Hi Kevin.

 

Welcome.

 

If you're planning on buying any guns this year, buy them before you leave. It'll be anywhere from 40 days to 6 months after you fill out the paperwork in NJ before you're going to be able to purchase any firearms or handgun ammo here. This also applies to .22 since it can be used in a handgun even if you only use it in a rifle. You can buy it online at some vendors so all hope is not lost.

Also, I saw your post on Rugerforums, the one person gave you incorrect information. You will not need to register any firearms when you arrive in NJ. They are your guns, you are 100% legal, including hanguns. You may use them for any legal purpose including having them in your home, trips to the range, gunsmiths, hunting or transport out of the state. *note* Any guns must adhere to NJ's assault weapon ban. If they do not, you must sell them before you arrive. It mostly has to do with Semi-autos, "evil features", and mag capacity. If you have any specific questions be sure to post about that item.

 

I would certainly suggest you get your firearms purchaser ID when you arrive. It is NOT a firearms owner ID. The card is for purchase only, it does not convey any legal ownership status to guns in your possession but some cops that don't know the law believe you must have one to own a firearm and this is incorrect.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have already received some good advice. Where in NJ were you considering moving? Some municipalities are far better for firearms owners than others.

 

Adios,

Ha Ha! We are moving to the Florham Park area. My wife's company offered her a promotion. It's 2 years in the NJ office, then on to somewhere else. Guns or not, it was just too good to pass up.

 

And yes, in regards to guns in Illinois, I am used to being treated like a second class citizen with something to hide. It also sounds like New Jersey, the law is open to interpretation, and different gun dealers have different "rules".

If it wasnt for the job opportunty I wouldnt even think about moving to NJ! First its definetly a very stringent and overzealous state as far as firearms but thats nothing compared to the property tax, insurance (home owners and vehicle..etc) and from what ive been recently reading its the second most expensive state to live in over all out of the 50+ states in our union next to Hawaii. If it wasnt for my youngest having most of our immediate family in this state we wouldve BEEN gone!Two in college one to go.Any how for what its worth welcome to "Dirty Jersey". Get that FID and find a local range and burn some powder w/the rest of us!

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
