Scorpio64 5,147 Posted March 15, 2019 As it stands now, no. You will be denied. Hire a lawyer. Expect that if you do apply, because of your previous conviction, you will be investigated thoroughly. They may even give you a DRE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted March 15, 2019 won't be so quick to call it a troll, but you ought to contact a firearms attorney to look into this for you. Odds are No, but they would be able to give you a qualified answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 15, 2019 No is a qualified answer... N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:1-4 - No permit to purchase a handgun or FPIC shall be issued to any person who: Has been “convicted of any crime” (under New Jersey law, a crime is an offense “for which a sentence of imprisonment in excess of 6 months is authorized);” Save your money. 1 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpio64 5,147 Posted March 15, 2019 1 hour ago, Maksim said: he should contact an attorney. I've heard rumors, that a non-violent offender, convicted of a felony has a slight chance of getting a FPID, if they can prove to a court (if he can find one willing to hear his case) if he can prove that he was basically a boy scout, went to church on Sundays and holy days of obligation and stepped around insects on the sidewalk. ever since then. It is possible, after a period of time, to have a record expunged. How the OP ran his own report, probably a website that does background checks, is dubious at best. If he applies for a FPID his conviction will almost certainly show up in a NJSP report and disqualify him. On the very slim chance the OP can get his 2A right reinstated, it will be a long and expensive process. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kman 56 Posted March 16, 2019 Don't forget the federal law too. You won't pass a NICS check, because a felony will bar you under Federal law from legally possessing or purchasing a firearm. If it was a state conviction you could potentially get it expunged. Hire a lawyer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 16, 2019 Call me tin-foil hat paranoid, but we need to stop this right now. Do you now how this looks, or how it will be interpreted by somebody like a member of "Moms Demand Action?" They'll say that we are helping/encouraging convicted felons to obtain guns. If the OP is not smart enough to contact a lawyer (and given the grammar and syntax of the post that may be) then i for one really could forego him joining the firearms community.

If he is, then now he knows that convicted felons do not easily get their 2A right restored, it's expensive and will involve a judge.

I'm going to agree with you. We need to slow down and "not pull the trigger" on brand new members until they have some history. We have no idea who they are, what information they could be trolling for, who they might be trying to set up, etc. I know you guys like to be helpful, but one of my favorite motto is: "Trust but Verify". Maybe take a pause, and try some qualifying questions to see what's behind the curtain first. Just an idea. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's included in the forgery statute. However, a bit more research on my part shows it's a 4th degree crime and that carries a maximum sentence of 18 months. Federal up to 20 years. It had to be a Federal conviction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adios, Pizza Bob Abso-flipping-lutly. He should just print up his own permits and leave us out of it. We are a law abiding group who often hammers people who want to do otherwise with guns. This situation should be no different. Stop aiding and enabling a felon to obtain a gun. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CapGuns&SnapsKid 33 Posted March 28, 2019 ANY CRIME will get you denied, ontop of that its a felony, you would have to wait at least 10years to even get an expungement hearing...and you only can expunge ONE felony...that's IF a judge approves of your dismissal., contact a 2a lawyer! I've seen and heard of NJ felons having their rights restored...so its a possibility! MONEY TALKS!!!! good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
