So was reading that Press of AC article... and am not at all surprised... https://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/press/atlantic/gun-range-opens-in-absecon-with-focus-on-education/article_f3f401d3-4e16-51f9-a8af-4853014a8544.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=user-share&fbclid=IwAR3gL3WKp_AModNktIzjnAisK0tYPF777eSaSCPb4H2xHwIfjOsAdZbPbzI Another range opened by a business guy, and NOT a gun guy?

Via their facebook account where they are quite active. And have not. Next step will be a call... although I have this really good idea for a drop by visit... but alas they are hella far.

No. People don't like the range because they force you to let them search YOUR BAG before letting you go on. This is not checking out your guns that you have out of your bag, etc. I feel anything you have out in public is fair game.. i.e. you are shooting in a port. But going through all the content in a shooter's bag? What if you have medical supplies in there or a female shooter with her needs. Do you need to show that? It's a massive invasion of privacy.

If you tapped out your Federal rebate but want more ammo, here is a really good deal. $7.99 a box with free shipping on 20+ boxes. No rebates to mess with. Link Expires 12/3 at 12PM

Why...am...I...not...surprise!

By last accounts the number of gun owners in NJ was actually closer to 1.25 or 1.5 million. Granted the vast majority of those are likely folks who bought or inhereted a gun and are not active shooters. Active shooters and i.e. folks who would make up forum members? I would say 250k. As far as here, we have about 9k registered members. Of those... (based on google analytics data), we have about 1200 users who visit the site daily, and about 40k users who visit the forum at least once a month. (Keep in mind, we do have a regional reach and the forum attracts a good amount of traffic from the broader United States for research articles, etc... but yeah, about 40k users visited the forum "regularly".

Possibly? I think the simplest for the community, whomever takes the money or organizes this, just issue tickets and record the video or live drawing, or make it at an event or at a place where we present the cash.

Sure... how about 3 years of NJGF Premier membership and will gather up some goodies I have from Shot Show... Signed memorabilia, etc.

where do you find pmags for $8? Most places I see online are $12. They do have another deal for more ammo, no rebate... http://bit.ly/2FMOOoI

$369 for a complete rifle... nuts.

This.

pinned.

For anyone NOT in NJ or has the ability to ship to outside NJ. This is a REALLY good deal on AMMO + MAGS. Perhaps ship to an FFL? One day only, expiring tomorrow at Noon. $159.99 for 10 PMAGS and 300 rounds, or 20 boxes of 223. Add in $20 MIR. If you value PMAGS at $10 each, this means ammo is around $2.66 per box AR. Let me know if you need an out of state address, am across the border. =) Link To Deal For those in NJ, I am inquiring with PSA about doing a deal like this with 10 round mags.

Looks like only the green is on sale. The other colors are $45+

Just shared a link to this discussion here to get their comment and to see what can be done. Want them to give their view point, but more importantly figure out whether they will stick to this or not.

I have reached out to the range and hoping to hear from them soon.

Why? If it is a public range they can already do that by standing behind you and counting shots. In reality, pistol mags would be tough to check and I think would waste more time. For rifle mags however, there is more risk to the range. So it is okay if I come to an NJ range with a 100 round AR drum, or 100 or 60 round surefire mags? Even if they are blocked to 10/15... would only attract more attention. From the range owner standpoint... all it would take is for one anti gunner to go in and take a picture of you shooting your blocked 30 rounders and state... "Here is a picture of this range which allows people to shoot their assault rifles with high capacity clips." It attracts too much attention and carries too much risk for a range. Besides, if the range is responsible for safety of others, the RO's and the ranges are within full rights to ask you what you are shooting. Don't like, don't shoot there. Only way you are not going to get questions is if you shoot at your own range or your own property. At a private club, say OB, or CJ... you would still raise questions. Are they going to go through your bags? No.... but if you are "in my house" and have something that is not normal... would absolutely be checking it out. Keep in mind, MOST regular gun owners at a range are not shooting blocked 15/30, they are shooting blocked 15/20 or smaller chopped mags. It's like this... you can drive around in a red Ferrari with "Fuk Da Police" sticker on the back... you should expect to get pulled over. If you are shooting at any type of public range, expect attention.

Ray Ray, The safety video is required by insurance carriers and I have zero issues with it for public ranges, you do it once and that's it. Even here in PA they have them, but get this... some ranges even charge a "one time fee" for the safety video. Rental and ID is once again insurance and I don't see issues with it. Ammunition regulations I understand but don't agree with. (in the case of reloaded ammo). If a round go kaboom, only the shooter is likely to get seriously hurt. steel core bullets however I do understand as it does hurt the backstop and damages it prematurely. The bag inspections however are completely over the line.

I actually don't have an issue with them purely asking if your mags are blocked or not. It is after all their range and don't believe that common question should be the sole reason to avoid the range. "Is the mag blocked?" "Yes" Have a nice day. At Range 14 they actually took one of my mags and inspected it. . In the case of going through my range bag, that is a whole other story.

"Another?" Who else does this?

Humn, I believe with unsafe driving you are limited to two, after which there is a surcharge? Get copy of abstract and call insurance company to figure out why they jacked it up. Maybe just a mistake?

Did you have previous "unsafe driving" violations? Was this an NJ surcharge? Get a copy of your driving abstract.

WTH? When did they do this? Did they go through it or did you have to show them? That is completely ridiculous.

With our next forum update in the next week or two, will have better tools to accomplish just that!
