Oh, wow. I was not even aware of that. This stuff blows my mind. However, I was mostly interested in hunting out-of-state. I don't know much, but I've been talking with a relative about a lot of it. And for a hunting caliber for the bolt-action rifle, I was thinking 30-06 or 308 That's useful to know. Thank you.

I'm not looking for anything crazy. I just want to understand - by FFL, you mean, Federal Firearms License holders, e.g., gun stores? Thank you for reminding me to try out one of the guns I'm interested in! I almost forgot about that.

Although it's a bit late now, I've finally gotten everything done with my firearms permit. There was a hiccup in the process because one of my references gave me a wrong e-mail address, so the investigator couldn't get in touch with them. I'm rather confused where to start in buying a gun. I've had experience and training with my uncle and grandfather when I was younger. I was taught to always treat a gun like it's loaded (don't point it at people you're not intending to harm) and I'm aware of some of the basic things in New Jersey (gun in separate parts of car in containers, keep a gun in the safe away from ammo in NJ, etc.). Where would I ask on this forum to get information on firearms? I wanted to get two guns for deer hunting, in particular. I wanted to see if I could get a Mauser 98 model style rifle in a common hunting caliber and a semiautomatic hunting rifle in 223. However, I'm really worried about getting ripped off or buying something bad and I have no idea where to start, and due to Covid most of my family is disinclined to meet up about this kind of stuff.

I believe in the protection of several rights in the Constitution and I've always supported the right to bear arms by individuals. When I was younger I heard a lot of celebrities and politicians talk about guns. I knew they had no idea what they were talking about already due to how they had said video games have caused an increase in violence when every statistic indicates otherwise, and that they were misrepresenting some things about firearms that were easily researched. Mind you, I couldn't tell you the difference between 9mm and 5.56 at the time, except one is a "pistol round" and the other a "rifle round." The best I could have done was say that .50 cal is "big"

Hopefully this isn't too much of a necro post. So, I had the police fine me a long time ago when I was young. I had no idea when. I called the police office where I'd had the fine (this was the answer to my question) and they had no record of it, so it must have been something that wasn't worth worrying about.

Thank you. How does one find out?

It is from an old RCA pamphlet, "Rip Discovers Radio" I could probably use a better version of the picture

Hi! So I'm completely new here. I've wanted a gun for a long time, as I've been a member of the NRA for more than a decade. The process of getting a gun in new Jersey has me worried, and I don't have a lot of money. I needed good people in my state who could help me understand gun laws, what I can buy and what I can't. I care a lot about the 2nd amendment, but I don't want to break any new Jersey laws, so I came here. I'm very glad I found this forum. If there is any particular sub-forum that I should go to to ask about buying a new gun in a store or an FFL holder? I haven't applied to the police for a gun registration yet, because I think I must have some intention of buying it first, but I don't know much about it. This whole process bothers me and I was just so worried to fill out forms and put the wrong thing in, only to get sidelined for a while. Thank you, and I hope it's good!

So, how'd you hear about us? I searched online and found this while looking up things about buying guns in New Jersey. How long did you lurk here before registering? A day or less. What prompted you to register? Wanting to know more about guns in New Jersey.
