So, what's the largest number of guns anyone has bought in NJ at once? I've bought three (at the Rahway FAGs) - one handgun, and then while waiting found two rifles to add onto the form while they were on hold.

A year or two or go the PASP decided that lowers weren't rifles. Until then, you could buy lowers at PA gun shows and it was great. I think the problem is that lowers are "other" - instead of long gun or hand gun....

I don't know where you travel, but I travel all over the world, and generally find airport security more intrusive and annoying in most other countries. Security in EWR, for example, takes about 60 seconds for a seasoned traveler, but there is no way you're getting through LHR without talking to someone, and more than half the time they actually pat down every single person getting on a plane. Not saying things aren't terrible, the gov't isn't out to get us, etc. Just saying that US airport security is not a good example.

They are around $1300...

...before I end up on someone's watchlist? I have 3 of the custom lowers on order, and another member has asked if I'd like to buy his order slot. What's going to happen when they call up NICS and they say it's for 4 long guns?

You wanted a gold engraved gun, but didn't think you'd need to spend more than $1000? Desert Eagle's are frequently available in gold-plated finish, and they are pretty g-money dope.

I gotta get some more permits...

I bought a lot of stuff from Midway, probably more than $10K in the past 3 years. I'll tell them I am stopping. There's no reason for them to be following this rule, and there are plenty of other well-run firms that don't share this half-a** legal opinion.

This is a terrible sentence to read on these forums, and you should rethink this.

Except that none of the other dealers did this (or maybe one?). Dunkelbergers gave in like a Frenchman at a German bath house.

Do a web search. Some like them, but everyone agrees they are high priced. They do have reloading supplies, and even had primers during the supply crisis 4 years ago. However, be aware that they signed a consent decree with NYC that means you fill out NYC paperwork if you buy a gun there, and your transaction is recorded and videotaped for the purposes of the NYPD. Some people like me are mad enough about that we don't shop there anymore. Do a forum search for a frothy debate about this issue.

Or can't visualize the setup from your description.

Wrong, happens all the time, every day. You can use 4 permits in the allotted 90-days without an extension, and almost all PD's will give an extension for another 90-days.

Exactly what I was thinking.

So, it's actually a $62.50 transfer fee, which sounds pretty much average.

I've never gotten an Amazon Prime shipment in more than 2 days, and usually in 1. My packages aren't coming from Parsippany, though.

Ruger Scout Rifle = bolt action (right?), so no assault weapon rules apply to it. You can add an adjustable stock, bayonet lug, 2 flash hiders and a chainsaw and it will still be legal.

Almost all the events are over by 1pm, and certainly by 2pm for most.

In NJ, it could have an adjustable stock, bayonet lug, flash suppressor and a chainsaw. If it's not semi-automatic, you can add whatever features you want and not have an assault rifle....

Hey! We agree on something! I think Amazon was going to end up getting sued by NJ and be forced to collect sales tax. This is happening with them and several other states. By making this deal with NJ, they still have to start collecting NJ taxes but get a good location for a distribution center and a tax break. So, probably a smart move on Amazon's part that doesn't change their sales tax profile (since they were eventually going to have to collect NJ taxes) but gets them a good location. Many very, very large internet companies go to enormous lengths not to do any business in states like NJ, to avoid collecting taxes. For example, Tire Rack won't even allow a Tire Rack banner to be flown at races at NJMP that they're sponsoring! They are afraid a court might consider that "doing business in NJ" and force tax collections on them. It's crazy.

Unfortunately, clearly illegal IMHO with the legal definitions. 2C:39-1w: Assault firearm is a " (4) A semi-automatic rifle with a fixed magazine capacity exceeding 15 rounds." and a magazine is: 2c:39-1y: "Large capacity ammunition magazine" means a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm. So, a fixed magazine with more than 15 rounds, and the inclusion of "tube" in the second piece seems to make them pretty much illegal....

I have a giant shoebox of these things; I'm saving them up to throw at any home invaders. They will sing!

A rare time when I'll fully agree with Patriot Oak; you should tell us the details of the transaction.

I have a recent M9A1, purchased at the Rahway FAGs. I've now shot close to 1500 rounds, and I'm thinking about cleaning it soon. Not a single (absolutely 0) failure of any kind. Using Magtech and WWB ammo. The gun is fantastic. Maybe a little heavy for some people, but it feels great in my hands.
