Daedalus

Year for year here. I considered a Lifetime but then realized at my age I'm better off with smaller bites :pray:

I can't believe it took me so long to find the NJ Gun Forums! I've been reading a lot of forums for quite awhile and just discovered you folks. Glad to be here and happy to contribute what small bit of information I can.

Hi PK90 Yep - I've been there for awhile before I just discovered NJ Gun Forums. Thank God! I also read the PAOFA and often wished there was a NJ version - without the major flame storms. I can't tell you how glad I am to have found you folks.

John. I believe I may have been wrong. I tried to find the law to cite and see no prohibition. Perhaps I have fallen into yet another urban legend trap. I see nothing in this section precluding a FTF handgun transfer. Experts please speak up! N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.8 Written certification; delivery of permit to purchase (a) Any person receiving, purchasing or otherwise acquiring a firearm by exhibiting a firearms purchaser identification card shall sign a written certification on form NJSP 634, which shall indicate that he or she presently complies with all of the requirements for obtaining an identification card and does not suffer from any of the disabilities set forth in this subchapter. The certification shall contain his or her name, address and firearms purchaser identification number or dealer's license, and any other information deemed necessary by the Superintendent. If the seller is not a licensed dealer, the certification may be retained by the seller or it may be filed with the chief of police of the municipality in which he or she resides or, in all other cases, with the Superintendent. The seller shall retain the certification if he or she is a licensed dealer. (b) A permit to purchase a handgun shall be issued to the applicant in quadruplicate. Prior to receiving a handgun from the seller, the purchaser must deliver all copies of the permit to the seller, who shall complete all of the information on the required form. Within five days of the sale the seller shall forward the original copy to the Superintendent and the second copy to the chief of police of the municipality where the purchaser resides; provided that in a municipality having no chief of police, the second copy shall be forwarded to the Superintendent. The third copy shall be returned to the purchaser, and the fourth shall be kept by the seller as a permanent record. EDIT: Looks as if I am in error. Sorry for the confusion factor!

But we cannot do a FTF on handgun sales. They must go through an FFL.

When you purchase they call it in to the state, don't they? A second try in 30 days would get caught at the NICS check, I think.
