Buying guns in a show at a different state?

[Rodrigo 0]

Hi everyone, 

 

I usually buy my guns at a gun store like everyone else, however this weekend Eagle Arms will be having a gun show in lake harmony PA (about 1 hour from me) and I know that prices from both vendors and gun owners are very affordable at this type of shows.

 

Here comes the question - Can I legally buy a long gun at an out of state show and have it shipped to a gun store in NJ for pick up? -

 

I'm planing to go either way but it will be much more fun if I can purchase something.

 

Please let me know

you can buy long guns from dealers there who will do background check and then bring it home with you as long as it NJ legal. No need to ship to NJ FFL unless it needs compliance work

 

Handguns require them shipped to NJ FFL

Prices at gun shows are not what they once were - the advantage though is the quantity of guns to be found there.

 

If the dealer at the show is an FFL, he can sell a long gun to you directly, at the show (providing you have your FPID with you - and you should print out some COE's to take with you also), and you take it home. Handguns have to be shipped (or carried) to a NJ FFL and the transaction completed there - you take delivery from the NJ FFL - for which you need a P2P.

 

Have fun.

 

Adios,

All correct info but there's another option if you want to buy a long gun from a non-FFL. Find a FFL who will do the transfer at the show. Seller brings the gun to the FFLs table, the FFL takes possession and transfers it to you at the show so you can take it home. I've never done this but have seen it done.

yes that is a option too Griz, I forgot that, because I bought my Mosin Sniper from a non FFL ammo vendor and we did the transaction thru his buddy who was a FFL

Just to clarify transporting its not an issue as long as the gun is NJ compliant right?

 

Also here is the show info if someone is interested http://gunshowtrader.com/gun-shows/split-rock-gun-show/

as long as you follow transport laws as you do here, secured in trunk etc..

 

When I go I bring a extra case or two and leave in trunk and then put them in them when I get back to car. Unless it's in a box already

Last Mosin I bought at a show the guy put it in a contractor bag and taped it up, tightly wrapped package. I threw it into an empty case I brought in the truck. Just to be extra cautious.

Buying at a Gun Show in PA. would be no different than

buying at Cabella's.

 

If you have a NJ FID card, make a LG purchase and they do the NICS there - you get to bring home.

 

If you have a NJ FID card and make a HG purchase, must be transferred into NJ through FFL to FFL transfer

and you p/u at your FFL in NJ.

 

 

Have fun at the show..............................
