Do PA gun stores sell high capacity magazine to NJ residents?

 

I'm guessing there is no PA law against it but honestly, I don't know.  I suppose it could be standard operating procedure for PA gun dealers in the spirit of maintaining "ethics," but I don't know that either.

 

Anyone here have first-hand/personal experience?

 

TIA

 

 

 

 

PS - yes, I searched the topic and couldn't find a thread that asked this specific question, so spare me the face-palm emotos.

Yes you can go to any other state and buy STANDARD capacity mags with no questions asked. 

Do you mean, "Standard capacity" magazines?

lets put it this way.... at cabelas, the BINS (multiple) of 30 round pmags are sometimes 4'x4'x4' stacked full.   you pick them up, and walk to the front of the store, and buy them like you are buying a t-shirt or carton of milk

In my experience, The Heritage Guild Easton and Sarco in Easton won't sell them to NJ residents.

I have heard this as well.

You can buy em but cant have em in the state....kinda pointless unless you have another residence in a free state

Do they ask for an ID to buy a magazine? If so, I wouldn't give them a penny of my money for anything.

Sarco doesn't. I never ran into that anywhere.

 

Do you guys have special shirts or tats or something?

Sarco carded a friend of mine. Apparently they also have signs hanging in the shop that state something along the lines of "NJ residents cannot buy anything that is illegal in NJ."

 

That stuff aside, I have never been a fan of Sarco. They imported some cool stuff years ago but the few times i have been in there it's a cluster fudge with grumpy guys behind the counter. No thanks.

No one asked about the "legality" of bringing them back into the state.  We all know that is 100% illegal (well..  in case the OP is brand new to guns and DOESN'T know - bringing them back into the state is 100% illegal).  He simply asked IF you could buy them elsewhere.  The answer seems to be a pretty resounding yes.  Its really up to the person to keep themselves legal here.

This is what I saw and was refering to in my original post.

O.K there chief

Actually im doing the same thing. I am going to be getting 30 rd ar mags. Now that easton is doing three gun i need them if its load to capacity. I figure im going to plastic bag them with silica and slightly bury them somewhere on the road to the range and use them when i do the shoots. Any better ideas let me know.

any dealer I have been to in PA wont sell you a mag over 15, as soon as they find out where your from.

Why would they know where you are from. Is the grinning ear to ear like a 14 year old looking at porn every time you hold a 30rd pmag that much of a giveaway?

This is what I want to know. Nobody has ever asked me, except once before I bought a gun.

This sounds like a better idea to me.

Thanks but no. I dont need them to know my business. Plus then i have to work around when theyre open.

They don't see what you put in the box and they wouldn't give a crap. I am in three bank branches a week and I carry a gun and nobody gives a crap. Mags? Please.

If you honestly think police are going to know you own 30rnd mags and have them either in your house or in your car on your way from PA to NJ, then you need to away the tin foil and get back on your meds. Don't do stupid shit that gets your ride searched and no one will know. If they're coming to your house and excuting a search warrant, then you've got bigger problems than a couple of pieces of plastic that OMG hold too many boolits.

I'm still laughing at the 14 yr old w/ Porn.......what a comparison, lol!

Hey sota. Your right. But i would feel more comfortable my way. Ok. Lets say driving to easton i get into a bad accident and stuff is strewn all around my truck. Im in the ambulance. The cops see that i have a drag bag( thats what i use). And they do their do dilligence of taking control. So now im in a body cast from my accident and when i recoup im facing jail time. So many stupid possibilities that im not comfortable with.

 

 

Or if you're ok with it, i can tell them you said it was ok if something of that sorts happened?

Shit does happen & you never know when.......good point golf

See if Pop's Kitchen would put in lockers like at the bus station, or at the range.

If your concern is that you need them to compete in 3 gun at EFAG I would suggest, before you bury them on the road, that you go to a competition and and get to know the other competitors. Typically there is going to be a group of regulars that will show up for most matches. I'm sure you'll meet someone from PA who lives close to the range and would be willing to store your mags for you and bring them along to matches.

Budasac. Thank you. I was just thinking that. I think thats going to be the best solution. Im sure im not going to be the only jersey guy there. So maybe the match director is going to help us figure this out. Until it is figured out ill have my secret hiding place next to the road. But yes. Bingo. Thats it. I hope to see some of you there this spring.

There is a small storage facility if you make a left at the light kind of behind TNT fireworks going back towards NJ.. Looks like access could be 24-7.

Yeah. I dont have the patience to deal with any of that stuff. Im more of the kiss acronym person. That would confuse my little brain too much.
