Hello everyone! My first post on these forums. I've been lurking on and off for a few years. Finally decided to make an account and start posting. I hope you all can help me out with a few questions I have. I've been in the Army since 2005, I spent just over 4 years on active duty with the field artillery out of Fort Sill. During that time I was deployed in Iraq for just under 3 years. While I was in Iraq, I purchased a David Pedersoli 2nd Model Land Pattern Brown Bess. The company I purchased it through, Dixie Gun Works, had it shipped directly to my mother's house here in New Jersey. Since then I've moved back here and I am now looking to start shooting it. I have a question that I need some assistance with. I've come to understand that these types of weapons are no longer considered firearms in New Jersey, or the United States for that matter. As such, an FPID is NOT required to own one in the state of New Jersey. Nor is it required to purchase such a weapon in the state. Can someone confirm this? EDIT: Just to clarify, I got my information from the ATF and Dixie Gun Works. Thanks in advance!
