And no need to have ANY answer for the "Justifiable Need" section.  It has been officially dropped and all Police Chiefs should have been notified.

2 full days? 

Gun for hire will have something waaay shorter, not sure the length yet, but probably a few hours or less. 

 

There is a running ccw thread in the general forum. 

"Until we see statutes, we don't know what we'll be fighting." - Dan Schmutter, Esq.

The Gun For Hire Radio Broadcast: Episode 579 - Best Gun Range NYC and NJ Area | Gun Range Near Me

Pretty sure gun for hire and rtsp will offer much shorter and less expensive alternatives. Visit their sites

Gun for hire is in woodlawn park and rtsp is in union and randolph

IMO, Anthony @gunforhire has setup a great webpage that has links to all the forms you need to use and he's setup time slots for people to sign up for their the Qualification - https://gunforhire.com/nj-ccw-permit/

The website lists the qualification as $150 (+ $50 for each additional gun).

Looks like a one stop shop for CCW needs.

Can someone explain what the timing limits are for the quals?  I know it’s 50 rounds broken down at various distances, but what is the timing requirement in total or per distance?

The qualification requirements for obtaining a carry permit in New Jersey are the same as the FBI in-service qualification HQC-1 using the FBI Q type target. It is broken down into 8 segments 25 yd, 15, 10, 7, 5 and 1. In all segments you are required to draw from concealed, fire and hit the target. Positions are standing, kneeling, and ready. There is one segment where you must shoot with your "off hand" another where you must do a quick magazine reload.  Time of each segment varies from 2 to 30 seconds as fast shooting. You will fire 60 rds and be required to hit the target 48 times or more to pass the qualification test. Most ranges will NOT allow you to draw and fire a loaded gun from a  holster so this must be looked at. You can only qualify with the pistol that you intend to carry. Not easy right now as the requirements for NJ carry are identical for FBI agents and law enforcement..

That's not the qualification at GFH.  From their website:

 

Qualification Course:
In the range you will demonstrate familiarity of safe handling of firearms. Upon successful completion you will be given a certificate to submit with your application. All of our instructors are PTC, NRA and LE certified. Gun For Hire has been qualifying security, private carry and retired police since 1992. 

This is not a beginner course! You will be required to demonstrate safety, familiarity, and accuracy. It is pass or fail.
– No holster needed
– All shooting from the ready position
– 50 rounds per firearm
– FBI Q target
– 24 rounds at 7 yards
– 14 rounds at 10 yards
– 6 rounds at 15 yards
– 6 rounds at 25 yards
For a total of 50 rounds. Must hit at least 40 rounds out of 50 (80%)

Thats what i saw as well. I was going to ask where he got his info from about course of fire

The CoF for qualifying is not specified anywhere. It appears to be up to the instructor running the qual to decide what he/she wants in order to be satisfied that you are competent and safe.

Many people are leaning towards the HQC1, HQC2 & HNQC as there is little scope for the authorities to argue with the validity as that is what RPOs qualify doing.

I would hope they set up something different for qualifying with a revolver.  24 shots at 7 yards under time constraints would be pretty difficult if you have to reload a J frame 5 times.

Call GFH. The website asks that you bring at least 3 speed loaders for revolver. That implies there's no time constraint.

IMO the FBI/Police quals being referenced are not necessary.

Scheduled for my CCW qualification course next Wednesday morning.  Ironic that after waiting 50 yrs. for the laws to change I get it 2 days after Independence Day.

I wonder if hollow points will be able to be carried?   Also.  Since nj considers an air pistol a firearm.   Can you carry that if you qual with it.  Just wondering

Latest GFH podcast opines (Bach? Nappen? He didn’t say) it’s still no. Stick with critical defense/pow’r’ball etc
