I applied in September for my FID in New Brunswick, NJ. Police said about two months. I don't care if it's not the one month law as long as I get in the end of Nov/Dec. But anyway I got some questions about shooting. A hunter told me if I get a hunting license I can target practice (I'm thinking about getting a DDI ak and a 12 gal. shotgun) in "Wildlife management places." I would go to the range but most only allow .22 and good public ones are far from New Brunswick (+1 hour) just to shoot. I'm also wondering about open carry (long guns) if that was legal. Wondering that cause if I where to shoot at these place (if legal and possible) would I need to be in the middle of nowhere to get my gun out to shoot. Is open carry only ok for hunting? I mean I see no point to open carry a rifle in the city cause everyone see you (meaning if something bad happen you could be the first target) but it would be interesting see someone do it. Lastly hunting. I'm not a hunter and don't want to hunt (just not interested and I don't have a truck cause I'm a city boy) but I'm interested on what happens when an animal is killed. Like is it sold for meat or is it just a sport and the animal is left there. Any extra information about law especially the confusing parts would be awesome. Thanks again.

If you drive through the Lincoln tunnel, they allow open carry of long guns and you can shoot whatever you want. It's way better there for what you wanna do. I would leave know to beat the holiday traffic.
Isn't NY just as bad or worst than NJ? Anyways I'm in college so can't leave yet but if I can get a job after I graduate in PA or maybe the south I think I'd leave. Jersey just isn't US friendly.

The DDI AK is great!! I own one and love it, it comes zeroed to 30 yards, is pretty accurate-no tack driver-but gets the job done, pretty good trigger (surprisingly good for an AK at least), and it breaks down and cleans easily. That being said, you should REALLY look into the laws a LOT more, as previously states almost everything you mentioned was illegal. If you're not into hunting, this is the wrong website for you. You don't need a truck to hunt either. A truck is very convenient, but I drive a Mustang and make it work. If you really want to own a firearm, talk to someone at a local gun shop. That's where I learned most of the laws and asked questions, even better if you find one with Police Officers working in it, as they know what other police officers will look for.
I can't because I'm not 21 or a member of the NRA.
Update: You can shoot at a wildlife Management Areas but only shotguns, air rifles, and .22 rilfes that could be used to hunt. No center-fire rifles and handguns. They only allow certain types of ammo mostly lead-free and it can be not steel cased. The lady said everything is on the website. I will still do to shoot a shotgun and maybe get into a little bit of hunting.
Also targets can not be on the ground so a frame of some kind is needed.

Join the NRA today. They offer all kinds of info on their website.
Do they help out in NJ or not really? Cause I know that the NJ2AS tries really hard to keep/gain our right in NJ.

The NRA can give you much more accurate and trustworthy information than a bunch of anonymous guys on a hunting forum. Anyone that trusts obtaining legal information regarding firearms laws to a bunch of guys on an Internet chat forum probably shouldn't own a gun.

I would read the provisions of New York's SAFE Act first before venturing over the border with "NJ legal stuff":
