It has to be transferred to a FFL in NJ. You then go there, pay their fees and NICS charges and the gun is yours. Edit to add, he could bring the gun to the FFL with you, it doesn't have to be shipped in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you post what area you are in, i'm sure you'll get a few good recommendations on FFL's that are great to deal with and offer good pricing on transfers, etc..

Scrap 4 Posted April 7, 2010 Is this possible to do without a current permit to purchase a handgun? i.e. if you have a current valid FID card, and have purchased a handgun legally validly recently, but don't have a permit at the present... Could you still be gifted the gun? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you still be gifted the gun? I believe the only legal way to receive a handgun without a valid permit to purchase a pistol, is to have the handgun willed to you, and the owner dies. As a condition of that, you would still have to not have any conditions which would prevent you from being issued a pistol purchase permit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebys 0 Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks for your help guys. Any recommendations for FFL's in Morris County? Ramsey Outdoor and Dick's are convenient -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
