Handgun or Rifle or Shotgun?

Sorry to go off topic here but if you have any problems with getting your permit in NJ, Slings might be able to point you in the right direction:

I'll tackle this with a PM to Bats.

As for Jason's list of guns, they all look like they are green lit in NJ. Good choices too...

Just my opinion but.... If you arent really familier with firearms a rifle is a good starting point. It teaches you all of the basics. Trigger control, breathing, sight picture and the like. I see a lot of shotgun trained people trying the ole point and click method with rifles and handguns and not getting the desired results.

If you want a good cheap Rifle get an SKS

If you want a good dependable shotgun just get a 20 gauge

If you want a good handgun get a .357 and shoot .38s out of it.

If Makarovs are People's Republik of New Jersey legal, its a good start for a Handgun...

I'm sure the Makarov is fine. Handguns need their own permit for each one, but as long as they don't exceed 15 rounds in the magazine, you're fine.
