    One does not need a fid to transport any firearm (yes in NJ bb guns and pellet guns are considered firearms) only to purchase them.

    If you have your FID you could keep any long gun unloaded in your vehicle at all times. Without an FID you are limited to and from range/ hunting, gunsmith and any homes or properties you own/lease. 

    You can legally kill pests such as squirrel with an air rifle out of season if you can show proof of 500$ or more of damage to your home. If not you can be charged with taking game out of season. You would have to abide by the legal hunting distances to other homes unless you have permission (450' i think). 

    If your shooting squirrel just because you don't like them around your house just move to the city and stay out of the park 

    Thank you, that was some good info.

    You don't need a FPID to own any firearm. You need it to purchase long guns. See the difference?

    Theres a couple more benefits to having an FPID but let's keep it simple. (Purchase pistol caliber ammo and transport your unloaded riffles outside the exemptions except in places where  expressly forbidden) 

     The law doesn't require an FPID to transport your firearms, either. Sorta makes sense, if you are not required to have it to own firearms, logic would dictate you don't need it to transport them.

    There is no long gun registration as we understand it. Pistols, on the other hand, by virtue of the process required to purchase them, become automatically registered.

     

     

    Thank you

    You would be better off having your one of your parents but it. The business may not allow your purchase using a NJ address. Then you can drive to PA, take possession, then drive back to NJ. No FPID needed. Of course, you'll have to convince your parent it is legal to do.

    I’m under the impression that real gun laws apply to pellet guns, which would mean transporting it in a car without an FID is illegal, also illegal to possess on NJ soil without FID.  If I was somehow pulled over and searched and the gun was found I’d be in some doo doo or evening seen on my own property doing my pest control (squirrels) which is why I want the airgun mainly (and also for fun) I’d have an issue not being registered to own a firearm.  That was my interpretation of the laws, may be wrong, but that’s how I understood it all.

    I also plan on buying a real weapon at some point with all this nonsense going on, but would like to learn how to use a real weapon before buying, so having the FID will be needed for the future as well for that.

    I still cannot believe that this state requires a permit, to purchase and own a BB gun...And, from what I've heard, the only place you can legally shoot them, is at a gun range!? I bought one years ago from someone on Ebay. They sent it to my home in NJ, no questions asked. I guess at some point i should probably apply for a permit and register it...*Sigh*

    The NJ laws are ridiculous.

    my understanding always was that pellet longguns required a call to NJ NICS when sold by a dealer, on a COE, also required by NJ

    Is your position that all I need do is flash my FID card (not recorded on any gov-form) to buy a Crosman or Gamo (non-suppressed, of course!) .177 or .22 pellet rifle over the counter, like in Free Amerika (I'm not so sure where that is anymore, but that's another story altogether) but I have to shop at a NJ Retail-Licensed dealer? But no paperwork or call?

    My plan is to purchase online and ship to my parents house just over the river in PA. Once obtaining FID to pick up and drive back to NJ

    I am new to the gun world and in the process of being fingerprinted to get my firearm ID.

    Question comes as Ive seen different responses on pellet gun laws centered around suppressors on pellet guns.  Have read they are illegal outright, also have read the are illegal unless manufactured that way with one on it.

    I have fallen in love with the Sig Sauer MCX that comes stock with a suppressor.  I want to know if this is legal if I purchase as Im obviously not trying to be charged after purchasing this pellet gun if a cop finds me.

    Any help would be appreciated as I just need some clarification if anyone knows these laws better than I.
