DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted May 5, 2020 You're fine. Transport the same as though you were going to/from any other range. Has your friend verified that his property is in a municipality that does NOT have a "no-discharge" law? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it shady to just call the local police and ask? I know nj cops love allowing us guns Edit: just called the state police and they said its fine. Just transport same way as to the range.

Additionally, if your friend is in Baptistown, Barbertown, Byram, Idell, Milltown, Point Breeze, Treasure Island, Tumble or Tumble Falls, the farm is in an unincorporated section, outside the city limits, and not subject to a NDF.

It's a family farm. So not being a subject to ndf means we're good correct? Ps this state sucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IANAL, but, in my personal opinion, if the farm is 450' or farther from a park, school, or playground, you are 99% GTG. https://www.kingwoodtownship.com/KT_Committee/2014/Ordinances/Kingwood_Ord 18-12-2014_Safety_Zone_(updated 10.7.14).pdf 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im reading the law as I can only drive the firearm to a place of residence, a target range, or gunsmith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im reading the law as I can only drive the firearm to a place of residence, a target range, or gunsmith Don't get yourself all worked-up trying to decipher NJ gun law as written. Instead, do yourself a favor & study the EXEMPTIONS & EXCEPTIONS for they are your FRIENDS! Some NJ gun laws are in direct conflict with others. Some make no sense whatsoever. Like having to be 18 years old to BUY a long gun but you can take it on your bicycle (I.E.: UNLOADED & cased) on hunting excursion w/o adult supervision IF you have a hunting license and you're hunting in-season. If the NJSP in Kingwood don't care (you already unzipped your fly by calling them, right?) then why keep asking questions? FWIW there's a private club I've shot at in Kingwood. So there is NOT a "No Discharge Ordinance" there! When you go to the farm, remember to stop at Speedwell Targets, just down the road from NJSP Barracks in Kingwood Cardboard, paper & steel targets. They take paper & plastic, but call ahead to make sure you don't need an appointment to tour their giant warehouse! Tell Robert that Rosey sent you! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess working on my grip and dry firing at home actually made me ok to start. I drew about a 8 inch circle and hit in it or close to it 9 out of 10 times from about 8 yards. Not great but ill get better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some retard cops think an NRA sticker or similar constitutes probable cause to scream at you and threaten you in an attempt to coerce consent to search your vehicle. BTDT. Gun in trunk unloaded.

Cheflife15 455 Posted May 6, 2020 I have to be honest, im still curious about the "Legality" of the trip. Its considered ok to shoot there and i was invited on private property. Is the transportation of the pistol 100 percent legal to do so ? Any websites to check out exemptions and exceptions? I want to be prepared, just incase.

NickySantoro 211 Posted May 6, 2020 Is it legal to shoot there? Zoning is the issue. You're fine going there. Maybe you are overthinking the issue. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FWIW my Mercury Grand Marquis (affectionately known as "The War Wagon") is held together w/ NRA, BSA, USPSA, IDPA, college, Wounded Warrior, and other stickers I've forgotten about.
