Can't seem to find an answer to this on the website, so was hoping someone here might know: If you're signing up for a family membership, does the wife have to be there for the safety briefing and all that? Or would I just have to put her name down, and that's it? Does she get her own membership pass?

 

Thanks

 

ETA: Also, if we're both there on the same day, can we both sign a different guest in? Or is it only one guest per membership?

I believe she'd have to go through the indoctrination like anyone else.

Every member has to go through the safety briefing. She will have her own pass as will you. Minors have to have an adult with them.

 

I don't know the answer about guests. I'm going to suspect that you could sign in two. It's basically two adult memberships with the second one coming as a half off discount.

Got it - I'll drag her with me whether she wants to come or not Thanks guys

Also of note...

 

Arrive early. Like 9ish. You'll get out sooner as they process them in order.

 

On the member ship form make sure to check the box "I wish to transfer guns at the range". Not that it would ever come to it but it does legally exempt you from "illegal transfer" of firearms under the range exception under NJ law.

 

Target frames are $25 or you can built one for about $10.

Can you 'splain dis betta to me?

NJ Shooting clubs have to give a list of names to the state police. It then allows you to let other people use your guns at the range. At least that's how I understand it.

Ditto what Malsua said. All parties of the family that will be on the family membership MUST attend the safety briefing. And get there early.

It's just a check box on the membership form. "I wish to transfer firearms at the range"

 

Currently the way the law in NJ is written, handing a gun to another person is a felony. There is an exemption for members of established gun clubs and ranges. By checking this box, you are indicating that you wish this exemption to apply to you.
