Friend that belongs to a range sent this to me: I still have not had time to read the documents but it will be heard Monday, so there is not my time to contact your reps
IT WON'T BE LAW
IF WE STOP THEM NOW!
EVEN IF YOU HAVE A FIREARMS ID CARD THIS AFFECTS YOU. You will have no place to shoot. If made law, two dangerous bills will effectively put all gun clubs in New Jersey out of business. These bills would also prevent non-residents from using New Jersey ranges.
Cedar Creek, M&M and shooting ranges as we know them may be a thing of the past if anti-gun politicians have their way in the Garden State. A pair of dangerous bills are scheduled to be heard in the Assembly Law & Public Safety Committee as early as this Monday, December 5.
A.4179 and A.4180, sponsored by Assemblyman Ralph Caputo (D-28), require target shooters to produce a state issued ID along with an FID card or a purchase permit before using a range.
In addition, the bills as written contain excessive "transfer" prohibitions where simply handing a gun between an instructor and a student would be a serious issue. Hunter safety courses, family days at the range, open houses and new shooter introduction events would all be jeopardized. Even law enforcement members would have a hard time using ranges to train or qualify.
