Hello! (moving from NJ to Pittsburgh)

**TooBigToFit** · August 31st, 2014, 10:34 AM

Hey there, just figured I'd stop in and say hello.

Moving to Pittsburgh for work. Been living in a hotel for a little bit, but I'll be in an apartment in about 2 weeks.

Already enjoying it so far. Everyone's a whole lot friendlier (I really noticed it when I called an auto dealership back home for some help). Of course, I do miss my friends and family, dog, and pork roll (not Taylor Ham, for you North Jersey people).

I did have a few questions, if you guys don't mind.

Any recommendations for a good FFL/shop? I think the closest one to me is Island Firearms on Neville Island. Haven't stopped in yet (though I did drive past), but the reviews seem to be pretty positive.

Would anyone happen to know anywhere I can get fitted for a shotgun in the area? I was planning on custom ordering an Ithaca 37, and figured I'd get the stock to fit me (short person = short arms), though I have a rough idea of my LOP.

Finally, is the DMV in PA as miserable as it is in NJ? Would it be suicidal to drop by one to ask a few questions about titling/registration?

Anyways, thanks for stopping by. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you guys soon enough.

Our DMV centers are very much just licensing centers, I believe you can handle registration at a notary as they handle title transfers and such.

Otherwise - http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/

You forgot the most important part. To move here he cannot vote for the same kind of politicians that turned NJ into a shithole.

Yea... But he gave up pork roll, egg, and cheese to do so... that takes a big man with a huge heart.

Wayne is good people.
Unless something has changed he'll treat you fairly. IMO.

Welcome to the forum & the area.

Forgot to mention this huh? I'll be in the Ohio Township area.

As far as food goes, I had to try Primanti Brothers, as a Rutgers alumnus (our whole "throw everything you can between 2 slices of bread" thing was called the Fat Sandwich). Honestly, I have to admit it tasted better than a fat sandwich. Then again, I was told that Fat Sandwiches taste better when you're drunk than when you're sober. Not that I would know because...

... Asian genetics apparently mean that I'm absolutely terrible at handling alcohol. So I'm not sure if I would be able to take advantage of suggestions on where to drink.
