I over heard a conversation the other day at the Ramsey Outdoor store. A guy asked if he could put his handgun on consignment at the store. The guy behind the counter (an NRA trainer) said yes, however, be warned that if the gun doesn't sell you will need a new handgun purchaser permit to get it back. Leaving it at the store "on consignment" is considered a transfer and you can't get it back without the new permit. I could not believe what I was hearing and confirmed the conversation after the guy left the counter. You gotta love Jersey!!!!!!!!

I'm looking to cover my butt also as I am still not sure about bringing my handguns from FL to NJ and going to a range in NJ. I just need to get my address updated on my current FID, however, it sounds like that process will be starting over again. Thanks, Tony

Wow, interesting. Did he have a FID in NJ before he took up residence in FL? Has he tried to get a purchase permit? Thanks, Tony

As I mentioned in another post, I am a Florida resident but I still have a home in NJ. I have an FID with an out dated address which I wanted to update. However, will NJ issue me a new FID to update my NJ address if I have a Florida drivers licence? Also, will they issue a purchaser permit based on the same information? Ths, Tony

Thanks!

This is a really good explanation! The police may be as confused as I am on this issue, however, I guess the key is "don't get pulled over" and follow the rules on locked containment of the firearm. Thanks again! Tony

The shipping idea could make sence, but you are correct that these gun laws are ridiculous! Thanks for all your input. Tony

I mean I can't be arrested just for having a handgun in my car even though it's locked in my trunk and everything else is cool?

so if I get stopped on my way home in NJ with a handgun locked in my car I can allow the police to search my car with no NJ paperwork for the gun? I won't be arrested?

I had been advised to call the NJ state police to clarify the law, however, the website says that the state police can't advise on legal matters so contact a lawyer. I guess that's what you're saying. Thanks for your help!

I have lived in NJ most of my life, however, last year I homesteaded in Florida but I still have a house in NJ. In NJ, I purchased many shotguns with my ID card. However, now I'm hooked on handguns and they are very easy to get in FL. I recently discovered that it may not be safe to bring any handguns purchased in FL to NJ via car, it's just not worth the hassal because the NJ law is very gray. So, I was thinking that I would apply for a permit in NJ and keep a handgun here for home defense and going to the range. My question is: can I get a permit in NJ as a FL resident? Or, is there a safe and legal way to transport my handguns from FL? Thanks! Tony

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and look forward to learning what I can here about NJ laws and so on. I live in Florida half of the year and in NJ the other half. I only have shotguns here in NJ but several Glock handguns in FL. Look forward to the forums. Thanks, Tony
