  • If you’re shooting alone, you must bring your own firearm.
  • Rentals require at least two people.

Who can rent firearms?

Firearm rentals are available to the general public—you do not need a New Jersey FID card, permit, or prior experience to rent and shoot at Gun For Hire.

There are just a few important rules:

  • You must present a valid government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.).
  • No solo rentals: If you do not bring your own firearm, you must have at least one other person with you in the port. This is a strict safety policy.
  • Rentals are available for guests 8 years and older, under the direct supervision of an adult 21+.
  • You may rent from our massive collection of over 300 firearms, including handguns, rifles, shotguns, and specialty firearms.

If it’s your first time shooting, you’ll also receive a 15-minute professional introduction in the port to make sure you understand range etiquette and feel comfortable with the firearm you’ve chosen.

What is an FID card and do I need one?

An FID card (Firearms Purchaser Identification Card) is a permit issued by the State of New Jersey that allows residents to purchase and own firearms and ammunition.

But here’s the good news: you do not need an FID card to shoot at Gun For Hire. Our range is open to the public, and first-time guests are welcome every day. Just bring a valid photo ID, and we’ll take care of the rest.

If you are interested in owning a firearm in New Jersey, our Gun For Hire Concierge Team is here to help guide you every step of the way—from applying for your FID to choosing your first firearm.

Can I holster draw on the range?

For safety, holster draw is only permitted under specific conditions:

  • Active Law Enforcement or individuals who have successfully completed the Gun For Hire 4-Hour Holster Draw Course may draw and fire from the holster.
  • Retired Law Enforcement, armed security personnel, and NJ CCW permit holders may carry a firearm holstered, but may not conduct draw-and-fire drills inside the range.

Please note: Meeting the above prerequisites does not exempt anyone from following all range rules. Firearms must always be aimed; no hip-firing, retention shooting, or other prohibited actions are allowed.

Range Safety Officers are on duty at all times. If they observe unsafe behavior or rule violations, holster privileges may be revoked.

Important: Anyone carrying a firearm must keep it holstered at all times in public areas, including the lobby and store. Firearms may only be unholstered once you are inside your port and ready to shoot.

Why Rent a Pistol Before You Buy?

No two pistols feel the same. Grip angle, trigger pull, recoil impulse, and overall balance vary widely between manufacturers and models. Renting pistols side-by-side gives you real-world experience you simply can’t get from reading reviews or watching videos.

  • Discover which grip and ergonomics feel best in your hands
  • Experience different trigger styles and reset characteristics
  • Compare recoil management across various designs
  • Build confidence before committing to ownership
  • Enjoy variety — even if you already own a firearm

Our knowledgeable staff is always available to help guide you toward pistols that match your comfort level and goals.
