NJ resident Face to Face purchase while in the Military stationed in WV

Recommended Posts

I am an active duty military member stationed in WV, my home of record is NJ. I am looking to purchase a handgun from a friend, this will more than likely be a "handshake deal, as there is no paperwork involved. My question is 1, is this legal, and 2 is there anything I should do, or am required to do after completing the purchase and returning to NJ?

I'll nitpik a little here and go further saying make sure the mags themselves are NJ legal-15rds or less. Also get smart on the transportation laws, FOPA & NJ. We have a great Laws sticky here. BTW- my son is stationed in NC and I am in fact encouraging him to get a hg down there before his time is up, already got a nice AR

Active military at their permanent duty station may purchase firearms in that state. They must adhere to the laws of that state. Since WV FTF transfers are A-ok, you're A-ok.

 

This.^^

 

If you should come back to NJ, nothing is needed other then adhering to NJ's dumb laws(15rd limit). Registration is not required.

A friend of mine's son is in the Coast Guard stationed in Virginia. He has had problems purchasing down there because his DL is still NJ, so his son applied for a NJ FID while home for the holidays.

    • 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 
    • 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.
