A fellow gun-nut and I were talking during lunch over a trip to pick up some ammo and we got on the topic of legitimately finding a gun. As in, if you were walking along the road and FOUND a hangun on the side of the road. This did NOT happen to either of us, or anyone we know, purely hypothetical, no winks, no cross-fingers, no sarcasm. So what would be the way to handle the situation? 1. Did you come into possession legally? 2. Are you required by LAW to report the find? 3. If a pistol, do you need a permit? ac

Augusta is the barracks that covers my town. Netcong would be much more convenient as it is closer to me at work. Can I go to any barracks or does it have to be the one that covers my town? ac

I tried, but I drove around for 2 days straight looking for the town police station. J/K My town is NJSP patrolled, so straight to NJSP I have to go. ac

You have silly math. To get them extended...I need an appointment again. So it would be 4 trips annually to maintain permits. ac

Have had my FPID from back when I lived in Parsippany. Moved up to Sussex last October and promptly did a change of address and got 2 pistol permits (which I used like a good NJ citizen). I played the "game" and stopped by the local barracks to pick up the "packet". Then I followed the instructions and called the Sgt for an appointment. The whole process from me waking up and wanting a change of address was close to 5 months. Fast forward to today. A buddy calls and tells me he wants to sell a pistol. Me, being a good friend, tells him I will buy it. I call the NJSP and figure I should be able to just drop the forms and get the process rolling, 30 days right? AHAHAAHAHAHA, boy did they have something else in mind. Guess what, need another appointment. When is the next appointment? January 4th! Yes, 23 days away! Any appointments that don't require taking time off work? Heck no! Argh, so frustrating. I can see this is going to be another 5 month process again.

Yeah, I am a jackbutt. Did some searching and found that instantly. This would be some nice info "stickied" :-)

I am looking at picking up a few guns soon. Will 1 NICS/transfer cover mutiple guns?

I used the price request. 2 have already responded with prices (varying wildly) and one responded that they can order. Clearly these guys have a way of selling it in NJ for us. ac

Couldn't any FFL take delivery of the weapon and modify the mags for compliance? ac

The wife is looking for her first handgun. She has "internet" narrowed it down to the FNX-9. Does anyone know a shop that has one she can touch and possibly buy? She has her permit already. I haven't seen it offered with <=15 round mag anywhere. ac

If you are even considering ADMITTING guilt...talk to a lawyer first. If number 2 is important...so is number 5! ac

If we put together a deal that is worth it for me up in the North...I would be in. I am pretty sure I would be looking for 1-4. We have been kicking around ordering a few from Buds at work...I am sure we would switch it up to a local source if the deal was good. ac

The purpose of my question is to cover the apparent time period where your FPID will not match your DL after moving. We all agree you have 15 days to change DMV address and 30 to APPLY to change FPID address. Since your FPID change of address could take 90+ days (reality, not legally) there is a period of time where the addresses would not match legally. Are you forbidden from buying guns at that point? ac

No, at the time my DL was my NEW address and my FPID was my OLD address...you know...DMV can change address in a matter of minutes, but the NJSP took 3 months on the FPID. ac

I read on this forum in the marketplace that people require matching addresses on FPID and driver's licenses. Is this ACTUALLY a law? I recently moved, and have since received my change of address (3 months from NJSP). During that waiting time I went to an FFL and mentioned that my DL and FPID didn't match at the time. He said that there was no law that specifically required them to match to purchase a firearm and he was willing to sell to me. I can't imagine this guy would risk his FFL. What's the REAL deal? ac

Are they doing this for change of address also? I work for the US Army. I can't even imagine them trying to call someone there. ac

If you didn't post this first, this is exactly what I was going to post. I would rather wait 3 days.

Apparently this barrack only has one trooper (Sgt) in charge of the FPIDs. That is why the 2+ week wait before the "appointment". He doesn't have availability until then. Does anyone know if I have to go to the barracks closest to my new address, or does ANY barracks work? ac

Really? For a simple change of address? That sucks. Here I was all excited because they seemed so organized. ac

I moved from Parsippany PD jurisdiction to NJSP jurisdiction and I am looking to change my address. I stopped at the barracks and spoke to the desk trooper. He was extremely helpful and handed me a pre-assembled packet with the forms I need (33, 66 and SBI-212A). The last instruction says to call a Sgt between 9-3 Mon-Fri and schedule an appointment. I called today and after a few tries and a while on hold I made the first available appointment: December 14! I didn't realize changing the address was so significant! I guess the whole "30-day" rule won't even start counting until the 14th? ac

I have thought about that too. For some reason the crossbow is getting more interest from me. A few buddies bow hunt. About 1/2 said to try the crossbow and 1/2 are saying to be traditional and go compound. ac

I am looking to get into crossbow hunting. I have been deer hunting with a shotgun for a few years now and I think I want to extend my season a bit. Anyone have suggestions for a decent setup <$500? ac

Is there anyway for a person to perform this check themselves to see what comes up? ac
