Are non NJ residents allowed to shoot at NJ ranges? I am assuming the answer is no, am I correct?

Of course they are.

For many years we had NY and PA residents at our range in Secaucus. Just transport within the guidelines and you will not have a problem.

Sure. You probably can't take anything out of the range (like ammo or firearms that you purchased there) but you could use them all you wanted!

ammo or firearms that you purchased there

As an out of state resident, he would not be able to purchase any firearms or ammo lacking a FID card. He would be better off bring his own to the range to make it easier.

wait a second. You need an FID even to purchase ammo? how did I miss that? Well I plan on making real close friends with all of you, if that's the case I need you to buy ammo for me! (until I can get my FID).

Actually, I believe the law states that you must have an FID to buy HANDGUN ammo. You can buy rifle ammo without one.

 

HOWEVER, more and more stores are now requiring FID for all ammo purchases to cover their asses. Dick's requires FID for all ammo purchases, at least the one in Woodbridge. The more normal shooting sports stores in the state generally sell rifle ammo without the FID.

Just took my friend from FL to Brick Armory today and she shot today and was able to rent ammo

Never heard anyone rent it before.

 

in all honesty I would love to see someone try to pull it of. Just say that all bullet, brass and reminisce of the exploded gunpowder primer has to be cleaned and left on a rag at the rage from the pistol fired :mrgreen:

You need an FID to buy ammo to take with you. You can buy it for use there without one.

With ranges... public ones that rent at least... what happens inside, they let it happen. Just cant take it with you.

 

when I was at BA last time, some guy bought an AMD AK variant... his magazines that he bought didnt fit... so they let him use 2 30 round banana clips for it while he was there. Talk about muzzle flash.

I'm figuring you rent it, then just look at it for a bit, then return it.

 

Just cant take it with you.

Matches (CMP) that supply ammo work under those restrictions. supplying ammo for training or use on a range is not the same as selling it. NJ state law already covers some of these areas. We have a junior program funded through a NRA grant i wrote last year. I can supply all required equipment to the local kids including ammo. Being under 18, I cannot charge them for the ammo. What we can do is cover the cost of the supplied equipment, including the ammo but every round that we supply them is shot or returned.

 

In fact this weekend I have to sight in all the new AR15's we just bought. It's a real pain and I'm trying to avoid it. I'd rather let the kids do it while I sit with my feet up reading a newspaper.

I am shocked. Thank you for the answesr. I misinterpreted NJ law I guess.
