DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted August 11, 2017 There's an outfit that is selling a ".50 cal ammo collectors pack", which is 5 different rounds of .50 linked together representing most of the rounds in active inventory in the military, primarily intended for display purposes. The ammo is live and includes tracer, incendiary, armor piercing and blank rounds. I'm interested in buying it for a "wall hanger" at home. I don't think there are any restrictions on simply possessing ammo *at home*, but want to double check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indianajonze 379 Posted August 11, 2017 So you're buying as decoration? Shameful. Shoot it!Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screwball 483 Posted August 11, 2017 With belt ammo, there is one issue to watch out for... having over 15 rounds linked together. There are a few semi-auto belt fed rifles in NJ. As long as it isn't 16 or more rounds linked together, it is good.Also, .50 BMG is not primarily used in a handgun, so no chance of anything coming up on that end... even though it will sit on the wall.Legal, as long as the seller is willing to send it in.

DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted August 11, 2017 Yep, as a Browning 1919 owner I'm very aware of the <=15 linked rounds issue. Ok, thanks gang, going to order it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,570 Posted August 11, 2017 If something is illegal to possess, it is illegal to possess "at home". One is not exempt from any laws inside their home. Speaking of illegal possession of ammo, IIRC, only armor piercing handgun ammo is forbidden. Tracers are okay to possess, just not legal to shoot.

PK, love ya, but that's an over-simplification. Hollowpoint ammo, for instance, is illegal to possess outside of exempted locations, of which the possesor's home is one such exempted location. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PK90 3,570 Posted August 11, 2017 I respectfully disagree. Precisely none of new Jersey's unconstitutional gun laws apply in my home. I am therefore exempt from these illegal laws in my home and on my property. Open carry is a perfect example...Sent from my SM-T710 using TapatalkGood luck in your dream world.

1563621 388 Posted August 11, 2017 I think open carry just might be an issue also. M1 carbine hanging on the wall just might be a problem also! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted August 11, 2017 Open carry of a NJ-legal firearm on property you own is legal, but that doesn't guarantee that your local law enforcement won't arrest and charge you anyway and compel you to prove it in court. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Stu 1,918 Posted August 17, 2017 You are ridiculousSent from my SM-T813 using TapatalkTechnically, he's not. Possession of a firearm without first obtaining a permit is illegal. You can be arrested for this.The fact that you're at home can be used as an affirmative defense because of the exemption.

You can make a claim that it was justified by asserting self defense. This is an affirmative defense. It doesn't stop you being arrested and charged and prosecuted. It may, however, prevent you being convicted if you succeed in court.The prosector's job is to assess the case and drop it if he believes that your assertion is likely to succeed thereby saving court time and expense.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Stu 1,918 Posted August 17, 2017 Being willed a firearm or bringing it with you when moving here from out of state are perfectly legal ways to be in possession without ever having obtained a permit. That's a way to become an owner of a firearm. When you transport it from the other state into NJ you had better follow the transport exemptions otherwise you will find it difficult to raise a defense if the gun is discovered if you're stopped on the side of the highway.

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk We're not talking about shooting someone though. That's an entirely different conversation. We're talking about carrying a firearm on your own property.

Mr.Stu 1,918 Posted August 17, 2017 So replace shooting someone with being caught in possession of a firearm. You are missing the fact that NJ gun laws work in reverse of almost every other law. Most laws tell you what you can't do. For guns that is to possess one without a permit. You just can't. This is what you get charged with. There are then exemptions which tell you what you can do which you can assert as an affirmative defense. I don't think you are understanding the difference between something that is not prohibited at all vs. something that is prohibited but can be excused under specific circumstances. In this case being in your home. There has to be a finding of fact that the affirmative defense applies in your case. E.g. that it is in fact your home, not your Dad's home, or your friend's home, etc. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on where you live and how hoplophobic your neighbors and local LEO are. Can you sit on your front porch that's 50 yards back from the street in Cumberland or Sussex county with a break-action shotgun on your lap? Yeah, probably not an issue. Do you also believe you can also sit on your front steps at a row house in Jersey City with an AR at low ready and not get a visit from the po-po and a free ride to the station if you persist?
