Anthony is a great friend of AmmoLand Shooting Sports News and has been fighting to save the second amendment behind enemy lines in NJ all his life. Anthony would be a great addition to the NRA BOD were we know he will always have NJ’s back. NJ needs all the support it can get to fight back against the plague of Democrat lead gun control efforts in the state.” ~ Fredy Riehl, AmmoLand Editor-in-Chief.

Anthony Colandro is in the trenches of New Jersey on the front lines of the war for our gun rights. He is dedicated, heart and soul, to defeating the enemy. I proudly endorse Anthony Colandro for NRA BOD.

I whole heartedly endorse Anthony Colandro for Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association. I first became aware of Anthony via his podcast Gun for Hire Radio and have listened to every episode. He is a generous 2nd Amendment supporter with his time, money and resources. He is a long time NRA training counselor and has trained countless firearms instructors in many disciplines. He has not only testified many times in front of the New Jersey House and Senate, but has organized several rallies at the NJ Statehouse protesting proposed anti-2A rights legislation. He is also the Vice President of the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs ( the NJ NRA State affiliate).  He deserves a chance to represent  us on the NRA Board of Directors.

Anthony Colandro is determined, charismatic, and a true leader in the gun rights community. Commencing in 1992, Anthony built his gun range as a place for women, children and minority groups. This was his first step in encouraging all Americans to love the Second Amendment and everything it stands for. Today, Anthony has the largest gun range in New Jersey, providing quality training to hundreds of Americans each day. I 100% endorse and support Anthony Colandro for NRA board.

I first heard of Anthony Colandro from a friend of mine that had taken SORA training at Gun For Hire. He had nothing but good things to say about the training he took. Later when my friend went back to GFH for his NRA Instructor certifications he told me more about Anthony, his range and Anthony’s stance on the 2nd Amendment rights. I later became a certified NRA instructor myself through GFH and learned first hand about Anthony and his 2nd Amendment advocacy work. In 2015 I decided to start a 2nd Amendment workshop, The 2nd is For Everyone: Diversity Shoot, dedicated to growing the firearms community by welcoming people regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or background into the firearms community. I needed a range to launch this endeavor from and the first place that came to mind was Gun For Hire range in Woodland Park NJ. Anthony immediately opened his range to me for this event, allowed me to be a guest on his hugely popular podcast and donated many swag,  gear, training and range passes for us to give away during our events. I have become more active in 2nd Amendment politics in New Jersey, whenever I wanted to make a difference all I had to do was look for wherever Anthony Colandro was at to find the epicenter of New Jersey’s 2nd Amendment advocacy. Anthony Colandro is a great 2nd Amendment civil rights leader, an amazing instructor, a unapologetic capitalist, a good friend and my recommendation for the NRA Board of Directors.

It has been our pleasure to know and work with Anthony Colandro for over a decade. Since our first meeting with him at his Belleville location so long ago, Anthony has been a friend to all those in the self-protection and gun rights community. His determination to provide a safe,friendly, and knowledgable place for those interested in learning and training about firearms is shown in the quality of his organization and staff. Anthony has been a leader in support & defense of our Second Amendment rights and would be a great asset to the NRA Board.

G96 is a leading manufacturer of lubricants within the gun industry for over 50 years. I have had the pleasure as serving as Vice President of Sales and Manufacturing for over 10 years. Within this capacity I have had the pleasure to make the acquaintance of Anthony Colandro. (Owner of Gun For Hire) Anthony is as hard working and community driven as they come. For years most ranges catered o the adult, white male clientele; not Anthony. When he opened his range in 1992, he built his business model around an all-inclusive philosophy in which ALL Americans share the second amendment right to bear arms; welcomng women, children and minority groups into his facility. His range is the largest gun range in New Jersey; providing quality training to hundreds of Americans each day. Many ranges have followed in his footsteps; providing “Ladies Nights” and other events that encourage all to frequent their facilities. Anthony is charismatic and well spoken; a true leader within the gun rights community. I truly believe that Anthony Colandro would be an asset to the NRA board. As such, I endorse his candidacy and he has 100% of my support with this endeavor.

As an NRA Benefactor and Charlton Heston Member, I understand the need for NRA Board Members that are tireless and zealous fighters, who remain steadfast in their devotion, defense and commitment to the inalienable Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Given Anthony Colandro’s resilience and never ending fight against New Jersey’s draconian gun laws, I wholeheartedly endorse him for the NRA Board of Directors. With him installed at the helm, we can all be assured that our inviolate rights are never encroached upon.

I endorse Anthony Colandro

Sincerely,
Anthony Imperato

On behalf of the membership of the Second Amendment Women’s Shooting Club -SAW I offer our strong endorsement for Anthony Colandro for NRA Board of Directors. Anthony has been a friend and supporter of our women’s shooting club since it’s inception and hosted our inaugural event, as well as many others since then. He is also a personal friend for over ten years so I can vouch for his dedication to the 2A community, particularly providing a safe, friendly and professional environment for women and their families to participate in the shooting sports.

Anthony has always given his full support for women’s access to educational opportunities in firearms training. We are proud to call his range our home base.
