NCGUNGIRL 1 Posted October 7, 2016 I'm here to try to understand the gun laws in NJ. I moved from a very gun friendly state (NC), and so far I am pretty uncomfortable with the gun laws here. I hope I can learn and contribute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJGF 375 Posted October 7, 2016 Welcome and good luck. NJ has a "different" way of looking at gun laws than the real America. Here you can first assume it is illegal. Then search for an exemption that allows it. Many of the statutes are conflicting which makes it easy to get it wrong. Forums like this are great. There are a number of sticky pages that will get you started. Keep asking questions until you find out what you want to know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,134 Posted October 13, 2016 Welcome. After you're settled in find a good place to try a pork roll, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich on a Kaiser roll. It is DELICIOUS! NJ doesn't like guns unfortunately for you. Fortunately, we REALLY like guns and can help answer questions you may have. First, you are under no requirement to register anything. Second, you'll prob want to eventually get a NJ Firearms ID card. Allows you to buy long guns and handgun ammo in NJ. It isn't a conceal carry permit. Those pretty much don't exist here. As mentioned by others there are stickies (top of handgun and rifle forums I believe) which will probably answer most of your questions. Feel free to ask anything though. Lots of helpful, friendly people here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Glock guy 1,125 Posted October 13, 2016 Welcome to our 2A community. We're kind of a rebel underground here in NJ. Speaking from experience, you can learn a lot more about NJ gun laws here than you can from law enforcement people and local gun stores. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
