djg0770 481 Posted January 28, 2010 I bought a gun on gunbroker from an advertised NJ FFL dealer. I assumed (stupid) that I could pickup the gun at the dealers location. This is not the case in this particular instance. I have to have this gun transferred to another NJ FFL. Basically, the seller does not do NICS checks. Why is not really important... If you are trolling the auction sites for guns in NJ and 'assume' that you can do a local pickup - learn from my mistake and check with the seller first.

axeman_g 128 Posted January 28, 2010 why wont he do a FTF transfer. He does not need to do a NICS, you both fill out the NJ Cert of Elig. (http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/fi ... sp-634.pdf) for a longgun or you prob have a permit for a handgun, he fills that in and away you go. Or is there a law that FFL holders can not do FTF with documentation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was a federal law. I know a guy who bought a gun from an FFL's private collection, and he still had to do the paperwork and NICS check.

Guest Posted January 28, 2010 n.j nics ck. are done by nj state police , most other states go through batf in west virginia - only nj licensed dealers can perform the check - makes me wonder about the legality of his ffl in this state - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caine 147 Posted January 28, 2010 Nice choice - if I eventually get a lever gun, that's gonna be the one I get. If you don't mind, what account name does he use on gunbroker so we can avoid making the same mistake? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRIZ 3,369 Posted January 28, 2010 why wont he do a FTF transfer. He does not need to do a NICS, you both fill out the NJ Cert of Elig. I know of dealers in other states (not NJ) who only do internet sales to other dealers and don't have or need sales tax certificates from the state and NICs accounts. This would be all legal but they have to send the gun to a FFL as they do not collect sales tax or do NICS. I really don't know if it is possible to do this in NJ.

Redfish62 1 Posted January 29, 2010 Very nice. I love shooting my Winchester94 30-30. The only problem is its a top eject and not fun when a round finds its way inside my shirt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
