I'm going out there on Monday to take some proper pictures and get everything in order. I'll let you know when I put up a thread. I'm very grateful for all your help!

My grandpop actually died a few years back, and interest in his guns seems to come in waves. Like I said, I'm the only one who is actually interested in firing them. Everyone else is interested in the sentimental value. Most recently, my cousin got into some trouble with some drug dealers in Trenton and they used Facebook to figure out who his mother and grandmother were and threaten them. The whole thing was pretty scary. The dealers are in prison now and my cousin moved to the shore, but the whole thing got me a bit spooked. I changed the lock on the room where the guns are kept, and catalogued what was in the safes. I couldn't risk him coming to arm himself or steal the guns to sell. This got the family interested again in taking what guns they want. I figure that this is the best time to finally make it happen. I'm going to go back there next week and get better pictures and start getting my family to make some decisions so that we can sell what is left. My grandmom, though she owns them now, wants nothing to do with them. She never cared much for his hobby, and would be happy to be rid of them all. I'll start asking around the gun owners I know in NJ and get it moving. Thanks everyone!

I am the only member of my family who is out of NJ, and I have a license to carry in PA, but I'd rather not transfer everything to me since I only have a small apartment. I have already taken care of my guns. The rest are either to be given to family members (once they are ready) and sold. After we transfer to my family members, would my grandmom be able to sell them herself (with my help) in NJ through forums like this and through personal contacts? My Grandpop make it clear that he did not want her to go to our local gun shop because they regularly rip off women like her who don't know much about what they were left.

Thanks. That's helpful. I assume that she would also need to get some kind of permit to sell them or is she grandfathered in (pun intended)?

My Grandpop was an avid gun collector and when he died, left behind about 30 firearms. I was the only person in his family who shared his passion, and he got me my first job pulling trap when I was a teenager. Before he died, he asked me to make sure that they were taken care of legally, responsibly, and respectfully. None of this was in writing, so he did not officially pass them down to me. This January, I accepted a job in Reading and I am now a PA resident. My grandmother would like me to take care of his collection, and members of my family are already calling dibs on different guns. I have made it clear that if anyone wants any of these guns, they must first obtain a firearms permit and let me give them lessons on proper usage, safety, and maintanance. To them, the guns are a way to remember him, but they do not yet respect the power that they wield or the legal consequences of doing anything wrong with a gun in New Jersey. My main question is this. What can I do, as a PA resident to see that some of these guns are legally passed on to my family and the rest of them sold?

Hello everyone! I just got my account today and wanted to introduce myself. My first job was running trap at the Falls Twp Rifle and Pistol Association on Monday nights from when I was 14 until i was 18. My grand pop instilled in me a deep respect for firearms and their role in our lives/history. I owe a lot to him and I look forward to learning from you all as well.
