Private pistol sale

[Rob0115 1,107]

Does it require a COE or just the P2P? Are the copies marked where they need to be mailed? I know one for me, one for the buyer, not sure about the others.

 

Thanks.

You will need FID card # of seller (which is one seller's FID card). Buyers should be on pistol permit. You should each have NJ driver licenses, and buyer's address needs to match permit. Seller's address needs to match addresses handwritten in on permit. The seller has (5) days to get the copies to the respective state police and buyer's issuing agent (local state police barracks or local PD department).

No Coe for pistol sales ...only valid pistol permit with matching addresses on dl/fid/pp....and as patriot oak said mail off appropriate copies to the agencies listed on the copies within 5 days

On P2P form, for private sales fill out bottom left hand corner. Sales through FFL go in bottom center.

So we have multiple people answering with conflicting answers. Which is it? COE needed or not?

Coe not needed for handgun, only long guns.

COE is only for long guns. Permit to Purchase for handguns. That is all.

If issuing PD is NJSP, do both copies go to Trenton, or does one copy go to the local Barracks?

Is there a particular State Police location that permits need to be mailed to?

And the stupidity regarding the pistol purchase permits rears it's ugly head again.......... So, you have a handgun for sale, and someone wants to buy it. The person comes to YOUR house, or a gun range, since you can't bring it to THEIR house, to do the transaction. You, the seller, can only hope that the person is legal, even though they have a PPP in-hand, you don't know what has transpired since the permit was issued, do you? You also have no idea when the buyer may have last purchased a handgun. What if it was the day before? You wouldn't know it would you? You have no way to find out either. That is why these permits are a ridiculous waste of time. Handguns should be treated the same as a long gun, do the COE, PLUS, we should be able to run a NICS check prior to signing the form by logging onto the internet and actually checking on the buyer. That would make sense, but this state and our government in general usually lack any type of sense............... So OP, no, you do not use a COE for a handgun transaction. The buyer must have a valid PPP, check the date. The name and address on the PPP must match their DL and FID card, if not, deal is off. It is up to the buyer to make sure they have not purchased another handgun within 30 days, not you. You then have five days to get the yellow and white copies of the PPP to the correct locations. Blue remains with seller, pink goes to the buyer.

Thanks for the detail and it answers my questions on who gets what copy but where does the permit go back to with respect to the state police?

 

When sending to municipality to who's attention do you send it?

THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON THE PERMIT!!!

[Rob0115 1,107]

OK--I am incredibly stupid.

THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON THE PERMIT!!!

 

And the whole buying/selling process is detailed in our Gun Laws sticky here including the simple easy to read flowchart PK90 put up.
