I think there are a few key points: "Any person who knowingly has in his possession any {gravity knife, etc} without any explainable lawful purpose, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree." Key point: "explainable lawful purpose" Another paragraph says "A person carrying a firearm or knife in the woods or fields or upon the waters of this State for the purpose of hunting, target practice or fishing, provided that the firearm or knife is legal and appropriate for hunting or fishing purposes in this State and he has in his possession a valid hunting license, or, with respect to fresh water fishing, a valid fishing license;" Key point: If you have a knife that it is appropriate for a lawful purpose like hunting/fishing and you are actually using it for that lawful purpose, you're fine. I think the OP's knife would not fit criteria for "appropriate for a lawful purpose". So it may be legal to own it, but I think that if it was carried outside of the home the person who is in possession of it could be charged with a crime.

Yes, go join... now... CR is an great range for outdoorsmen. Here are a couple of photos of the 300 yard range taken this past October on a Sunday afternoon. You can see how crowded it is. . . had the whole range to myself! /*tom*/

Don't own it yet. . . but have shot it and plan to own soon enough. Sako TRG-42 in Lapua .338 Magnum /*tom*/

Like sandcast, finding the time is the main issue for me. When I do go, I normally spend about a half hour, maybe 40 minutes shooting. Any more than that and my ability to stay inside the circles drops quickly... another sign of getting old. /*tom*/

Thanks Maksim. The 1000 yd range in Albany looks interesting, but someone in that post says that Cumberland is empty during the week. I plan to zero a mew rifle at Cherry Ridge sometime in the next couple of weeks and by June I hope to be on the 600 yd range at Cumberland. I guess I'll just have to make an overnight trip out of it. :-) /*tom*/

Anyone know of a 600 yard range other than Cumberland? I'm up in Bergen Co so Cumberland is just a bit farther than I think I'd be willing to travel. /*tom*/
