Laws concerning air rifles in N.J.

Recommended Posts

A friend of mine from P.A. has a Gamo Bone Collector .177 scoped air rifle that I am interested in buying. The only problem is is that it has a built in supressor. Is this gun legal to own in N.J.? What are the laws (if any) concerning supressors and airguns? I was also interested in a few air rifles/pistols I have seen online. Can they be shipped directly to me or do they have to be shipped to an ffl? Thanks in advance!

Not legal to own in NJ. As ridiculous as it may seem, and even though it has no Federal standing, the NJSP consider this the same as a NFA suppressed weapon.

 

Adios,

For the second part of your question

no, they cant be shipped directly to you, they are considered firearms in PRNJ

This is ridiculous! So compressed air is now considered fire? Is my nail "gun" illegal also?

It has been for a few years, as has the soft pellet guns.  Spring action with rubber pellets.  Also, try going outside with a toy gun without the color orange on the barrel. It's friggin' nuts.

I think the color orange on toy guns is a good idea and should be enforced. LEO's have to make split second decisions and trying figure out if a gun is a toy should not be one of them. However, I do agree the airgun laws are crazy here.

And no bad guy would ever paint the end of his pistol orange.

I was in cabelas in Delaware looking for a .22 air rifle. Unfortunately they can not sell them at that Delaware store because they are illegal for some reason!

 

So you went to DE Cabelas, went to get a .22 air rifle rather than .177, and they carded you, saw NJ resident and declined sale?

Any air rifle larger then .177 is illegal in Delaware. Even possessing ammo for one is a misdemeanor.

 

 

Really?   Are they trying to out-stupid NJ or something?

I have a .22 piston single shot air rifle. Why, I am not sure.

 

When I was shopping for one I read somewhere that it's impossible to tell in the field if the gun is actively suppressed or just quiet. Unless the warden has a real hardon that day for illegally quiet air guns I can't see you having any trouble. Then again we're all pussies aren't we?

    • 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.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
