I've been able to find PPU 10mm JHP for $20 a box / $.40 a round, and it's reloadable brass.

You would still need to comply with ATF and state requirements to get your licenses in your name, however the town would not be able to (easily) shut the business down for things like non compliance to zoning regs, even if ownership changes. At that point the business would be a non conforming preexisting use, that said, you would have to maintain the same location and could not change the scope of the business greatly.

Also, if they did try it, the argument would be that handguns cannot be purchased out of state, therefore there is a need for gunshops in NJ. Additionally, I believe I saw, that ruling was limited to sexually orientated business.

Before August (12 ????) of 1966 there was no requirement for PPP's to transfer handguns, they were bought, sold and traded like a knife would be today, no paperwork need. There is a slim chance his BIL inherited it and gave it to him before August of that year, if that were the case it would be 100% legal.

True, but there is a provision for dispatching nuisance varmints that are causing damage.

I have heard of gangbangers wrapping a semiauto in a plastic shopping bag when they go to do a drive buy or the like, catches the casings.

Worth buying and having the cash to spare are two different things.

If the handgun was given to him back in 1966 prior to August (12 ?????), when the PPP system went into effect, he would have come into possession of the handgun legally, and is not required to do anything. EDIT: I just noticed he said it was made in 1966, but you never know things could have transpired that quickly.

+1 I was going to say the same thing. It really annoys me when the news media use burglary and robbery interchangeably, you would think they would know better. Robbery = requires your presence and a threat Burglary = you are usually not present

IIRC this was the law for many years and Florio signed a bill that repealed the possession in motorvehicle law, as Caine said, as long as you are not using it to commit crimes. About the only thing Florio did that I actually agreed with. I used to be into scanners big time, I even have an old crystal scanner laying around somewhere. Sort of fell out of it when the cops started going to the computer terminals, there was a lot less to listen to.

+1 This is the law in most of Europe as well, and it does greatly minimize frivolous lawsuits. Lawyers have sanitized the way we live our lives in this country. This is why Remington went from having 2 or so pages in the owners manual for a model 700 made in the 1960's on how to adjust the trigger, to having non adjustable triggers in the 1980's.

The blades are made by Chinese companies under contract of US companies, the factories are not, as far as I know, American owned. The Chinese are, like the Japanese before them, copying whatever they see that they think they can make money at. About a year and a half ago I was at a trade show that had a lot of manufacturers of and parts suppliers for commercial lawn mowing equipment, which is still primarily made in the US and to a lesser degree Japan. What I noticed was a lot of Chinese companies that were new to the industry showing off parts (engines, molded fuel tanks, hydro pumps, spindles, gear boxes, etc.) at this show. It's only a matter of time before they start becoming suppliers of these parts.

The NJ seller can drop it off at a PA FFL to save you the shipping charges if you're not too far apart.

You clearly have no idea how the global world of manufacturing works. I'll give you an example of how companies are forced to move manufacturing off shore. One product I sell in my store is diamond saw blades for cutting concrete, stone and asphalt. These blades were all made in the US originally, then the Chinese started making them and selling them here, at a lot lower price. US companies were faced with a choice, make the blades in China, where they could produce them at the same cost or go out of business. So now, these blades cost about a quarter of what they did when they were US made, and all but the largest blades are made in China. These companies aren't moving manufacturing over to China to maximize profit, they moved it over there because the Chinese were selling the blades for less than it cost US companies to make them here, it's basic mathematics.

A lot of towns allow accounting, doctor and other "professional" offices to operate in residential zones. The NJSP is not going to give you a state firearms dealer license without town approval, these are two separate business that need separate approvals from the town.

Was out plowing for 14 hours, all finished now

If you are going to use a repellent, use ammonia, it's cheap and works.

Typically they would want to know all the details, what type of business, number of employees, expected traffic, parking situation, indoor activity only or outdoor as well, hours of operation (or at least they will TELL you what hours of operation are permitted) and what ever else they think might be relevant to the type of business you are trying to run. Some towns are lenient, and others are downright obstructionist. That's why you hear of some people being able to get approval in a residential zone and others getting put through the wringer even if it's a permitted activity for the zone.

Must go through an FFL, doesn't matter what state the FFL is in as long as that state doesn't have a contiguous states rule and the gun is legal in NJ.

FYI - What this company did to you is fraud and is illegal. Once a company takes payment for an item, they MUST deliver that item unless you agree to make a change. This is why most companies will not charge your credit card for backordered items. Under NJ law, they could face a $10,000. fine and be obligated to pay you 3 times the value of what was not delivered. I'm not saying this is worth pursuing, but they don't seem to be using good business practices.

I have a 1006 that I bought a long time ago, if you can find one of those, I would highly recommend it.

In NJ, it doesn't seem to matter because as soon as the dealer gives NICS your SBI number the personnel in Trenton have all your vitals anyway. In PA I've been told that it will take longer to run the NICS if you don't give it to them, I usually leave it blank and tell the dealer to read it to them off the back of my FID card (I have an older card that has my SS# on it).

All it takes to be a collector, is for you to tell them you are a collector. If you file a OGAM exemption and claim you want them for their collectible value, you will almost certainly be approved. It's not hard to do and takes about 4 + - weeks to get back from the NJSP, that's the way to handle this.

Most zoning regs exclude all or most business activity in residential zones, the zoning officer wouldn't need to prove it's not allowed, rather you would need to prove it is allowed under that zone. If your house is in a residential zone, you are going to have a tough time getting approval if your town doesn't want you running an FFL out of it. You would probably need to sue them if they deny your request for a variance, and even then it will be a long shot.

That's what I was thinking, I would check the ATF website before spending any money on that kit.
