Since last week’s supreme court gun ruling, the phones at the WeShoot gun range in Lakewood have not stopped ringing, the owners tell TLS.
Proprietor Mark Abady says they have been inundated with phone calls and messages inquiring about the new supreme court ruling, and what it means for gun owners across New Jersey.
“Our thousands of members want clarification,” says Abady. “This ruling is having a tremendous impact, and people are excited, but at the same time want to clarify the process which would allow them to carry.”
Since the ruling, membership has skyrocketed, as residents look to train on a constant basis, now that they could be carrying without justifiable need. Guns are also flying off the shelves, WeShoot says, especially carry-size.
But buying a gun doesn’t give you a license to carry, Abady cautions.
“First of all, you must make sure you have a permit to carry,” says Abady. “This ruling doesn’t give you an automatic license to carry. Additionally, carrying a weapon requires a high level of skill, and constant training is imperative.”
In response to the high demand, WeShoot has announced multiple training classes – including NRA Basic Pistol classes, CCW classes and more. Most classes are filled up immediately after announcement.
