  Police Pistol Combat (PPC) League - Old Bridge Rifle and Pistol Club

  
  

  PUBLIC INVITED - 2nd FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH -Engaging pneumatically turning timed silhouette targets isn't something that's taught at a typical handgun class, it's a form of competition named Police Pistol Combat and it's been around for decades. Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Club holds a PPC Match once a month on the second Friday, and some Jersey gun owners that wish to carry a sidearm are getting some great practice and instruction as well as camaraderie. Many are members of the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, as are the league's co-chairmen Peter Luccarelli and CNJFO VP Dave "Rosey" Rosenthal.

  Each 60-round Course-of-Fire, known as a "Relay", takes a little over 35 minutes to shoot. Starting from 7 yards, the shooters have 20 seconds (including a magazine change) to shoot 12 rounds at a B-27 silhouette. The next stage is 6 rounds in 9 seconds at 7 yards using just your dominant (strong) hand on the B-27. The third stage is 12 rounds in 30 seconds using both hands from 15 yards distance on the B-27. The fourth stage is shot from behind simulated "cover" 25 yards away onto a "reduced B-27" which is a B-34. In 2:45 each shooter (using both hands) draws FIRST then does 6 rounds sitting, 6 rounds kneeling, 6 rounds support (weak) hand with support and then 6 rounds dominant (strong) hand with support. The final stage is 6 rounds in 12 seconds using both hands from 25 yards on the full-size B-27 silhouette.

  Barbara Holstein - Vice Chair Sussex County GOP, Women for Gun Rights delegate.

  

  I was born and raised in West Virginia my Dad worked in the coal mines and my Mom for the telephone company. I grew up with shotguns in a glass door gun cabinet in our living room - they were part of our home. My grandfather and father hunted deer and turkey, later my stepfather was also hunter, pro second amendment, and probably the first Republican I knew in my life. Guns were a part of my childhood, and I never thought to think that wasn’t normal. 

  I ran for Board of Education in 2020, won and served until 3/2024. In June of 2023, I answered a 13th hour request to run for Vice Chair of SCGOP and won and currently serve. In June 2024, I ran in a contested primary for township committee and won. I then faced a write in challenge on the November ballot by the loser of the primary, and won again thankfully a three year term. 

  Today, it seems in NJ we take one step forward and two backwards. In fact, the phrase must have originated here in NJ! However, underdogs can win. I did. I got out and went to meet voters. The protests brought people together, the rally’s and parades brought people to the road side and showed them they were not alone! 

  Early Vote Action is very simply getting out and meeting voters where they are in their daily life. It’s extending a handshake and smile and saying to them are you happy with life in NJ today? Are you registered to vote? Do you vote? Here is how to register. Here is how to change your affiliate party. Here is how to vote. Educating people is key to winning their support and saving our state and country. 
  

  On a side note - I work full time as an assistant transportation administrator for a school district in Morris County and reside in Sussex County, NJ.
