Hi there. Thank you all for coming and participating so actively. It's always the students who make the class, so thank YOU. Also, give a shout to the backstage team of Angela and John for moving everyone through the photos, prints, certificates and notary work. The permits will take between 60-90 days to arrive, UT usually comes before FL. While you're waiting, get to the range and practice, and think about the other things Cameron mentioned regarding ccw: clothes, holster, firearm and so on Thanks again all of you, it was a pleasure. G

Thank YOU, for taking the class, and being involved with firearms and shooting in New Jersey. Don't forget to check here: http://www.gappnj.com for all of our NRA, non-NRA, CCW and other classes. best, G

THANK you to all 24 of our UT/FL CCW participants at today's class. It's great when the class is committed and informed, and willing to immerse themselves in the topic, as you were. The range portion was spoiled a little by bad weather, but everyone was attentive, safe and on target. For those of you who missed it, the next class is June 9th at Buckeye and you can find out more and sign up directly, here: http://www.gappnj.com/upcoming_courses/utfl_ccw Someone asked about our Intermediate Pistol course - it includes some advanced gun handling techniques and focuses a little more on marksmanship than the very basic training the CCW permit class offers; you can find out more and sign up directly, here: http://www.gappnj.com/upcoming_courses/intermediate_pistol For those of you who are ready to move on to gun-handling skills and techniques required to draw and fire using a holster and a concealment garment, then you may wish to look at our CCW-I and CCW-II courses; you can find out more and sign up directly, here: http://www.gappnj.com/upcoming_courses/concealed_carry Alternatively, if you wish to take things a little more slowly, and to go into some of the basics in depth, then our NRA "Basic Pistol" course would be ideal. The next course is June 9th also (at Fort Dix), and you can find out more and sign up directly, here: http://www.gappnj.com/nra_basic_courses/basic_pistol we'll be following this with NRA Basic Shotgun, on June 30th, and you can find out more and sign up directly, here: http://www.gappnj.com/nra_basic_courses/basic_shotgun Thank you all again, for being a great class and for being involved in shooting in New Jersey. See you on the range! G

^^ Thank you!! For pointing that out and correcting it. I have edited the post to provide the correct link. We completed our May 4th class and, even though there were some pretty heavy mortars being fired nearby, which shook the class sometimes, everyone graduated happy and with high scores. The next class is June 9th, and everyone is welcome. We accept minor children (minimum age, 10) also, so it can be a great family day too.

NRA Basic Pistol - a comprehensive foundation to pistol shooting in all action types. The class describes the "Knowledge, Skills and Attitude" that forms the foundation for using handguns in a safe and enjoyable way, for recreational purposes. It allows those taking the class to understand, handle, and fire revolvers and semi-automatic pistols of a variety of calibers. The class covers the fundamentals of marksmanship, how ammunition works, firearm safety and safe gun handling, how to clean and store firearms, and discusses a variety of avenues for skill development and ideas for gun-related sports. This class also forms the foundation for more advanced, self-defense orientated NRA courses, such as Personal Protection in, and outside, the home, and provides the participant with a Nationally-recognised qualification, that can be used to support applications for Concealed carry permits from several states, including Florida, Virginia, Connecticut and Arizona. The next classes we are running are on Saturday May 4th, and Sunday June 9th, at fort Dix, running 08.30 - 17.00. You can learn more about them, and sign up directly, here: http://www.gappnj.com/nra_basic_courses/basic_pistol We provide everything needed: firearms, ammunition, coffee, snacks, lunch, and all training materials, diagnostic test and certificate of training. All you need to bring is a willingness to learn and participate. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. See you on the range! G

Hi. I am a training counsellor. There are two parts to a first instructor certification: Basic Instructor Training and Discipline (eg Pistol). NRA recommends a minimum of four people in a class, preferably six. BIT takes a day, pretty much Discipline takes one and a half days pretty much, covering class and range time, and exam. There is a prerequisite to shoot to a certain (not onerous) standard, and usually this would be completed before beginning the Discipline part. Please let me know if these brief comments answer your questions. Thanks G

...and in a more serious note, the range is over engineered and very customer friendly. There are many details you'll not be aware of that will smooth your experience no matter what membership level you choose. This range is going to be safe, quiet and successful. It will engender a sense of community. It is a wonderful job and we are lucky to have people with the vision to build it, here in NJ. G

It is First Class. Really really good. Go. Join. Spend. Shoot. Be happy.

THANK YOU for that, it's great when people have a good time. Glad you made it! Grant Ps. The "back room boys" - Angela and John - do the real work....

Hi there and thanks for the question. Sorry, no, the cost doesn't include the fee to the states, but does include absolutely everything else. Regarding the UT only question, you should send that by email to: [email protected] Thanks again and I hope to see you in the class Very best Grant

Hi John. Yes that is true. UT and VA are however valid in PA, if you are an NJ resident. How may we help? We are next running courses for UT and FL in April and May. You can find out more and sign up directly, here: http://www.gappnj.com/upcoming_courses/utfl_ccw Best, G

I agree. These two guys are the real deal. Now that you've gotten UP1 underyour belt, if you think you have the nerve for it - take the SIMS classes...... G

March 23/24 Ever wanted a short program to introduce your partner, spouse or older child to your firearms? Try these...... http://t.co/YfXBRkS49i … …

Do people know that many universities offer full scholarships for shooting?

WE are panicking when we should be planning, and posting our thoughts openly here where the opposition can read them. Stop. G
