New Jersey ranks 49th in a 2014 list of the
best states for gun owners compiled by Guns and Ammo. "One cannot even possess a handgun outside of a few designated areas unless a carry permit has been issued." The state's dismal score of 7 out of 50 is based on right to carry laws, restrictions on sporting rifles, National Firearms Act rights, the Castle Doctrine and a miscellaneous category.
Here are six spots for firearms and pistol practice in the state of New Jersey:
1.
RTSP Shooting Range: Located in Randolph, this premier indoor gun range, store and training facility occupies 35,000 square feet including a 900 square foot Digital Simulator. Twenty-one shooting lanes equipped with electronic retrieval systems are available and RTSP has a rental inventory of over 125 guns.
