New Jersey: Anti-Shooting Range Legislation Pulled from Committee Agenda

Thanks to your calls and emails, A.4179 and A.4180, sponsored by Assemblyman Ralph Caputo (D-28), were removed from the Assembly Law & Public Safety Committee’s agenda.  As written, these bills require target shooters to produce a state issued ID along with an FID card or a purchase permit before using a range.

While A.4179 and A.4180 might have been removed from Monday's agenda, these bills are by no means dead.  Opposition from gun owners has resulted in the bills being held for further discussion.  Your NRA-ILA will continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available.  Again, thank you to those NRA members and Second Amendment supporters who contacted committee members in opposition to these anti-gun bills. Your action made all the difference.  Again, there will be no hearing on these bills Monday.
