    The thing is from my reading of the law, so I could be incorrect, is that a "retail dealer" includes gunsmiths and ffls that only do transfers. So now do they have to carry inventory now?

    I haven't read the language of this bill, but the NJ law requiring all NJ dealers to stock a "smart gun" has a provision that allows the NJSP to exempt FFL's that only do gunsmithing, don't stock firearms or don't normally sell handguns from having to stock a "smart gun".

     

    If this ever comes to fruition, I will probably put a $10,000 price tag on that pistol.

    We should stop calling this a fee. It is a tax. A fee is used to fund the system and mechanisms to issue firearms permits of all kinds.

    The funds generated by the firearm fees go primarily to purchase state police vehicles. This is what a tax does. It generates revenue to be spent as elected officials see fit.

    It is against the law to TAX a constitutional right.

    Really anything you pay to the government is a tax unless it is a penalty. Penalties being when you have done something that violated the law are paying money as a punishment, everything else is a tax. The government likes to call taxes fees, permits , licenses, assessments. I would like to see a law requiring the the government to describe all non penalty payments to the government as a tax.

     

    I was in Nova Scotia, Canada some years ago and bought a fishing license. The license was 35 CAD (as best as I remember), then the guy in the store says it would be 42 CAD (or something close). I asked why it's more money? He said that there was GST (Canadian version of sales tax) on the license. To which I said "They are collecting a tax on a tax?" He said he had never thought about it that way, but that's really what it is.

    Considering one of these as a range toy... are they NJ compliant? Any opinions on them?

    I kind of dig the MAC10 aesthetic of the top cocker, but I also think the MPA30DMG looks cool. I wonder if it takes the same Glock mags my SUB2000 does.

    All of those pistols (with maybe the exception of the DMG) are over 50oz. And whether they have a barrel shroud is open to debate. So even with a non threaded barrel they are still possibly a no go.

     

    MPA used to make a few smaller versions of these pistols that were under 50oz and were NJ legal, but they stopped making them a few years ago

    Also, it doesn’t vacate any state restrictions so you’re still F’d in NJ.  

    If a 18-20 year old somehow did manage to get a handgun permit issued to them, the FARS system would not allow a dealer to execute an electronic permit to someone under 21.

    Not sure when NJ changed their rule but into the 90's 18-20 year olds were able to get handgun permits for a private party transfers.

    There used to be an option that allowed the seller to keep possession if the NICS was delayed. Not sure if any NJ dealer follows that.

    Yes, that is still an option, I've had a few people do that. But since NJ NICS has been perpetually delayed since before Covid, most sellers don't want to be bothered having to come back a second time for when the buyer gets approved. Most sellers get paid by the buyer, drop the gun off and leave any potential NICS issues to the buyer - just the same as a transfer when someone buys on Gun Broker or some other site

    TD just sent me a letter saying for "security reasons and to protect my account" they are going to require ID for all cash deposits. Not sure how someone depositing cash into one of my bank accounts would compromise my account security? It was at $8500 before.

    You have to be nucking futz to open an FFL with out at least a LLC. 

    I thought there was no regulations on 02 and 03 SOT as an 01 or 07 FFL. You can still sell and bid on state contracts for NFA and sell to LEO and transfer out of state stampable items?

    As an 07, you would need a NJ manufacturer license, too. 

    Since I don't have the SOT for NFA I cannot say for sure, but my understanding is that in NJ such a dealer can only deal in suppressors or SBR/SBS items on a special order basis when they are specifically ordered by a LE agency.

    From what I recall, one section on the NJ criminal code bans all suppressors without exception and a different section says they are also banned but exempts LE agencies & military. Another example of two NJ laws conflicting with each other...........

    A few years back I was at one of the seminars the ATF and NJSP run for dealers every so often. One of the State Troopers was talking about how a suppressor manufacturer had asked them if they were permitted to come to NJ to demonstrate suppressors for LE agencies at a range. It seems the consensus was to hold the demonstration in PA and have interested parties travel there since it wasn't clear whether it was legal to do so in NJ.

    If they leave the chips, check under them...I had one crew leave the stumps slightly above ground level, hidden under the huge pile of chips.   I had to call them back to finish the job.   If you want to plant grass over the stumps, you'll have to specify that you want them ground down at least 4 inches below ground level.

    THIS^^^^^

     

    I've seen this plenty. Tell who ever is quoting you to make sure they grind the stumps as low as possible and significantly below the grade of the lawn around the stump so you can grade the area out properly when the stump is gone

    That company is giving bad advice and trying to sell a service you don't need.

    If you are making money selling or transferring guns you will need to set up a business entity of some sort - which will include collecting and paying sales tax to the state.

    Most if not all distributors will not give you an account to buy from them without an EIN and a sales tax certificate.

    You will need correct zoning at your house that allows retail sales of firearms or you will need to get a variance to do so. Getting a variance typically involves notifying any property owner within a certain distance of your property (typically 200-250 feet) that you are tying to change the zoning for your property. They (and anyone else) will have a chance to speak at a zoning board meeting as to whether or not they like the idea of you running a gun shop from your house.

    Paying the $500 a year SOT to deal in NFA items will only let you deal in AOW firearms in NJ to NJ residents. Since suppressors and SBR/SBS firearms are banned outright in NJ you will not be able to possess them as an "inventory" item. Fullauto business would only be to buyers outside NJ since NJ doesn't give out NJ Machine Gun Licenses.

    There is a lot more I could get into, but if you want to get an FFL you are going to need to be all in with it.

    I would out the dealer and manufacture on social media.   Go to their website pages on Facebook, Twitter , Tic Toc and blast them for the lack of customer service support.  

    I most likely will eventually, but for now I'd like to consult with a lawyer before I even have the vehicle removed from the dealer's lot.

    NJ lemon law has no carve outs in the statute for commercial vehicles. 

     

    According to NJ consumer affairs NJ lemon law does not apply to: "Commercial vehicles and the living quarters of
    motor homes"

    So I bought a brand new 2021 truck for my other business and at the ripe age of 5 months and 3600 miles I had a major safety issue that makes the truck undriveable. The truck has been at the dealer for two months and I was just told today by the manufacturer that they are not going to repair the problem or fix any damage that occurred as a result of this problem. The manufacturer gave me an amazingly absurd excuse, that couldn't possibly have caused this problem, for why they don't want to repair this vehicle.

     

    I do not want to post more details on an open forum at this time, but if anyone thinks they can help I can provide a lot more details through a PM.

     

    Also, since this is a commercial vehicle, NJ lemon laws do not apply. So, I cannot use consumer affairs as leverage against them.

    They can easily use FARS to get an application started by using it for the initial background check, as done when applying for a purchase permit.  That would at least eliminate the trip to Morpho.

     

    The NJSP started doing this for employee pink card holders, but this was just the Troopers in the FIU being innovative. FARS does not have an official section of it for pink card applications/renewals. They have the employees use the FIU's ORI number instead of their local town's ORI number. The request in FARS is coded as an application for an FID/HG purchase permit, the FIU then "cancels" the application once the FARS results come back (since it wasn't for an FID or HG purchase permit anyway). Not a perfect way to do it, but it does work better and faster than the old manual way. This could probably be adapted to work for carry permits, but with a much larger volume it could be messy without a specific carry section in FARS.

     

    And for you computer programmers thinking it would be simple to add this into FARS, this is the state we're talking about - nothing is quick or simple with them. FARS still doesn't have a way for a dealer to execute a HG permit without a completed NICS check done first - so there is no way for a dealer to transfer air pistols, muzzle loader pistols, and antique pistols using FARS, a paper permit is still necessary. We've been told "they" are working on that fix since FARS first went online.

    Murphy is a politician not a judge.  He's not going to have a choice. The law will be the law. Judges and lawyers respect Supreme Court rulings even if they don't agree with them. I really don't think NJ will ignore a Supreme court ruling. If they were to do that it would undermine our court system in this country. If politicians and judges can ignore the Supreme court than we have a dictatorship.  

    THIS^^^^    and also remember Murphy cannot pass new laws unilaterally (we all know where we'd be right now if he could). The NJ legislature hasn't seemed like they are in the mood to pass new gun restriction laws lately. Now, I certainly don't trust the Dems in Trenton one bit. But, what happened to Sweeney is probably still fresh in their minds, as well as the fact that Murphy has been good a pissing off the legislature by trying to dictate to them what to do (rather than work out deals) - hopefully they will have more sense than Murphy does.

    I didn't know that.

    So the NICS check is performed 1st and will approve the purchaser, then the FARS will deny the permit execution? Yes, you will get a red message on the screen saying that the permit cannot be executed within 30 days of the last permit. Once the 30 days is out the system will allow the permit to be used.

    If so, one can do a NICS check a few days after acquiring a handgun for another handgun, then wait 29 days before picking up the 2nd one. In theory yes that could be done. Although if your NICS approval is more than 30 days old the system will say there is no approved NICS in the system and therefore the permit cannot be executed. So you'd need to get the timing just right.

     

    I also think there is an ATF rule about being eligible to receive a firearm at the time you sign the 4473, so doing another NICS early may not be allowed for that reason.

    The wife just picked her FPIC up Tuesday the 16th and was supposed to get her pistol permit along with it. She left the PD without it, panicked, and we realized it’s an E-permit now. Went to the LGS tonight and picked out a new 1911 for her. Everything went smooth until they asked for a confirmation email for the pistol permit. She never received an email for the permit that gave her a number/code. The $2 fee was paid, PD said she was all good to go, and now she’s stuck with a gun at the shop all paid for and no confirmation number in sight. Can you give us some insight as to when the email arrived, etc. ? 

    You don't need the confirmation code for the dealer to execute the E-permit. The dealer can find it in the system using your SBI # and DOB

    Honestly I have no idea what broke or what's wrong - My SIL just asked me if anyone knew a sprinkler person to make sure she's not getting ripped off.  $2800 sounds like a huge ripoff.

    That price would be for installing a zone or three to a sprinkler system including zone valves and new lines. If it's only for replacing four sprinkler heads it would be grossly over inflated - Rain Bird heads are $8 + - each, service call to replace them should be $200 or so.
