Well thanks man, I really appreciate the response. It helps a whole lot.

Hey everyone, thanks for the answers in advance! Just a few quick questions about range 14 if anyone knows. Im heading there tomorrow for the first time and needed a littlw info. Ive always shot indoors at my range (sure shot) but the last few months I got a couple old rifles and want to try them out. First i wanted to know Can I bring 3 people to shoot with me? so it would be 4 of us all together. Second, what can i bring to shoot at? Like, can i bring an old little bench to set stuff on? Also, what kind of targets do they sell there? I dont have any of my own target stands an anything of the sort Last, can i shoot a pistol and a shotgun of the rifle range there? Thanks guys, appreciate the hopeful answers. If anyone is around tomorrow and you see a guy with a garand feel free to say hi and take a shot. Take care John

that would be great. I work in Burlington county so im around there often. Whenever my nice come back ill throw you a message and your welcome to shoot it.

Hello, i just wanted see if anyone would be interested in going with me too range 14 in a couple weeks. I just bought an M1 garand yesterday and the nics should take a couple weeks. I live in Lakewood so i use sure shot for my pistols. Ive never been to range 14 and would like to go with someone to see how it works and the layout. Im also a new shooter to rifles if that matters. Thanks all John

NJ paramedic here, if I can help.

@ dsd1026 Yeah. I put in for a p2p. Just one for now because I knew I wanted to buy a pistol and shotgun and stay with them for a bit although i am very excited about it and can see myself applying for another in the near future. Good luck, I'm not sure how howell is with FID processing but hopefully quick.

Hey, thanks all. I am deffinetly joining NRA, not so much for the bumper sticker (lol) but to support. I also looked at safety class and will be attending shortly. I hope lakewood isn't too swamped, they weren't cheap and I really wanna shoot! But again thx all, I look forward to it.

Hello all, this post is probably not the most important thing you'll read today but hopefully you do anyway because I'm excited! Starting about 8 months ago I began the FID process with SSH. After months of bothering them I never received it then came the storm. So for a couple months buying a firearm was on hold. Now where I reside in lakewood I put in my papers and background check almost 6 weeks ago. Btw they are very nice and pretty quick or so I've heard. So I'm expecting them back sometime next week. Today I went to shore and purchased a glock 17 and Remington 870. I cant have them till my FID comes through but they are there and waiting. I went there a while back to rent and they were all very helpful and professional. I could have went to Lawmand or Atlantic to get a discount (medic) but I feel since I'm going to be using shore as my range I'd like to give them my business. Again they were more then helpful today and I left happy. Anyway, I'm very excited that the process I started nearly a year ago seems to be coming to an end. I'm also a very new shooter and gun owner so if anyone wants to meet up and give any pointers, it would be appreciated. Thank you

Just curious if anyone knows about the time lakewood takes to turn around an initial fid card? I'm a new resident there. Thanks all.

Not cherry, my memory aludes me. Rubber bullets.

I've been doing some research on revolvers. I've been told by a few that due to simplicity with cleaning, reloading and all around a beginner that's it's a good choice. I've handled a 1911 but have never shot one yet. When I get my permit and ID (whenever that is) can I test fire guns before I buy? Specifically ba? Thanks again everyone for the replies. Also cherry, IAFF. I don't wanna ask where you work at because that seems a bit personal but with a long shot I may know you. I'm a medic in jersey. Not around here. I also work BLS up north. Thanks again all.

@ rubber bullets. I am also off every tuesday. That would be great to meet up sometime. I keep watching videos and reading about cleaning but would like to see te actual thing. My schedule is also a bit hectic, school and work a whole lot. But I just like learning in person. Thank you all for the helpful replies

Hello everyone. First post. I finally got my fingerprins done today and now I guess it's the waiting game to get my fid. what I want to know is, is a 1911 .45 good for a first gun? I rented a 9mm glock a couple weeks ago and fully annoyed it but I want a big more bang and just really love the 1911s. Also I went to BA and the staff was incredibly nice but it was 65 $ for the rental. I really want try a 45 and see how I feel with it. Does anyone know any details about te NRA course for beginners? Does anyone maybe wanna meet up somewhere in ocean county that has experience? I want to know as much as I can regarding operating cleaning and safety before I'm an owner. Anyway. Thanks for the replies and have a good day!

Hi cherry bomb. Im new to this site and to shooting as a whole. You mentioned shore shot, i live in ocean county. I was at brick armory last week, rented a glock. Im waiting for my FID and purchasers permit to come back. But if you ever wanna shoot im down. John
