Requirements for Shotgun as gift, both parties in NJ

[pkovo 0]

Forgive me if a topic on this already exists, I looked but couldn't find it.

 

Basically, my father and I both live in NJ. He has guns, I do not. He has a shotgun he doesn't use, and would like to give it to me. My question is:

 

Do I have to obtain a FID to accept the gun as a gift? In looking through the NRA summary for NJ, it seems it falls into the "purchasing" section, and thus would require the ID, but I figured I would check.

 

I did find that if he were to pass away, it seems laws would let me take all of his guns without a need for the FID.

 

Worth noting, i have no convictions, no issues, certainly would qualify for the FID, I just don't want to get one unless I have to. I'm sur ethey will ding me for like $50 for the prints.

 

I also don't plan on taking the gun anywhere. Just want to keep in the house as a "just in case" type of thing.

Ha, man, this word association is great... but yes, you'll have to get a FID for long gun transactions (if we're talking about a sh0tgun here). Its worth it in the end, and it just takes a bit of money and time-- but nothing too painful for the time being.

No, a shotgun is not a gun.

T he only way for you to receive a g u n without a firearms purchaser ID is to inherit them and have them specifically mentioned in the will.

 

My advice is to just get a Purchaser ID and transfer the firearm legally. It will take a few months and cost you $63 bucks.

 

The Firearms Purchaser ID does not have to be renewed unless you move so it's something you'll have forever. May as well just get 'er done.
