Needing an FFL to transfer handguns across state lines is a federal statute. I can't help you with central Jersey FFL's since I'm up north, but I'm sure someone else will.

NJ only uses pistol permits at the time of purchase or other transfer, each permit is valid for one handgun transfer. There are exceptions to needing a permit to transfer a pistol such as when you inherit them. Handgun registration is not mandatory in NJ and the police would not keep records of transfers though inheritance. She would only need a copy of the will or disposition of your father's estate to prove legal ownership in NJ. If there is no written record of your father's wish to pass them to you, they legally they belong to your mother and you will most likely need to have them sent to an FFL in NY and do your transfer there according to NY law.

I doubt Barberio is going to tell the chief to do less investigation on gun permits. You are totally correct that this system is BS. The PD can check in less than 5 minutes that you haven't commited any crimes since the last time you got permits. The chief is going to go through the motions so if someone does misbehave with a gun after the PD's approval, he can say he did everything possible to protect society from this person. The system needs to be changed. The PPP's became obsolete when NICS went online. I always get multiple permits when I apply. If they are going to make you pay $18 to apply and wait a month or more to get them to you, why not? The most you have to lose is $2 a permit at that point.

It's not actually a law, it's a SP rule that tells the town they are supposed to collect this fee. Some chiefs are deciding not to collect this fee because they know it's BS to keep collecting these fees every time you apply. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can realisticly do to get your town to not collect this fee.

I have heard this about only signing on the 30th of the month and I doubt it's true. Parsippany takes 4 - 5 weeks to process permits because the chief is a stickler for going through the entire investigation process everytime you apply. It could be a lot worse, you will read horror stories on this forum about permits taking 2 - 6 months. FYI - the county does the mental record check, not the SP

This is certainly true! Also, who's going to repair it when it breaks? Even if it's still under warranty most small equipment dealers won't work on them because they're junk, they can't get parts for them and they didn't sell it to you in the first place.

After three days behind the wheel plowing, I'm finally done. All I can say is Cha Ching. At least I know all the bills will get paid this winter.

A Leadsled and a pistol rack

I have both an Rem 870 (late 80's vintage) and a Mossberg 590 and I would have to say the Remington is a better made gun.

He's like that and I don't understand him, I get along with him, but I've seen him do just what you said. Besides you can get them cheaper than from him. I got mine at a show in PA, they're always available at better shows over there. Other than SB, in the north, maybe Bullet Hole? You should call them first.

If you don't have time to clean right away, a little ammonia or Windex will neutralize the salt until you do. Never had issues when I've done that.

PTR 91 is a great gun, but keep in mind two things: 1 It kicks like a mule 2 It destroys brass, so don't plan on reloading anything you shoot out of it.

I own numerous semi 308's and I like them all, but my favorite would have to be my Springfield M1A. They start in the $1400's for a basic model and run upwards of $2500 for a match grade. You should be able to get something really nice for $1500 - $1800. The PSL Eric mentioned above is a great value for the money if you're on a budget.

I think the stock on that rifle is considered a thumb hole stock, so that would eliminate one "evil feature" and allow for a flash hider. Just be careful there isn't some type of bayonet mount if there is a flash hider on the version you buy.

Diddo, except several hunter ed classes. And the Texas law only allows purchase of long guns in contiguous states, why limit us to that? We don't have that limitation now.

I always keep mine in my wallet, you never know when you might come accross a deal on a long gun you simply cannot live without. That issue aside, you need to purchase pistol ammo in NJ anyway, why not just keep it on you.

That's the thought that keeps going through my head. If only I had the room to do that. Maybe if I didn't spend so much on guns I could buy a bigger house.

I used the guy behind Meltzer's about 15 or 20 years ago. If it's the same guy he was competent.

I got one from Bullet Hole, but it was an unfired consignment gun. I'm not sure if they stock them or it's a special order item with them.

The problem with legalizing some drugs is their potency. I can agree with your point about the danger of pot being overstated, but do we really want heroin or meth to be legal? You really cannot use heroin without getting addicted and meth will make some users do crazy and potentially dangerous things to other people. As for alcohol, it's potency is much lower than hard drugs, I have a beer or two almost every night without any ill effects (outside of having a beer gut). I am all about personal responsibility as well, but where does legalizing drugs end? Do we allow all prescription drugs to be sold openly?

They are hard to come buy, Armalite hasn't been making enough of them lately. Your best bet is to order what you want from them directly and have it sent to an FFL for a transfer. I've been on the list for months to get a compliant AR10 A2 upper, I was told Dec...... still waiting.

I went there in Oct. and gave them my paperwork when I got there. I would also say CMP is the best way to go. Like Eric said, you will be pleasantly surprised by the condition of what's available, I was going to buy a special grade SA and ended up getting a service grade SA and a service grade WRA. The ride is not bad, I hope for your sake it doesn't snow when you go.

Eric..... so the next time you come home with a new acquisition, and your mother complains, you can explain to her that ultimately it's her fault that you have an uncontrolable urge to buy these things.

well.... it's all for the better in the long run.

I have never seen one, I have an 870 and an 11-87 and can't imagine how you would convert a pump to a semi, at least easily.
