at this point. However, there are still many VZW stores claiming it's not coming this week and that they would have heard by now if it was. One CSR even offering to buy a customer the phone for him if it does show up this week. All in all, Verizon has said nothing official, so all this means nothing.

Just stopped by my local VZW store and spoke to the manager and he told me that he has them in stock but cannot sell them till the 15th. He asked for my name and number so I could be put on the waiting list, I asked how long the waiting list was and he said your the first person. I asked when was the earliest I could pick it up on the 15th and he said as soon as they open. This store is in NW Houston if anyone is interested. Can't wait any longer....

OT Guns:
YMMV
I'm not sure what the laws are in your area, but Florida has very gun friendly laws. If this is a concealed weapons permit you are looking into I would highly suggest the Walther PPS 40Cal. This is a well made handgun with a one inch profile. If you are looking for something to take deer/pig/bear/etc... hunting as a side arm I would stick with a 45 or better. Target shooting, stick with a .22 or .25 as you will burn through a lot of ammo and it isn't cheap. It will all depend on your local laws, what you want to do with your sidearm and what you want to spend.

I've personally got no need for an assault rifle.. .give me a 30.06 and a scope and I'm a happy hunter. A friend of mine loves (collects) Sig Sauer rifles.

I just talked to the manager of the store that had the rude CSR. No discussion of the rude CSR, pure Nexus talk. She said she had no idea when or if they were launching the phone. She said they had stock after I let her know that I had saw and held one at Radio Shack and that I would be buying from RS because of the lack of help ALL, not just her store, but ALL of the Verizon stores have been. I also informed her that Verizon had not only lost potential revenue at their stores but also subscribers over this fiasco. She didn't seem to care.

Like I said, sounds like management.

She doesn't care. She doesn't get a bonus if Verizon gains a few million more subscribers. It's just a job.

You know how many times a week they hear that? They don't care. 90% its BS anyway and the rest of the time it isn't impacting their paychecks so no worries to them.
