Hello from Guttenberg, NJ

[fumanchu182 23]

I went down to Florida this past week and had a blast, one thing I did was go to the range with my friend who is a CCW holder and owns a Glock 23C. I had one hell of a time. I even got a chance to rent a long range rifle, Remington .308 and boy was that fun to shoot. On a serious note my friend said that if you want to try this on your own, apply for a permit in NJ and see where you can go from there. So I have the applications all ready, about to get fingerprinted and then I guess it is just a waiting game. In the mean time I am about to schedule a class with Shore Shot Pistol Range for the Firearms Safety and Handling.

 

I honestly can't wait to buy my own and be able to go to the range and have fun.

Welcome to the forum.

Yes I did apply for the pistol permit at the same time. I just got off the phone with Bob from Shore Shot and he is a little under the weather right now so he won't be able to do a class till mid July. Would anyone be able to recommend a decent experience similar to Shore Shot in the Hudson county area? (Basic Firearms Safety and Handling class.)

I handed in the application for initial id and a handgun permit this morning. I am off to fingerprinting July 9th in Paramus. Till then I guess I will just have to take the safety course and rent. Thank you for the welcome(s)!
