ScornDefeat 0 Posted April 2, 2021 Good Evening All, New to the Morris/Sussex border area, and coming from an even more restrictive place than NJ, happy to finally have (some of) the ability to exercise my 2a rights. I have participated a bit here and there on the Reddit /njguns forum but figured this might be a good place, as well. Currently have 4 items in my growing "collection" (2x 9mm handguns, 2x 5.6/.223 AR-15 variants), and certainly excited to add more in the near future (most pertinently, a PCC AR). Nice to meet you all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

45Doll 5,848 Posted April 2, 2021 Welcome. I'm now in Sussex, formerly all in Morris since the age of three. More restrictive than NJ eh? Must be suffering PTSD. (Post Traumatic State Disorder) Good luck with the recovery. If you haven't already, apply for your FID and some handgun purchase permits. It may take six months or more depending on exactly where you live. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackDaWack 2,894 Posted April 2, 2021 Nj is part of the 10 step program. Going from some where like CA or NY straight to AZ would even put me into a feeding frenzy death spiral. What are we like step 4 on the list? Behing HI, CA, NY? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kc17 622 Posted April 2, 2021 Welcome, What State is more restrictive? Even California allows CCW if you pay off the Sheriff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can get a CCW in much of CA and NY, but it all depends on where you live. If you're in the wrong place, you have no more chance of getting a permit than you do in NJ. California passed the bill requiring background checks for all ammo sales while blocking mail order sales and even bringing in ammo purchased out of state. It got overturned by a judge, then re-instated on appeal, and to be honest I don't know if it is currently in effect or not. CA also has that wacky list of 'approved' handguns, so a lot of handguns that are legal here aren't legal there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScornDefeat 0 Posted April 5, 2021 Thank you all! While it ain't much, we in NJ still have it a lot better than folks in NYC and CA have it; my experience of a 3.5 month turnaround time on my FID/handgun permits and being able to then purchase (even limited) AR-15-style weapons would be a dream for anybody in NYC and would be problematic for most in CA, as well. Plus, the Sussex-area is actually a nice place to live, can't say that for the most part about NYC or (much of) CA lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
