The process is pretty painless, it just takes a few months and goes like this: attend a meeting and get an application, get signatures of two members (w/yellow badges), attend two range safety courses (offered quarterly, next one is in April), pay dues, hand in copy of NRA/FID cards. The signatures should be relatively easy to come by if you show up to a meeting early and mingle. Or I'm sure someone's signature could be bought for a few bucks Check out their site and let us know if you plan on coming/joining. http://www.crrc.org/membership.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I was finishing my application and went on the CCRC website and saw this on the front page: 'Next CRRC Regular Meeting: Wednesday, March 5, 2014, 7:00 PM. This meeting begins early because the Annual Swap starts right after the meeting adjourns.' Wanted to let you know for those of us who need to get there early to get signatures, I'm guessing we need to be there around 6:30? I don't know what the annual swap is but it sounds cool!

One step closer!

I couldn't tell if that guy was upset or indifferent about that, he was so monotonous. I think between us we all know who each other are so we should meet up Tuesday night.

Anyone hear anything from them? I haven't but still plan on attending today

Never mind, used Firefox instead of internet explorer and it went right through. Thanks for the heads up!

Everytime I click submit order it takes me back to the home page. Do I have to create an account first?

Seems like a cool group of people (I stopped by in October when they had their family fun shoot), but I'm not sure the interwebs/email is their strength. If anyone hears anything from them and can let us know here that would be awesome. Otherwise I'm with you all, I'll show up Saturday for the safety training course and see if I can get my membership rolling. What's the worst that can happen? I doubt they'll tell us to go home, but you never know. The cancellation of the meeting was shown on their website (http://www.crrc.org/crrc.htm), so I'll keep an eye on that too and see if they update it.

Great, thanks. How long have you been a member there?

Cool, let us know what you find out. It's better that we find out here than bombarding their email to get the same answer. Either way it'll work out, just bummed out about tonight.

Really? I was so excited to go tonight and get things going for myself too. Are they going to reschedule or is it off until next month? Can I still attend the safety orientation on Saturday or do I have to wait until the next one in 3 months? That would stink if we have to wait another 3 months to join

I can't imagine it would've lasted for that long. It was a steal

I bought my MP22 from Steve, and I ordered an XDM 9mm from him that I'll pick up after 30 days, he's a good dude. My wife got her FID and P2P at the same time I did, so her permit is expiring and I just wanted to get something with it. I figured a decently priced used gun would do, so I'm going to head over to Cheyenne Mountain one night this week. I'm planning on joining Citizens too. Have you gone through any of the process yet or are you starting with the meeting in a few weeks? I'll be there and then sign up for the safety course and everything, I don't like the 5 round in a mag rule but since it's only a few minutes down the road I don't think you can go wrong.

That's not bad, but it's still about an hour each way, which is tought to fit into my schedule right now unfortunately... I was going to try to go down there tomorrow though, my wife has a P2P that's going to expire in a few days and someone on the forum said there was a used range gun for sale there that was a pretty good deal. I'd rather buy something than let a permit expire, we'll see if I can talk her into it

Anyone jump on this yet? I don't want to try to steal anyone's plunder... But the wife has a P2P that expires in 3 days and this might be a good thing to burn it on

Awesome! I'm glad you guys have such positive feedback. I really can't imagine what it would be like having a range literally down the street from me, I'm going to go broke shooting... Guess I better look into a reloading press. I plan on attending the meeting the first Wednesday of next month and if time allows it getting a tour from Happycamper, I'm way too excited for this

The Ruger is great, it's a good size even in my big hands and it works for my wife too. The M&P I haven't gotten an oppurtunity to shoot yet, only clean real good. I wanted to go to the range but I'm also trying to join Citizens Rifle and Revolver Club near my house soon, so compromise with my wife is making me hold off on going to a range until I join up somewhere

I'm actually right on the border of East Windsor and Cranbury, the dividing line is in my back yard. So half the time I'm from Cranbury and the other half I'm from East Windsor. My mailing address is Cranbury but I get my P2P's from East Windsor, super friendly pro-2A guys over there

Awesome, thanks for the input guys. I was thinking about either CRRC or CJRPC, but I can't justify the 600 dollar initiation fee and 300+ a year for CJ, even if it is the best range ever. With the distance I wouldn't get there much, maybe once a month so I think Citizen's will suit my needs fine. I'm relatively new to shooting and only own a couple 22 pistols and rifles right now, and one inherited 20 gauge shotgun with the hopes of stepping up to a 9mm and 45 when I can buy a handgun again in 25 days, no high powered rifles in the forseeable future. I'm pretty sure CRRC will be beneficial since it's so close I'll be able to get over there once or twice a week (and with it being 24 hours if I ever get the urge in the middle of the night...) and get some good practise time in. The 5 rounds at a time rule seems strange to me and I might spend some more time loading, but the fact that I'll save 1.5 hours driving every time I go to the range makes up for that. Happycamper I'd love to come check it out sometime, this weekend is shot for me but I'll PM you and maybe next weekend we can hook up. It works out that I'm ready to commit soon and they're having all their safety courses the beginning of next month, maybe I'll be a member before I know it!

Hi guys. What an awesome site, I've been creeping for a while now and have learned a lot from reading through all your posts. I just got my FID card in October after inheriting an old H&R revolver and Mossberg select a choke 20 gauge from my grand pops. Then, since I had a P2P I decided to use it and got a bi-tone Ruger SR22, had a day off of work and took my wife to Shore Shot and we both loved it and I decided it would be a swell new hobby. I got 3 more P2P's last week and bought an M&P22, ordered a Springfield XDM 9mm that I can pick up in exactly 25 days, and am eyeing up a 1911 of some sorts... I also got a Smith M&P 15-22 from Cheyenne Mountain on black Friday, I don't have much (about 250 rounds total) of experience but I'm looking forward to sending a lot more lead down range. I plan on joining a range in the next month or two and getting involved with an awesome group of people. Thanks for the site and all your informative posts!

Hi friends. New guy here, been hanging for a while but first post. I searched and read the other threads about CRRC in West Windsor/Princeton/Cranbury or whatever they consider it. This place is literally 6 minutes from my house, I've heard some of the downsides (mag limits, work hours, limited ranges, etc.) but I'm wondering if the fact that I would be able to get there a couple times a week might make it worthwhile. I've considered Ft Dix, but the outdoorsiness and operating hours plus 50 minute drive would severely limit how often I'd get to shoot. I've seen the praises CJRPC gets, but again the distance would hinder my ability to get there, and I'd have to drop a lot of pretty pennies to even get in the door, and as absolutely awesome as it seems I don't think id be able to get there more than once every month or two. So if anyone has any insight I'd love to hear it, I've bought 4 guns since I got my FID in October and I've only got to shoot for about two hours since then and I'm itching to get some time behind the trigger. Thanks.
