Fid Required For Rifle Inheritance

I've got a quick question, or more of a verification....

 

A friend of mine inherited a 22 rifle and he wants to take it to the range... looking at the NJ laws I've found the following

 

13:54-1.13 Firearms passing to heirs or legatees

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subchapter concerning the acquisition of a firearm, a permit to purchase a

handgun or a firearms purchaser identification card shall not be required of an heir or legatee for the passing of a firearm,

upon the death of its owner. A person so acquiring ownership may retain the firearm if he or she meets the requirements

of N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.5 and 1.6.

 

 

Reading this I believe that he doesn't need an FID to own this gun or take it to the range (provided he legally carries it, locked unloaded ext)

 

 

am I correct here.

 

I don't want to give the wrong advice..

 

I've already told him he should actually get it anyways, purchase another firearm later on in life or something else but for now is he okay to go to the range?

 

Thanks

 

Rob

The transfer from dad to mom does not require FID... as all his assets went to mom.

 

She is the legal owner, unless she legally disclaimed the assets.

 

In which case it would go to next in line.

 

Lets say she did not disclaim. She then sells it/transfers it. Whomever takes it, required FID and COE forms as any other transfer.

I think it was more of an assumed deal... if anything I think in legal order it would have gone down to his mother if anything but she was uninterested and passed them to my friend and his brother ... I do see where your going with this... safer than sorry

 

If he is not specifically named in the will, the firearm goes to his mother. Just because she is uninterested, does not mean he can then take possession. He needs an FID and will need to fill out a COE in order to transfer the gun from his mother to himself.

Strictly legally speaking, the above posters are correct. It isn't exactly an inheritance, per NJ law. So it isn't his firearm.

 

Is he okay to take it to the range? With his mother he is, yes. Without her, legally, he is not. Could he do so and be fine? Yes, the odds are in his favor, and by a fairly large margin. I will caveat that by saying I am not suggesting he do anything illegal. Just answering the question

If you are not suggesting he break the law... why even bother to answer if the odds of him are getting caught or not? For someone new, it would be easy to read between the lines. Just saying, legally speaking of course.

      WTS Argentine Mauser
      By rifleman
      Model 1891 Argentine Mauser 7.65 x 53 with bayonet. Not an exact match but fits pretty good. This fine weapon is an engineering marvel well over 100 years old. Ramp sight to 900 yards for harassing fire to prevent free movement in the enemy's camp. Steel is in pretty good condition. All threads have been lubricated and work fine. Crack in upper handguard & the stock was secured with 2 screws. I have shot this many times and he is a beast. If your'e looking for a shooter, Boyd's has replacement stocks and you can take your spot on the line with fine German craftsmanship.
      Barrel has all the right stamps and marks according to several articles.
      I had this gun for 35 years and time for a new home. I used to display it in my office with the bayonet but it looked way too scary.
      22 boxes (440 rounds) of new ammo included. They go for $40 per box now! 
      Rifle, bayonet (with metal sheath) & ammo $450 or trade for 12g target ammo/silver. I can bring it to Central Jersey Rifle Pistol Club for inspection.
      First reply I'll take it gets the prize

      Thoughts on Applying for more P2P with existing FID
      By dman2112
      Hello all,
      Some opinions please.  I am a long time NJ resident and also a resident in SC.  I spend 8 months out of the year in NJ out of necessity.  When I leave NJ I carry everywhere as I have multiple CWP's.  I have purchased many pistols legally in NJ over the years.
      I was thinking about getting some new permits to pee...(my term for the Pistol Permit) but with all the BS that had been going on I was thinking about refraining.
      I also have completed all the NJ CWP permit applications, but I am not sure I am actually going to apply.  I don't need to put up with the NJ BS.  To me it's insulting.  Plus with all the restrictions coming and being tied up in the courts for probably years, it may be just a futile exercise.   I would rather just leave when my house is build in SC and buy it there.  Once I switch my license to SC, its cash and carry for me.
      I have the old, non-expiring FID.  What I do not want to happen is if I go apply for new permits to pee, that my FID gets converted to an expiring one and then I have to pay a renewal fee.   
      I did read the new regs and it looks like they are grandfathering old FID folks to the non expiring one but this is NJ...what is written in law is usually ignored by the class warfare system we have here and the horrible mentality and attitude of some of these LEO's and NJSP officers that think their personal bias is important and the sneers you get when you go pay the $2.
      Am I being paranoid?

      Just got my FID
      By salvatorejrc
      I just got my FID for long guns, although I don't know anything about guns or ammo. What is a good gun to get my hands on that will help me learn more but won't break the bank, at the same time being ideal at home defense?
