With Christie coming into office soon we have a better chance than we have had in the past 4 years. Also we have to keep trying.. Remember some of the states that have "shall carry" now didn't have it before and it took them years to get it passeds Thanks

Let's do the right thing and get this bill alive again. Sign the petition to change the New Jersey CCW laws to "shall issue" We have close to 200 Signatures... Keep them coming. http://www.change.org/actions/view/new_ ... t_to_carry

I really wanted to purchase one of these hopefully they wont have anymore recalls.

I was doing some research and would like to know which Bullpup style rifles are NJ Legal. Also if you own one I would love to see some pics. Thanks

I decided to go with the SIG 556. Solid Company, Solid Firearms.. Its a bit pricey but worth the price. Plus I was looking for a 5.56 NATO Chambered Rifle.

I do agree though with maksim. I recently purchased a Sig Sauer P239 from Shore Shot and basically without even asking, he ordered it for me at the same price Buds was listing it at.

Sent you a PM back thanks.

Buds has free shipping on most firearms. Plus they save you on the tax upfront although you do have to claim it later in your tax returns.

I am currently looking for an FFL that would take delivery on a SIG 556 #006 and make it NJ compliant by soldering/welding the break, adding the 10 rnd mag and pinning the stock. (I really do not like the Nj friendly sports version which is configured by SIG) I am looking to purchase the rifle online and have it transfered to an FFL that will make these mods for a fee. Hopefully small friendly fee. Thank you

Doesnt the Florida CCW require some sort of Firearms training course to qualify? This is what I found and was told a class is required to be approved. http://www.rafire.com/training/training_pds_flccw.htm http://www.flsenate.gov/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=Ch0790/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=Ch0790/Sec06.HTM (h) Demonstrates competence with a firearm by any one of the following: 1.

Completion of any firearms safety or training course or class available to the general public offered by a law enforcement, junior college, college, or private or public institution or organization or firearms training school, utilizing instructors certified by the National Rifle Association, Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, or the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; 4.

Yeah thats what I am thinking as well is to have any changes made in another state to make it NJ legal and then have it FFL transferred to NJ.

Haha.. Thanks for the info though. Its better to know the "what if" before buying anything getting ffl into NJ. I think they require it if your buying just the lower. In New Jersey it will be almost impossible to own a gun within the next 5-10yrs. Especially if the dems keep coming in office. Corzine's new running mate already stated she has fought the gun lobby for years. We have to make an effort to get anyone and everyone out to vote this coming election.

Really? Hmm I thought it was considered a rifle and not a pistol. In PA you mean? Yeah I will have to check into that.. That would be weird since PA Gun Laws are much more gun friendly than NJ. Thanks

Yeah I am noticing prices have come down allot since the beginning of the year. Seems like you can pick up a good AR to start with for about $900-$1000 and then add upgrades from there. Does anyone know of any dealers in NJ that will make an AR NJ compliant if its transferred via FFL? Thanks

So it sounds like I am better off having my cousin buy it in PA and have him make it compliant and then do an FFL transfer to NJ to make sure there are no issues if I decide to go with a non compliant model?

Anyone know of anything about the S&W M&P15 MOE? Seems like a good setup and looks like its a 5.56 NATO. Obviously they would need to modified to make the NJ compliant. I have seen them online for about $980.

Can you just remove it and leave it off for NJ? Or do they require it to be welded/soldered on only or the option of a non threaded barrel?

So if I buy a non compliant AR I will have to pay the FFL Dealer to have it welded or soldered on correct? Along with pinning the stock? What a pain in the @$$.

Which model of the M&P15 did you get? Also did you get it in NJ? I am shopping for one right now. Seems like Buds has the best prices so far.

I am looking to purchase my first AR as well and all this info has my head spinning. :shock:

http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/about/fire_hollow.html Provided certain conditions are met, a sportsman may transport and use hollow point ammunition. There are no restrictions preventing a sportsman from keeping such ammunition at his home. N.J.S.A 2C:39-3f(1) limits the possession of hollow nose ammunition. However, there is a general exception that allows for the purchase of this ammunition but restricts the possession of it to specified locations. This exception provides that: (2) Nothing is sub section f (1) shall be construed to prevent a person from keeping such ammunition at his dwelling, premises or other land owned or possessed by him, or from carrying such ammunition from the place of purchase to said dwelling or land . . . [N.J.S.A 26:39-3g (2)]. Thus a person may purchase this ammunition and keep it within the confines of his property. Sub section f (1) further exempts from the prohibited possession of hollow nose ammunition "persons engaged in activities pursuant to N.J.S.A 2C:39-6f. . . ." N.J.S.A 26:39-3f. (1). Activities contained in N.J.S.A 26:39-6f. can be broken down as follows: 1.A member of a rifle or pistol club organized under rules of the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and which filed its charter with the State Police; 2.A person engaged in hunting or target practice with a firearm legal for hunting in this State; 3.A person going directly to a target range, and; 4.A person going directly to an authorized place for "practice, match, target, trap or skeet shooting exhibitions." As with other ammunition and firearms, a sportsman would have to comply with the provisions of N.J.S.A 2C:39-6f and g when transporting hollow nose ammunition to a target range. The ammunition should be stored in a closed and fastened container or locked in the trunk of the motor vehicle in which it is being transported. The course of travel should be as direct as possible when going to and leaving from the target range with "only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances." N.J.S.A 2C:39-6g. If the sportsman's club member plans to hunt with a rifle and use hollow nose ammunition in a state where this is permitted, he must comply with the provisions of U.S.C.A. 926A and N.J.S.A 2C:39-6(f) and (6)(g), which is consistent with the federal law, in transporting the firearm and ammunition. The firearm should be unloaded and neither the firearm nor the ammunition should be readily accessible from the passenger compartment. If the vehicle does not have a trunk, the firearm and the ammunition should be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or the console. 18 U.S.C.A. 926A. In addition, the sportsman should have a valid hunting license in his possession from the state in which he plans to hunt and should be familiar with that state's gun laws. N.J.S.A 2C:39-6(f)(2) requires a person hunting in this State to have a valid hunting license in his possession while traveling to or from the hunting area. Hunting with hollow nose ammunition is permitted in New Jersey. In the case of a New Jersey resident traveling to another state to hunt, it logically would follow that the hunting license would be from the state where the hunter is going. Although the federal statute does not require possession of a hunting license, it does require that the person transporting the firearm be going to a state where possession of that object is lawful. A valid hunting license from that state effectively supplies the proof. These conditions for use and transport of hollow nose ammunition are consistent with the legislative intent to restrict the use of such ammunition to a limited number of people. It is well established that in construing a statute exceptions are to be "strictly but reasonably construed, consistent with the manifest reason and purpose of the law." Service Armament Co. v. Hyland, 70 N.J. 550, 558-559 (1976). The State Supreme Court has "characterized the Gun Control Law as 'highly purposed and conscientiously designed toward preventing criminal and other unfit elements from acquiring firearms while enabling the fit elements of society to obtain them with minimal burdens.'" Id. at 559. - I thought this would be great to share it with the group. Print this out and keep it with you when transporting would be a good call

Thanks for all the information.. You guys are awesome.

Is the Mossberg 500 Tactical NJ Legal? Been getting mixed answers from ppl. 18.5" Standoff Barrel Thanks Singh

Hey Guys, An update for my FID card and 2 Pistol Permits. Applied exactly 6 weeks ago and just got a call today to make an appt to come pick them up. So looking to pick up a Glock 30. Thank you Marlboro Twp and The New Jersey Gun Forums for all your help and guidance.

Just keep calling them once a day and be polite when you do. They will get annoyed with the daily calls and push it through. Crazy isn't it? Seems like anything in NJ is almost impossible...
