YankeeFan 49 Posted December 30, 2010 OK, so here's another one for all the NJ law experts. I'm currently in SC at my brother's place and he has a pistol that he recently purchased and wants to give to me. I am still waiting for my FPID and handgun permits. What exactly needs to happen for him to legally transfer the gun to me? Do I need to wait until my permits come in? Should he just hold on to it until then? What happens when I do get the permits? Does he need to go to an FFL and transfer it to me via FFL transfer?? These dumb laws in NJ are driving me nuts!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Bob 1,489 Posted December 30, 2010 You're dealing with both Federal & NJ laws. The handgun must be delivered to you through a NJ FFL. That means that your brother will have to ship the handgun to the NJ FFL (and not all will accept from a non-FFL - check first. May be necessary for your brother to have a FFL holder where he lives ship it, although not required by law). Then you will have to jump through all the NJ hoops - FPID, P2P, OGAM to actually take possession. Good luck. Adios, Pizza Bob PS: If your brother ships it directly it has to go via UPS or FedEx next day or 2nd day air only. If an FFL ships it, it can go via the USPS - may be cheaper even with an FFL's fee for doing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savageshooter 10 Posted December 31, 2010 Yep, ditto to all of the above responses. I went through it a few months ago getting a gifted revolver from a Florida FFL to my FFL here. Outside of what's been said in this post, there's really no other way to get it here legally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
