The situation is a little clearer now - but just a little. It seems what happened is that a NICS check was done last month and the gun was picked up 2 days later - the date recorded on the permit was 2 days after the NICS check. By mistake, the second gun was bought 31 days after the first NICS check, which was approved by NICS. However, the date on the permit of the 2nd gun, a copy of which gets sent to the NJSP and issuing Police Department, shows a purchase 29 days after the first. Is there anything that should be done to show that this was done in error, such as immediately returning the gun. The dealer feels that the NICS dates should apply but the NJSP and an aggressive prosecutor may rule differently.

"approved by NICS, but in essence he would be breaking the law." That's the issue I was trying to get some guidance for. If such a purchase is (mistakenly) made, is there anything the buyer should do to avoid a possible criminal charge?

Thanks. I'll tell him.

I wasn't ready for such quick responses! I called my friend and he confirmed that NICS told the dealer that their date for the 1st gun is 3 days before he got the first gun, so according to NICS' records, the 2nd purchase was made 32 days after the first. The purchae date on the permit of the first gun (which is the date he got the first gun) is 3 days later than what NICS is showing. Since copies of the permits (which show 29 days between purchases) go to the State Police, he's concerned that the 29 days will be detected and he's trying to determine if he should do anything to set the record straight. Thanks.

Love the resonable discussions on these forums. This question recently came up. We were discussing an issue that a friend claims recently occurred. Apparently, NICS approved a purchase on the 29th day following a previous purchase. Is there anything that can or should be done to avoid a problem? Can a purchase such as this be "undone?" The dealer said that NICS has an earlier date for the first purchase and would not appove a 2nd purchase in NJ within 30 days.
