Shocker 150 Posted February 28, 2022 I believe the weight limit was for handguns where the magazine is OUTSIDE the grip (e.g. AR pistols and broomhandle Mausers ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if one is registered to me, wouldn't I have to turn it in after the ban or otherwise "get rid of it"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typically your options are turn it in, sell it to someone in a free state or if they grandfather all the one already owned, then if you have one you're good to keep it but you can't transfer it to anyone else in this state. If the do pass a law, they usually set a date by which you have to disposition the item. When the 15 round magazines were banned, they set a date by which you had to disposition them through one of the available options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lawnmower2021 423 Posted February 28, 2022 Could also get a DE in 44 Magnum. Obviously, 50 caliber is for shooting down small airplanes. 44 Magnum is perfectly safe. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,661 Posted February 28, 2022 The 50oz weight limit is one of the “evil features” for a handgun. You can have two features before your handgun is considered an “assault weapon” - at which point it becomes prohibited in NJ. So, yes, you can be over 50oz as long you don’t have too many other “evil features”. https://nj.gov/njsp/firearms/pdf/062408_title13ch54.pdf N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.2 Definitions Semi-automatic handguns that have the ability to accept a detachable magazine and at least two of the following features: • Magazine that attaches outside of the pistol grip. • Threaded barrel • Barrel shroud • Manufactured weight of 50oz or more when the pistol is unloaded • Semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm Nobody reads anymore. Everyone panics. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ESB 244 Posted March 10, 2022 So can't get one with a threaded barrel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 8, 2022 Because the magazine is in the grip it’s not regulated like an AR pistol is or any pistol where the mag attaches other than into the grip. I don’t how you’d thread the barrel one but it would be legal. NJ frequently blusters about banning .50 cal firearms and it is yet to pass. If it does you can lose it in a boating accident, store it or move out of state, sell it to someone in a freer state. I sold mine and miss it. Prob get another.

From the list that HE posted, if you have 2 or more of the evil features the handgun is designated as an assault pistol and banned. Because the DE is over 50oz you cannot have any more evil features from the list and still be legal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm There is no automatic version of this firearm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shocker 150 Posted April 9, 2022 That is for stuff like the semi auto Uzis and such Because, you know, if it LOOKS like a machine gun is must be a machine gun (As a side note, many have seen the video of a full auto DE - look it up, it’s absurd. But that was an aftermarket modification so it doesn’t count for this rule) 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 9, 2022 @Shockerabsurd for FA 50 AE DE (lots of caps and I'm not yelling) is probably the best description. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
