WOW, great information! Thanks to all. Looks like my first trip will be to my local police station. Good people there and I can start getting the ball rolling.

Like I said earlier, my primary reason to get my license is to shoot trap and hopefully at some point go hunting for either deer or duck.

Z-Man and E Sully, I have gone to Thunder Mountain quite a number of times. I have used their guns and also other people's guns. Good idea to try a bunch. Z-Man wow, the range at woodland park is much closer. I may be taking you up on that offer. Would be great to have another resource.

Quick question though. When I drive to thunder mountain, I drive from NJ to NY to NJ again, is this against the law if I am carrying a gun?
