Did the ban on private sales go into effect? What's the protocol now? What are gun shops charging? Does buyer or seller pay or is the fee split?

Not saying it is right just stating what they did. It is even worse for the government to infringe on law abiding citizens 2nd Amendment Rights by forcing them to go to FFL.

100% agree with you..

I wonder if anyone tried to challenge that CA max fee law. I would think it would in the end be found unconstitutional  but i might be wrong.

When I did my interview with the ATF, the agent didn’t know about the upcoming law change. Mentioned it to her, and she was kind of shocked that NJ allowed that exception (03 to 03).

Still had to sign a form that states I am aware that NJ does not allow firearms to be sent directly to my home (in regards to stuff being acquired). I am interested how new interviews go... and if they have any differences in how the FFL-03 can be used.

I see... I would think at this point ship to your home would be acceptable.

Did something change when I was in there and that guy was there? Like NJSP Firearms or the NJ AG realizing they have to follow the law as written and signed?

I might email the CMP and see about it... kind of want another Garand.

If you still needed to goto a regular dealer and pay a transfer then the FFL03 would be useless as  its strictly used to save the nics fee or am i reading this wrong

That is what he said that day. Which is BS. It would only save on NICS in NJ. Can still go to PA or any other free state and get any C&R you wanted and bring back.

 

Double check with him. Curious.

Ok. On the phone he addressed selling which I knew. In person he addressed receiving to which I asked if I buy Poconos house can I have sent there if I have FFL03 in PA and he replied why not.

I wouldn’t buy anything like that (Garand... not something on my regular list... just s***s and giggle purchases) if I can’t get it shipped to me or pickup myself (PA... didn’t go to the past Oaks show, but likely the one near Christmas if I’m still around)... I’ll just wait until I move/change address on my FFL-03, then have stuff sent directly.

I can’t wait until I can have a C&R eligible AR sent straight to my house. Don’t think I’m getting a M1 Carbine, as I’m siding with a Fulton Armory reproduction (new receiver... likely the regular stock and a M1A1 stock for kicks).

In regards to this topic, I am very interested in how it pans out with the current law. For the few people stuck here, maybe they can make something good come out of it.

If i'm not mistaken a few years back when this FTF thing came up it was written as the dealer was unable to add any transfer fee's. The response was no one will do those transfers then...  The actual new law did not include that.. they must have figured out the government cant tell a private company what they can charge for their services.. Just as i can tell my landscaper ill cover his gas for cutting my lawn.

 

Ok fair enough, time is money and thus a fee. But what about the logging the gun into the books part, why? Is it required by law?

It’s how it’s done

Even part of the fed rules according to the guidelines

 

Only difference was at what point to enter into the book unless I missed something.

 

Still need 4473 filled out

this is the problem, it's not a transfer that an ffl is facilitating.  the rule is to run nics for private parties.  Failing to see how this becomes a transfer with a 3rd party involvement


You can call it what you want, work on dealers end almost the same

So is it that a nics check triggers a mandated log in?

I don't know if they can Federally run NICS without a transfer.

It requires a 4473 which is kept by the dealer forever

Not sure log outside of Nj utill nics approved

well that's some bullshit because the message is quite different.  Not your fault Steve, you are Aces in my book.
 
Like I said earlier, I see people that have known each other, family etc not even doing this. 


It does suck but think of this scenario. Buyer and seller go to FFL. Seller wants his money, buyer gives it to him, and pays dealer for NICS and transfer. This is how it would be done it in PA. PICS is instant so if denied money can be given back to buyer and seller wasted his time. Dealer is not returning money.


Now being NJ NICS is not instant. Seller leaves firearm with dealer. He is paid and done. Dealer must check into his book since he may have it for 3 days. Buyer comes back and gets it if approved, but if denied his only realistic option is to ask dealer to sell on consignment. Since it is checked in dealers book not a problem. Now if buyer is really nice and offers a refund to buyer dealer would have to again run NICS on seller and transfer back to him. Most dealers would do for just the cost of NICS and seller can deduct this from buyers refund.


I agree Most people will follow the old rules with people they know.

Just spoke to Atf. My original statement was correct.
Buyer/seller arrive
Gun gets checked In to book
4473 then nics
Buyer approved leaves with gun

such bs

 

I think the fee is going to be buyer and seller or buyer or seller.  I personally am not buying anything where I have to pay that transfer fee unless it's new.  People will have to adjust their pricing accordingly imho.  seeing lots of chatter on this topic

 

NJ is funny, people add what they paid for the nics etc into their price.  We will see a lot of firearms sit unless pricing reflects it accordingly

Reread the document from ATF.

IMHO, if there is a delay or deny, the seller should retain possession, not the dealer. The dealer retains the 4473 and collects the $15 (and fee if they want).

Atf document mentions Nj nics fees?

 

I called the Atf agent local and he confirmed it. Might be Nj added some rules no clue . Tried to call them and no detectives were in

Just curious

Will a seller drive to meet at a dealer and leave with out being paid if a delay or would the seller pay for a gun that the seller is leaving with?

Not a dealers problem. Run the NICS, get your money. The money for the sale is between the seller and buyer.

Yes i know that. Just seems like an archaic method lol

 

If I was the seller on a delay, I'd get the money for the firearm, if the buyer is willing to pay (not knowing if a denial will come, then he is out the money), and leave it with the dealer. DONE. Seeya.

If I was the buyer and got delayed, I wouldn't pay for the firearm because I might be denied. I would wait for the NICS result.

If I was the dealer, I'd collect the NICS and Transfer Fee up front, then let the two figure it out.

Can an 03-FFL Holder who lives in NJ, purchase C&R long guns from an FFL in another state without NICS? (yes? Right) Can said 03 holder purchase a C&R handgun in PA?

 

Yes/no... Federally, it is handled as any other FFL transfer. Signed out of the seller’s book, signed into the FFL-03’s book. However, it is the selling FFL’s decision on handling as such or requiring a NICS/declining the sale. If they say no, it is not like I could wave my license (well, copy of license), and force them to do it.

 

Yes... but again, seller’s discretion. But you can buy from a non-licensee, as well. Just need to put DL number in the book. If a FFL-03 sells a handgun outside of state, must go to an FFL, and not to a non-licensee.

 

In regards to coming back to NJ, make sure the gun/magazines are legal, and follow the transportation laws.
