Soon(I hope) I will be getting a call from the town PD to pick up my firearms ID card for new jersey. Since I am not allowed to use a centerfire rifle in the state ,I will be picking up a Remington 870 super mag combo.(this guy don't play games)It has a 20" fully rifled slug barrel and a 26" smoothbore with full choke. my question is this, Is there a good all round shot size for anything from squirrell to turkey. if not what sizes do you reccomend.

You need a ID card to buy a shotgun?

#6 turkey load in 3 1/2 .

I would use a 22 for the squirrel but if you like pellet spitting then #5 or #6 will do.

No kidding. That's pretty lame paperwork for a shotgun. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Really- is that piece of paperwork necessary for a SHOTGUN- or is this ummmm..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> stuff that you simply done did Cuevo?

you need to have an ID for long guns and an id for handguns ...well when you fill out the app you say how many handguns you want then that id covers them. if you want more you have to get another id.this state is far worse than California in gun laws.If your wife don't want you to have guns they can call the police and have them taken away

I would rather have one gun that I can sling slugs and pop pellets than 2 different guns. I already decided to try the new slugs remington has out now.If I get my card in time there will be a big sale at a outdoor sport store in NY state that i am going to hit.

If it's the sabot loads you're referring to, those are pretty spiffy. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

"long gun" gets you comin' and goin' <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Here is the solution to stupid gun laws.


I didn't want to copy capt, besides Penske is cheaper. Move to PA, 3 day wait and $20 for a conceal license. and no need to get a permit to own any other gun (automatic weapons excluded of course) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

No permit needed for any auto weapons either. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Good choice for the HD gun. Nothing beats a shoulder fired 12 gauge.

And their trucks have always been in tip-top mechanical condition IME, whereas U-haul has been a crapshoot.

After that guy in Illinois shot that pastor in church a couple weekends ago, there was somebody on TV who coudln't seem to believe that the shooter didn't have a firearms owner ID card.

I beg to differ.... you should have seen some of the loaner trucks they gave us while our leased truck was always in for service.
