Greetings and Salutations!

 

Although not needed to purchase a handgun, you should get your FID, Firearms ID Card, if you don't have one. Need it to buy handgun ammo from a store in this state. You will also need a "Permit to Purchase a Handgun and Form of Register" for each handgun you wish to purchase. They are only good for 90 days and then can be extended for 90 days, so don't apply until you are about ready to purchase or they could expire before you use them.

 

I may be wrong here, but I thought an FID is needed to buy any firearms, handgun included. Besides, it's mostly all the same paperwork + fingerprints.

It's entirely possible to buy a handgun without a Firearm's Purchaser ID. If you don't have FPID you can still apply for a permit to purchase a handgun. It's foolish in my opinion since the process is identical, but legally, it's not a requirement.

 

Many police in NJ think that a FPID is a Firearms OWNERSHIP ID, meaning you must have one to own any firearm. It's simply not true, however a street cop who pulls you over and doesn't know the law might let you go if you have a FPID whereas he may detain you if you do not.

So to apply for my FID I need to go to my local police station? Around here that is the NJSP Barracks. Can i feel these forms out online?

Yes, go to your local PD unless your town doesn't have one then to your NJSP station.

 

Many but not all of the forms are downloadable from the NJSP website. They must all be handed in on paper. You will also need to pay various fees and get fingerprinted. Best to stop in there first to see what they need from you.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      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

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      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.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      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.
