You only have the buy their anmo if you're using their rentals. Most ranges I've been to have similar rules.

I've been a full member there for almost 2 years and I love it there. It's never too crowded, the range is nice, and you can shoot almost anything. The guys that work there have been very friendly in my experience.

We have NJ law which is of course very restrictive on where we can transport to. Then we have FOPA which of course (arguably) loosens some of the restrictions. If you're using FOPA to justify being able to transport via airplane to another state then I'm not sure it would apply if you live in NJ and go to a NJ airport. I believe FOPA ends once you take possession of the firearm again ("immediately accessible" limitation of FOPA) which would happen upon arrival at the airport (and so it would never actually have taken effect). At that point all that's left is NJ law and since there's no exemption in the law for transporting to an airport (without carry permit) it's probably illegal (or at the very least a prosecutor would claim it is). I wouldn't mind being wrong here.

Fortunately I'm headed to Texas to visit a friend next month and plan to take advantage of the trip to take the CHL class as well. I also plan to get fingerprinted while I'm there. Not sure if there is an alternative to doing it there or not, but figured it might just be easier.

I second Golf Battery's points. I typically use their 100yd range and there's almost never anyone else on that one when I go. Handgun ranges get a fair amount of activity but still not too crowded when I've gone.

Unless I misheard, it also said he's shot himself in the hand before so double points off for that bad habit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I live in twp, too, and I'm a member at Hagues and SJSC. SJSC is ideal for the 50yd range you asked about. Hague's is indoor 25yd and unless you're shooting a .50 BMG your caliber is probably ok there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone!

Hey all. Longtime reader/lurker, recent joiner, and first time poster. Love the forum it's been an excellent source of information. Just a little background: Have a couple of Glocks, a shotgun, and an AR. Applied for Utah CCW last month and eagerly looking forward to it even if it's no use here. At least I can (and am at the moment) carry in my home. Also want to say a huge thank you to NJ2AS and any other organizations fighting for our rights here in NJ. Y'all do a wonderful thing.
