Hey Guys, I tried searching but can't find something specific to my situation.
I have an opportunity to obtain a rifle (ruger 10/22 I think) from a family member who lives out of state(Florida). I don't really have plans to fire the rifle or take it to the range. I would just hold onto it and keep it stored in a safe.
Here is my issue, I currently don't have a fpid card and due to all the red tape and being that I may move out of NJ soon I really don't care to get involved in the application process. If I do accept this rifle is it illegal? It seems that a lot of the transfer issues apply to handguns and not rifles?
It's my understanding that I only need the FPID to purchase? Is it really that illegal to have a rifle in the house with no ammo?
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
