Should have my permit in 1-2 months so now I need to figure out what gun I should get. I am not trying to spend a fortune, but I don't want junk either. It will just be for going to the range & home protection should that need ever arise.

i see no reason why you would, the range you are going to is in the state that you bought the gun right, which i don't even think that would matter. if it does that is a horrible rule and a horrible state and you need to get out asap!I forgot to ask when I did the paperwork for my permit, does anyone know the transport laws for NJ? Do I have to get another permit to transport my fun from home to the range?
Provided certain conditions are met, a sportsman may transport and use hollow point ammunition. There are no restrictions preventing a sportsman from keeping such ammunition at his home.
N.J.S.A 2C:39-3f(1) limits the possession of hollow nose ammunition. However, there is a general exception that allows for the purchase of this ammunition but restricts the possession of it to specified locations. This exception provides that:
(2) Nothing is sub section f (1) shall be construed to prevent a person from keeping such ammunition at his dwelling, premises or other land owned or possessed by him, or from carrying such ammunition from the place of purchase to said dwelling or land . . . [N.J.S.A 26:39-3g (2)].
Thus a person may purchase this ammunition and keep it within the confines of his property. Sub section f (1) further exempts from the prohibited possession of hollow nose ammunition "persons engaged in activities pursuant to N.J.S.A 2C:39-6f. . . ."
N.J.S.A 26:39-3f. (1).
There is no a ban on HP ammo. You can legally purchase, transport, store, hunt with, and target shoot (provided the range is fine with it) hp ammo in NJ. I believe there are extra penalties involved if you get caught with HP ammo while not doing one of the approved activities with it.
