I think I already know the answer, but I couldn't find it on this board so I figured I might ask just to make the answer findable through a search.

 

Can I take a friend to the range to shoot my handguns if they do not have a FPID?

Depends on the range. Some ranges claim they required a FPID to shoot, in practice I don't think I've heard of any actually checking it. There might be some clubs that do. Shrug.

 

You don't need it to come to Cherry Ridge when we have a shoot.

Wow, that is not the reply I expected. Thanks.

I have never been asked to see my FPID card at any range I have been to.

I could be wrong, but isn't it ok per the law to bring your friends shooting pistols as long as you are supervising them and are on a range which files a charter with the NJSP?

Roger that. It's specifically noted in the statutes that temporary transfers at a range do not require FPID as long as the club/range is on charter with the NJSP.

1. a. Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.2C:39-9, N.J.S.2C:58-2, N.J.S.2C:58-3 or any other statute to the contrary concerning the transfer or disposition of firearms, the legal owner, or a dealer licensed under N.J.S.2C:58-2, may temporarily transfer a handgun, rifleor shotgun to another person who is 18 years of age or older, whether or not the person receiving the firearm holds a firearms purchaser identification card or a permit to carry a handgun. The person to whom a handgun, rifle or shotgun is temporarily transferred by the legal owner of the firearm or a licensed dealer may receive, possess, carry and use that handgun, rifle or shotgun, if the transfer is made upon a firing range operated by a licensed dealer, by a law enforcement agency, a legally recognized military organization or a rifle or pistol club which has filed a copy of its charter with the superintendent and annually submits to the superintendent a list of its members and if the firearm is received, possessed, carried and used for the sole purpose of target practice, trap or skeet shooting, or competition upon that firing range or instruction and training at any location.

 

I remember going to Ft. Dix a number of years ago with my cousin, they only required the person renting the table to have a FPID card. They didn't check anyone else.

Your friends dont need a FID to shoot your guns.
