Unfortunately, I am. Just looking to see where everyone in this wonderful state shoots, and if anyone knows of a good gun shop/ gunsmith.
I've been using Davis Outdoor in New York, great place, just a pain to have the guns shipped to NJ.

I lived in Southern NJ for 33 years. Moved to Central PA seven years ago and never looked back. I now have 8 handguns and my carry permit. I dread crossing the bridge to go back and visit relatives.

Used to be some good ranges in the Deptford area across from Philly. For gunsmiths, I always went to Harry's Army and Navy on Rt. 130 in Hamilton.

I just joined the range at Cherry Ridge in Jan., and have been there a handful of times getting used to my new gun.

It's a really nice place, friendly folk, and very safety conscious. Being the only range that I know of in NW NJ, I just wonder how crowded it gets when the weather warms up.

I am sad to admit it, but I live in NJ.
Northern NJ now, moving to East Brunswick next.

Have a few weeks wait left to get my FID and 1 HG permit, but excited to get into it.

Buddy who keeps his boat at same marina as me says he shoots at a range in Jackson.

Supposed to be very nice, but I have not been there.
Will go when with him when I get my card.
Stil debating whether to buy a Glock 26/27 or an XD9 or Xd40.

I have small hands and the 26/27 glock are the only glocks comfortable for me.
The police officer (Sgt) in my town who did my fingerprinting was cool as hell. Cleared his XD45 for me and let me hold it.
Fit perfect in my hand, so leaning towards the XD over the Glock.

I wi check out that central jersey club for sure.

I'm in Bergen and I shoot at Tenafly Riffle and Pistol Club. Membership and annual dues are required but you can shoot as long as you wish for $5 within specified periods. Plan to get a handgun for plinking soon and hope to check out the Bullet Hole in Bellevile as soon as the HG permit comes through.
We are affiliated with Cherry Ridge but I've yet to visit, waiting for a center fire rifle for that.

We see an awful lot of Jersey license plates here down in my area of Virginia. A few questions if I may. For those of you who live in New Jersey...

How difficult is it to purchase a handgun from an FFL?
Can you buy a handgun in a private sale?
What about transporting your handgun in your vehicle to a friend's home or a range?
Does your state require you to register your firearms?

I am from New Jersey. I was born and raised in Cape May. I am proud to say that I took off as fast as I could. I left for the military when I was 20 and haven't turned back, yet. The first thing I did was change my car registration and my license as fast as possible.

Those retards have tried to summons me for jury duty 3 times. Twice while I was deployed, My father had to handle that for me. They actually thought they were going to issue me a bench warrant. They are retarded. Once when I was on a training exercise. My last response to the court was to wish them luck if they try to put out and enforce a warrant for me. I doubt NJ can argue with the Pentagon. ;) I also told them I will not respond if they try to summons me again. I will allow their system to run its course.
Haven't heard from them since.

Sorry, went off on a rant. I hate NJ, can you tell?

My residency is in Texas. I own a house in Kansas and I am currently stationed in VA. I won't ever move back to that place. Sorry for you guys.

I've lived in NJ my entire life and it really is a love-hate relationship. NJ has the ocean, mountains, good schools and medical facilities. It also has the highest tax rates, most expensive auto insurance, the most ridiculous gun laws in the country and the most idiotic politicians. I recently saw an article that listed NJ as the most corrupt state in the union. There is only one thing that keeps me here and that is family. I just can't leave the kids and grandkids.

As far as a place to shoot... I belong to Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club. They have 25+ different type of ranges on the property to utilize such as high power, long distance, trap, pits, indoor, etc. nice club, nice group of people.
