NJ Bullseye Matches?

So there is a big chance that I will have to go to NJ on a temporary work assignment that could last a few months.

Was hoping I could spend my weekends shooting matches. Going to be in the Lakehurst area.

Yes I know their laws suck. Yes it gives me anxiety. From what I can tell keep the pistol box locked and in the cargo space (SUV) and the ammo somehow separated. Their website keeps talking about “In the trunk” I have no trunk…

If not in the trunk, then it needs to be in a locked container, inaccessible to the driver and separate from ammo.

The question is, can you have guns in NJ? A resident can have permitted guns in their home and can travel with them to and from the range or a match. You won't be a resident and, therefore, I presume, can't get permits. A non-resident can travel into the state with guns when going to a legal destination i.e. a match.

Perhaps contact the state association, anjrpc. They may be able to guide you better.

There are plenty of matches. Check out njpistol.com

This is what I am wondering myself, hence the anxiety. I will see if I can get in contact with a club of some sort that may have some answers.

Thanks Zippy that’s the exact website I got my information from.

Seems they only cover the expected conditions of travel for the firearms but not the traveler.

I moved out of NJ 21 years ago, but for many years I shot BE at the Monmouth County R&P Club. It was a great club with great people. It is not too far from Lakehurst.
