Elite Noire Firearms Training Academy

Elite Noire Firearms Training Academy is an NRA-certified instruction center focused on firearms safety, proficiency, and New Jersey concealed carry training. Located at 371 Hoes Lane, Suite 200 in Piscataway, the academy serves students across New Jersey and non-residents seeking concealed carry permits.

"Safety is always our number one priority." - Dwight Mitchell, Founder

Elite Noire provides the training required under New Jersey's post-Bruen permitting laws (as of June 2022, the "justifiable need" standard was eliminated). To qualify for a CCW permit in New Jersey, applicants must:

✓ Possess a New Jersey Firearms ID Card ✓ Own the handgun they wish to carry (with proof of ownership) ✓ Complete fingerprinting through IDENTOGO ✓ Demonstrate handgun familiarity (Elite Noire's NRA CCW course satisfies this requirement) ✓ Pass a qualification course of fire (150 rounds minimum) ✓ Submit complete application packet to local police or NJSP Barracks ✓ Complete mental health check authorization

Elite Noire maintains detailed FAQ resources covering:

• •Reciprocity: NJ does not recognize out-of-state permits; some states recognize NJ permits
• •Carrying Multiple Guns: Maximum two handguns at any given time
• •Magazine Exemptions: CCW permit holders no longer need loaded mag exemptions
• •Open Carry: No longer permitted as of December 22, 2022—all firearms must be concealed
• •Renewal: Every 2 years with full application packet and shooting qualification
• •Non-residents: Can apply at State Police Barracks
• •Military Training: Does not satisfy the requirement; DD214 alone is insufficient
• •Marijuana: Federal law prohibits applicants with medicinal or recreational marijuana cards
• •Green Card Holders: Can apply if legally able to own firearms
