Moving Back to NJ - Please confirm these law beliefs!

*Edit* I didn't see the NJ Gun Law forum, please move there mods!*

 

95% chance of moving back into NJ. Please confirm these NJ Law beliefs!

 

1) Magazine capacity is 15rds for both handguns and rifles (nice change since 2004).

 

2) Pistol weight limit ~51oz (specifics?)

 

3) Has anyone successfully bought one of those AR-15 pistols that is not a pistol or a rifle (OAL is 26''+, forward grip, no stock)?

 

4) Still only allowed 2 of 5 evil features [We can still Pin stocks, and silver solder barrel extensions]

 

5) The LAW still says temporarily modified magazines (30-->15rd) are legal. I heard that Corzine or some one issued a 'letter' to the NJSP but how is this legally binding?

 

I think that's it. I am familiar with transport and features (see #4), hollow-points for target practice only, no CCW for now, etc.

 

Cheers!

If they fit semi-autos. Since 199o.

2) Pistol weight limit ~51oz (specifics?)

Only for semi-autos and combined with an additional evil feature.

3) Has anyone successfully bought one of those AR-15 pistols that is not a pistol or a rifle (OAL is 26''+, forward grip, no stock)?

Name? If an AOW, they are not legal here.

4) Still only allowed 2 of 5 evil features [We can still Pin stocks, and silver solder barrel extensions]

One evil feature only. A detachable mag is only the qualifier.

5) The LAW still says temporarily modified magazines (30-->15rd) are legal. I heard that Corzine or some one issued a 'letter' to the NJSP but how is this legally binding?

Magazines must be "permanently altered" per the Admin Code, but not the Law. YMMV.

HPs are legal everywhere a handgun is.

Cheers!

Can you really use HP for HD ?

Lol. Thanks guys. (PK90+)

 

I am pretty sure the 1994-2004AWB limited handgun magazines to 10rds even in NJ, during those years. None-the-less, glad everything is 15rds today.

 

Not an AOW, let me link...http://www.franklinarmory.com/PRODUCTS_XO-26.html

 

It is NOT an AOW, and in Pa, not a rifle, or a pistol. It is just a 'Firearm'. Not sure how this fits into NJ, one must read the specifics and be fresh (normally I do this but I just don't have it in me after this week).

 

Looks like I will be storing a lot of things I would prefer for HD...

The Federal AWB applied to the sale of new magazines over 10 rds to non-LE or military. It had no effect on the possession or sale of magazines more than 10 rds made before the ban unless there was a state law in effect. You could still have magazines up to 15 rds in NJ if they were manufactured before the ban went into effect. You could own a 100 rd magazine in most states if it was manufactured before the ban.

 

I fully understand the desire to own something just because you can I still see little purpose for the AR and AK pistols other than having something that fits in a specific size box. They are cumbersome and not easy to shoot well for any prolonged period of time. You have to deal with a rather brilliant muzzle blast. Add about 6" in length and a few ounces in weight and you could have a legal, even in NJ short stock carbine. The vertical foregrip looks cool but its primary purpose is to aid control in FA fire.

 

Just my take.

^ Good stuff. Right on.

So are people using wooden dowels to block magazines or drilling a hole, putting a roll pin, and epoxying over it? What is acceptable? I guess no one has ever been challenged on the Admin Code thing vice the law...?
