rdsmith3 19 Posted October 13, 2011 I just applied today for my FID. Unfortunately the soonest fingerprint appointment I can get is 2 weeks away. I am planning on getting a Remington 870 express for home defense -- black bears and intruders. Once I get the paperwork and the gun, where can I practice in NW NJ? I am not too far from the Black River WMA, and I know they have a range. Anywhere else? Also, are there safety classes in this area? I live near Netcong. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

this_is_nascar 162 Posted October 13, 2011 I have the Remington 870 Express Tactical. Not sure if it's the same or not. If so, you'll love that gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rifleman1 32 Posted October 13, 2011 I am not too far from the Black River WMA, and I know they have a range. To access the Black River WMA you will need to take a Hunter Safety Course and then purchase a hunting license. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/hunted.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djg0770 481 Posted October 14, 2011 2 weeks for a fingerprint appointment will likely be the shortest part of your wait. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I read that shotguns with a conspicuous pistol grip were considered to be assault weapons in NJ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted October 14, 2011 Does that have the pistol grip? I was looking at those. I thought I read that shotguns with a conspicuous pistol grip were considered to be assault weapons in NJ? Pump shotguns can have pistol grips. Semi-auto shotguns cannot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

this_is_nascar 162 Posted October 14, 2011 I thought pistol grip + folding stock on the same gun was illegal in NJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdsmith3 19 Posted October 14, 2011 as mentioned before all those restrictions only apply to semi-auto shotguns So a Mossberg JIC is legal in NJ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
