No, you techincally dont need an FID to transport firearms to and from certain specific locations, but I wouldnt count on most of the cops being informed of this. I'd rather just have the FID and avoid having to spend 1000s of bucks in court and attorney fees to prove that I was within my rights for transporting a firearm without one. Guilty until proven innocent

I had posted this on another gun forum that I belong to, figured I'd throw it in here also since this is strictly a NJ board. stopped into this place while out on my sales route today. Needed a small AR part which they actually had. Asked the guy if they had any 10rd AK mags.. he proceeded to go on a long winded rant about how WASRs that accept double stack magazines are totally illegal in NJ and that I could go to jail for owning one. His reasoning was that the WASR will "accept an Ak-47 magazine". He told me that there are new semi automatic AK type rifles from russia that will accept double stack mags that are jersey legal because the receiver is manufactured differently I explained to him that I purchased my WASR double stack, along with 2 10rd magazines from a NJ FFL dealer, that it is totally ban compliant, and I pointed to his ARs and told him that they will accept an m16 30rd magazine to which he replied "those are not AK-47s" and that "ARs cannot be converted to fully automatic fire like a double stack WASR AK-47" He then asked me if I have ever seen an AR before, and this was AFTER I had him take a detent out of the case for me, for an AR-15 I of course told him that I own an AR-15 that I built myself and I have seen the internals of various different AR-15 rifles, he showed me the sear block inside a colt lower and told me "this is why these ARs are legal here"... i was so dumbstruck by his ignorance that I simply nodded, didn't even bother trying to inform him that he was incorrect, paid for my small part and left. I will not be shopping there again, I have never encountered such stupidity at a gun shop in my life, we already have it tough enough here in NJ without clueless gun store employees (he could have been the owner for all I know) trying to tell law abiding people that they are criminals for possessing a rifle that is perfectly legal to own. Not to mention they want 100 bucks for LPKs... Does anyone else have any experiences with this shop? good? bad? I'd be curious to hear it being as I was almost kind of offended by the guy implying that I was a criminal and treating me as such..

Whats up everyone, glad to be a part of this forum. I never even realized a NJ specific firearms forum existed, I am on a few other gun related boards but will probably find myself posting here more often since we have our own unique situation in NJ when it comes to this hobby. Anyhow, I'm a college student currently residing in monmouth county and I have been shooting/collecting semi automatic rifles for a few years now. My dad is also a shooter and a collector of ww2 firearms so we tend to go shooting together. I used to go to shore shot all the time when I first started shooting until I began purchasing long guns and was not allowed to shoot them there because of the calibers so I let my membership run out since I couldnt make use of it. I went a few years without shooting because I had no place to go, can't afford CJ range and fort dix is just too much of a travel, plus I've heard that they are a bit strict there when it comes to modern semi automatic sporting rifles. I started shooting again when brick armory opened up their range because they allow me to shoot all of my rifles there and always have lanes open (when I used to go to shore shot there were often times when I'd end up going home without shooting because there was no lanes available) I browsed this forum and read a little bit about the various ranges, I see that there is a general consesus here that BA is a shady business, I have no say in this as I have only purchased one firearm there and had no issues (although it was a bit overpriced). They did try to sell me a firearm once that had a few issues, but I test fired it and was refunded my deposit with no problems at all so I can't complain about their service, plus I always enjoy my time on their range without any nervous range employees breathing down my neck and watching my every move. Although I enjoy shooting my .556, .308 and .30-06 rifles at brick, I wish I could find a range (outdoor) that was longer than 25 yards and black rifle friendly so I could really see what my firearms are capable of. In the meantime I'll have to just settle for the pistol range distances, at least the range is fairly new so its always clean, has good ventilation and its usually pretty empty not to mention I am not treated like a novice or a threat while shooting there, the range officers mind their own business as long as nothing dangerous is going on. I am glad I found this forum and I am looking forward to chatting with other NJ shooters/collectors, maybe one of these days I will find myself a good rifle range, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
