Handguns can be bought and sold FTF with a COE, a matching DL, and a valid Permit to Purchase a handgun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnp 45 Posted May 27, 2013 Yay..I'm not average I tried to word it "nicely" so I didn't get barraged with accusations of hating all cops. Obviously the cops who are into firearms in their personal life will know the laws better then those cops who only see guns as a tool for work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted May 27, 2013 FWIW, a COE is not necessary for a private handgun transaction. DL, FID and P2P. All copies are marked to tell you where they go. Mail them within a week and life is good. C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted May 27, 2013 I dont know where you are getting your information from but STOP listening to them. First you said yesterday that pistol ar's are illegal from what you heard. Now you ask this? Alot of people on here will gladly help you straighten out those mythical laws you been hearing. Or look for "johnp" and click on the signature he has about NJ gun laws or from "vladtepes" its on his signature as well. I learned a whole lot from these guys in this forum, I suggest you ask them.

Handguns can be bought and sold FTF with a COE, a matching DL, and a valid Permit to Purchase a handgun. ?? Long Guns Yes a COE is needed but no P2P, Hand Guns NO, you can do a a F2F with a P2P and FID and DL no COE required and technically neither is a FID with a P2P in hand...

gene563 0 Posted July 19, 2013 I apologize in advance for the ignorance, but I am very new to gun ownership. Is there a glossary for the acronyms used here? I got the "FID",but P2P, COE, F2F, etc. I got dizzy after reading some of these posts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millsan1 3 Posted July 19, 2013 P2P = Permit to Purchase (handgun) COE = Certificate of Eligibility (for long arms transfers) F2F = Face to Face DL = Driver's License TLA = Three Letter Acronym (used by people to prove they are "in the know") Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnoldr 0 Posted July 29, 2013 great information. if I may ask, if doing a FTF transaction (pistols or long guns), where does the NICS check come in ? Is that still required ? thanks arnoldr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted July 29, 2013 great information. if I may ask, if doing a FTF transaction (pistols or long guns), where does the NICS check come in ? Is that still required ? thanks arnoldr The equivalent of a NICS check was done at the time that the buyer obtained their FPID or P2P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnoldr 0 Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks Jon, That's what I was thinking, a more thorough background has been done prior to the issuance of the FID and/or P2P. I'm curious then as to why a NICS is done when you go buy a firearm from a dealer and/or transfer thru a FFL. arnold r. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The checks at the Police Dept level are done to comply with State Law. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJM981 924 Posted August 1, 2013 The check at a dealer is in order to comply with Federal Law. The checks at the Police Dept level are done to comply with State Law. My answer would just have been, "There are two checks done because this state is ass backards." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
