NJ Carry Permit Information And Qualification Process 

Disclaimer: The State seems to be adding and changing requirements daily. For the people who are willing to apply, and risk changes, we cannot be held liable for any changes that occur after you qualify with us. You’ve been warned.

Step 3

Before I qualify, I’d like private lessons or to practice with my carry gun.

Our 6-Star Gun Range is the perfect place for you to come and practice for your upcoming PTC Qualification. You have some great options below. Choose the best option for your level.

1- Bring your firearm, to Gun For Hire, anytime the Range is open. At the Retail counter, tell our Retail staff you would like to practice to shoot the qualification course. They will hand you the correct target and course of fire. (Note: You can not draw from a holster at Gun For Hire unless you have taken Holster Draw at Gun For Hire.) You can also have a Range Safety Officer stand in the port with you and give you basic training to help improve your score. Walk in anytime. We always have RSOs available.

2- You can schedule a private lesson, which is 2 hours of 1 on 1 training. The instructor will work with you on everything you need to feel comfortable and confident with your firearm. To see the available dates and times for Personal One on One Instruction, click here.

3- If you are a new gun owner and have never taken the NRA Basics of Pistol, we highly recommend this course. This course also give you the option to apply for the Florida Non-Resident Carry Permit, which will allow you to carry in approximately 35 states.

*Note: You can not draw from a holster, at Gun For Hire, unless you have taken the Gun For Hire Holster Draw course.
