I've never heard of one town writing tickets (or issuing FTA notices for) for violations that occurred in another town, let alone another state.

^^^^THIS^^^^^ Not that I think Booker would be good on 2A, nor would I ever vote for him, but he would be the lesser evil than Lautenmummy. At least Booker has a grasp of the new(er) reality in this country that guns will not be banned and the 2A applies to the People. Lautenberg is still stuck in 1975 with his ban all guns and ammo mentality.

Another example of how archaic NJ's permit system is.

You need a drivers license to DRIVE A CAR ON PUBLIC ROADS. You don't need a drivers license to BUY A CAR. In fact, you could have no training at all or the worst driving record ever seen, and you can still own a car, it only becomes illegal when you operate it on public roads. I can see an argument to be made to require training to carry a firearm in public, but to require training to simply own a firearm is just another way to discourage the "proliferation" of guns.

Good info.

Yeah, that's typical scammer BS. Never agree to a third party pick up. I won't take anything except cash as payment.

He's just some old codger lamenting over how things have changed. When he was a cop, some 50 odd years ago, revolvers were thought to be all any cop ever needed. Times have changed, he hasn't.

I got an FTA notice from Jersey City years ago for a parking ticket when I hadn't been there in years and for a vehicle I had never driven there. I called the court and they looked up the description of the vehicle written on the ticket vs the registered vehicle, they did not match (ticket written for a 1987 gray ford van, I owned a 1987 GMC 3500 mason dump). The ticket was dismissed based on the non matching description, did not have to go to court or anything. Call them, it should be resolved if your vehicle legitimately wasn't there. If also gotten violation notices from the several different agencies that use EZ pass (Port Authority NJ/NY and NY MTA). Apparently someone must have been taking black electrical tape and changing the 3's on their plate to 8's or something similar. When I called these agencies to tell them I wasn't the one who ran the toll, they got nasty with me telling to just pay up because they have cameras that will prove my vehicle was the one that didn't pay. My answer to them was, good then when you look at the picture you'll see that the registered plate number does not match the vehicle photographed going through the toll. The violations were dismissed upon review of the photos. Nowadays they send the picture automatically with the violation notice.

The good news is, there are no bids on it.

Were people actually paying these prices? or are these dealers just thinking wishfully?

They've never had any objectivity when it comes to guns. Believe it or not, I think they are actually a good bit closer to being objective than they were 20 years ago - back then they were openly advocating for guns bans, at least now they pretend to be objective.

It would depend on how the law is written. If the onus is only on the seller to do only FTF ammo sales, then NJ law will not apply to them outside of NJ, at least directly, and a buyer could not be charged. If the law is written to prohibit anyone from receiving ammo in a way other than FTF, the buyer could certainly be charged. Companies are not prohibited by law from shipping hi cap mags to NJ, what would they be charged with? NJ does not have any authority to charge anyone criminally for business conducted outside NJ. These companies won't ship them because the state has threatened to sue them if they do.

As other have said, the responses that say something like "do you still have it?" or "can I come see it?" and other very general questions are nothing but spammers collecting email address, and I wouldn't be surprised if the super low ballers are the same. When I post something on CL I always state in bold that the response must be a specific question to the item being sold and that general questions will be ignored. I once had a guy email me and claim that he was a deaf mute and wanted to buy what I was selling but I would need to call him and speak to a special phone system that would translate my words into text for him. I don't exactly recall what excuse he was using as to why I would need to call him as opposed to simply emailing, but I think he was claiming that was the only way he would be able to transfer payment to me. Knowing this reeked of scam, I decided to check the area code the number was from (he claimed to be in CA, but was going to move to NJ soon), the area code was from the Dominican Republic. If I had called that number, I probably would have gotten a $900 phone bill for the call, and since it would be coming from another country, FFC regulations and protections would not apply. I emailed him back and told him cash on pick up only.

Yeah, I'd have to agree this was a good move, might also be looking to keep out reporters and the like.

Probably not, but NJ will threaten to sue them (which they are doing already now, by insisting buyers have FID cards), which will get them to stop shipping here.

Even if you buy stuff over there, because of the GCA of 68, they cannot bring home any modern firearms, antiques are OK to send home.

Put that on my watch list to see if some schlub actually pays that much it.

Two words for you: Progressive press

I first I thought that was going to be some gouger pricing it that high, BUT 40 BIDS!!!!!! This is way worse than the 08 scare. I guess I finally figured out what would get me to stop buying guns for a while - answer, panicked buyers.

Your really tempting me to sell my ARs. But then I have separation issues when it comes to selling firearms.

OK, I demand a plan on how they are going to fix the mental health crisis in this country.

wat u meen? peoples rite gud on the internets

I remember in the 1980's going to Edelman's in Wayne and they usually had 4 or 5 AKs (Chinese Norincos) in stock. Then the Stockton, CA school shooting happened and the AKs were sold out and there was a sign on the wall that said "taking orders for AKs", so panic buying is nothing new. From what I remember, the Colt ARs were about $800 back then. I ended up buying a Mini 14 (for around $400) shortly after NJ's AWB went into effect since you couldn't get ARs for a few years because they were thought to be illegal in all configurations. That changed around 1996 (IIRC) when the state was sued over the AWB ban and the fact that "substantially identical" was a vague term. That's when AG Peter Venerio came out with the "evil features" list and declared any AR style that didn't say AR15 on it or have the "evil features" was legal.

They sell10 rounders as well.

I have 15 round "preban" mini 14 mags.
