Thanks all. For those that asked I am getting a home inspection done in the Morristown area. Hopefully this one pans out.

LOL! Yes, quite nicely!

Hello, I am Dave. A veteran of OIF '06 - '07. I am moving to NJ soon, as soon as we can close on the house. I own a Glock 19C, carried a M249 for 16 months, left the Army Reserve in June and looking to finish my degree.

:shock: Good lord it cost me $375 every two years for that permit AND I had to bring any new handgun in to 1 Police Plaza for an inspection. I... I can't believe it could be so simple. So as far as HP ammo and committing a crime, does it come down to "well he shot a guy in his own house but we don't think he was justified so therefore we are going to add the crime of using HP ammo" ? Or do home owners actually get to exercise their right to self defense? Thanks for the welcome. I guess I will add an intro up there.

Hi, I am new to the boards here and I have been doing a lot of reading of the forum. I think I am getting my head around the issues of owning a handgun in NJ but I really am not hearing any definitive answers or my particular situaton. I have a current valid NYC premise permit and own a single hangun with 2 boxes of hollow points of the same make and model that the Nassau County NY PD uses (Speer Gold Dot). I called the municipality PD that I am planning on moving to and asked what I needed to do to be legal. Now, my expectations of the process are based on what I had to do to get the permit in NYC so I guess I confused the guy. Here is what I think I am getting out of all this, please correct me if any of this is wrong. -Transportation to my new residence has to be done as prescribed by NJ (in a box, trigger lock, no ammo). -I do not need to register the handgun. The detective told me that my registration in NYC is registration enough. Here is what I don't get. He made it sound like I didn't have to do anything at all other than bring it to my new house. I started asking for clarification and he thought I was talking about surrendering it to the police. Very odd, so I cut my losses and ended the call. So here are the questions I wanted answers to before it got weird. -Once in NJ and living at my new place, do I have to get this FID? This forum makes it sound like I need an FID to get ammo or purcahse new new handgun. I don't care for a new firearm at the moment, what with the move and all. -what do I need to shoot at a target range as far as ID goes? -Should I just let the NYC permit expire? I guess I have to but it seems like following the advice of the PD (not doing anything) means that once the NYC permt expires then I have absolutely no permit at all. This seems weird to me. I know NYC is very restrictive, but NO permit for premise in NJ? Really? I need clarification. I know I need to apply for this FID for a new pistol, but I don't need or want another one yet. At least not for a while.
