All very interesting. I just picked up my pistol purchasing permit. Any suggestions on good gun shop to visit? I am in the southern aspect of TF near Ocean and Neptune.. Thanks for all the great commentary!

Question that was recently posed to me and I did not have an answer. In Tinton Falls, where I reside, several people have seen signs indicating that the "discharge of firearms is strictly prohibited." Now the question arose as to whether this was true in the setting of a home invasion. For instance: you are sleeping, someone breaks into your home. Say you have access to your firearms and someone tried to come into your room or you feel your life is in danger. If you fire at the intruder are you violating the law or does it stand that it would be acceptable in the setting of self defense???? Anyone who has any thoughts it would be appreciated. I was asked and could not come up with an educated response...

Hey guys, I am a relatively new member and have posted on here a couple of times in the past. I have a couple quick questions adn was hoping to get some good information from the members. 1- I moved to Tinton Falls and applied for a permit as well as pistol permit several months ago but have not yet heard anything from the town / police regarding its progress and status. Anyone live in Tinton Falls and know what the current wait time is / historical processing time? 2- If you move to NJ with a legally purchased firearm from another state (which is legal) what documentation do you require to ensure that you can prove their legality, etc.? I had a permit to carry in another state and purchased my firearms legally while there and have since moved to NJ. What documentation should I be ensuring I save to prove their legality?? Thanks everyone!

Alrighty. Thank you to everyone for their excellent information. The time for my move is finally here and I have, therefore, contacted the Tinton Falls, NJ police department to confirm everything stated here. The detective I spoke with informed me that I was required to register my firearms. He then, after further questioning, told me it was very much recommended and not mandatory if "you are never going to leave your home with them." Does anyone know where I can find paperwork or legal code demonstrating that there is indeed no necessity to register the firearms? I would like to comply with the law as I transition back to NJ... Also, what are the reasons not to register in NJ?? Thanks again, Mike

You are correct, magazines would definitely be correct and "clip" was an error on my part. It was just a naive desire to purchase in RI while in NJ.. would have been easier but not a possibility.

Thanks for all the great responses! The mossberg is a pump-action shotgun and the PPS has 2 clips (5 and 6 rounds) so no problem there. This is all good news! When I move to NJ I will still own a rental property in RI. If I change my license to NJ then I would not be able to purchase in RI any longer??? I have a license to carry in PA but have let my RI license expire as I am moving... I would LOVE to get a carry permit in NJ but the chances of success = 0.000001% unless anyone has some advice that would help. Thanks again!

Hello all... I know there have been several similar posts in the past and I have reviewed them but was hoping to gain some further information, thanks for the help in advance! I am new to the forum and just signed up today. I moved from NJ to RI for a job 6 years ago and promptly obtained a permit to carry. I enjoyed this liberty immensely throughout my time in the Ocean state. I am, however, very happy to be moving back to my true home... NJ. I will be moving to Monmouth county and had some questions. I currently own my carry piston (Walther PPS .40) and a Mossberg 12-gauge (with expandable butt and pistol grip) [sold my others prior to the move]. I am planning to make the move and from what I have read will have no problem with the pistol if I just bring it with me to my new home. The shotgun sounds as though it fits the description of requiring some changes prior to being legal (will likely remove the expandable butt). If I do that would I be able to bring the shotgun with me? Will I need to register with the local police or get a permit to own?? Also, I own quite a bit of hollow-point rounds as I used this for carry purposes. I would like to bring these rounds with me as they were expensive. Is this a problem? And also, is it legal to purchase in RI (still have a residence there) and transport to NJ in the future??) Thanks in advance! I appreciate the help and am happy to find a firearms forum in NJ. I was a member of www.cralri.com while in RI...
