I put it for my permits 3 weeks ago and of course I am still waiting which I don't really mind. The only problem I'm seeing is that when I go to a gun shop looking for a gun that I want they are very low in stock or there is a wait on it. Especially anything 1911 which is one of the guns I want. Is it legal for a gunshop to "hold" a gun for me. Let's say I pay for it first and then when the permits come in then I can go and pick it up. I didnt bother asking because the place I went to seemed to say there was a long wait on Kimber and Taurus 1911's and he didnt know when he would get anymore in. He assumed a 6 month to 1 year wait. Its just ridiculous that NJ only gives you a permit for 90 days when you literally might run out of time waiting for the gun you want. Even with the extension it might cut it close.

Shore Shot in Lakewood, minutes off of Exit 89 of the Garden State Parkway. I know it is a hike but might be worth the trip. Of course, I would call and see if they have what you are looking for before coming down.

Meltzers in Garfield (Bergen County) will put it in a safe for you.

Most places in NJ know the game and have no problem putting the gun in a safe. I buy guns at Davis sportshop just over the border in NY, (he has a ton of kimbers, and great prices) have it shipped to thunder mountain, and he will hold it for you until your papers come in.

This is not a problem.

Frank at the Silver Bullet will also hold firearms for you with a deposit. Just keep him in the loop if you are waiting for permits longer than anticipated. I had a pistol on hold for about a month with him expecting the permit to come in the next week.

 

If you purchased from him before, he may even hold them without a deposit like he did with a Mossberg 500A.

 

I bought my first pistol from Meltzer's. They held it for me while I was still looking around. Pricey but top notch stuff.

      Ignoring the Duty To Inform, this is definately going to be used against us CCW holders during the current court hearings.  Drinking and randomly shooting a gun out the window does not paint a good picture for CCW holders.

      Are handgun chassis legal in NJ?

      By ESB · Posted

      Getting a non-threaded barrel is easy.  I'd definitely consider it as having a form of a shroud for #3.  The question is does it actually violate #1?  If so is there another chassis option that does not have mag holder VFG?

      So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english.  #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that.  #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law.

      I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform"  A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th.  Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped.  what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of.    are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way,  what constitutes an encounter.  voluntary? involuntary?   time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack.
