Would this be a straw purchase or an illegal transfer? In this case it can't be legally transferred as it is an illegal "assault weapon". Is there a legal way out of the situation? If the weapon was made inoperable (possibly by removing the firing pin and disposing of it) back in the 90's when the assault weapon ban was enacted then it would not be an assault weapon and could be sold/transferred. Paperwork would have had to been submitted back then, and since it wasn't that would have been an issue but probably one that no one would care about now. So if the op verifies that the rifle was permanently modified back in the 90's I think he is OK for the family friend to have it sold via an FFL.

^ The instructions for question 11.a on ATF Form 4473 state: "You are also the actual transferee/buyer if you are legitimately purchasing the firearm as a gift for a third party."

Even the lenses get upgrades. High end photography can be very expensive.

So if you are not going to/from an exempt location you have to have obtained a FPID. If you also do not have it on your person and it is presumed you didn't obtain one then it can make for a very bad day if you are arrested for possession of a weapon even if you are ultimately cleared. It is much easier to just carry the FPID with you.

2015 New Jersey Revised Statutes Title 2C - THE NEW JERSEY CODE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE Section 2C:39-2 - Presumptions http://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2015/title-2c/section-2c-39-2/ 2C:39-2. Presumptions a. Possession of firearms, weapons, destructive devices, silencers, or explosives in a vehicle. When a firearm, weapon, destructive device, silencer, or explosive described in this chapter is found in a vehicle, it is presumed to be in the possession of the occupant if there is but one..... b. Licenses and permits. When the legality of a person's conduct under this chapter depends on his possession of a license or permit or on his having registered with or given notice to a particular person or agency, it shall be presumed that he does not possess such a license or permit or has not registered or given the required notice, until he establishes the contrary.

State v Repp says you have to have obtained a FPID unless you are specifically exempted in a statute.. In that case the NJ Supreme Court overturned a superior court which had overturned the original conviction of Repp because he did not have a FPID. Repp had said that he had purchased the shotgun prior to the 1966 Gun Control Law and thus wasn't required to have the FPID. The Supreme Court stated that at the time of his arrest he wasn't traveling to an exempt location and thus was required to have obtained a FPID.

I think if you are not going to/from an exempt location then you must have your FPID physically with you.

And the obstruction of the administration of law.

A better answer about the guns might have been: "I respectfully would not like to answer that question". But if they are in plain sight through a window that won't help. I cover up my firearms to try to avoid these situations (and as we know there is no legal requirement to do so). One of the things I really don't understand is why do the courts find it OK for the police to lie to us but it is a crime if we lie to them?

Welcome! When it comes to firearms in NJ you will learn to be very patient.

btw: If you are renewing your NH concealed carry license I think you do have to provide your NH concealed carry license number on the application.

That's also a good idea because they probably have security camera's outside their entrance.

I too believe in diversity and I am also a globalist: Austria, Germany, Israel, Italy, and USA.

In 2013 the total people killed by guns was about 33,636 and that there were around 21,175 suicides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States Unfortunately anti-freedom people will find a way to use this against people that would never commit suicide (or any violence). For example if a doctor thinks you might sound like you are having suicidal thoughts they could report you to the government which would then put you on a "suicide watch list" and we all know how that would be used. Things like this sound appealing but the unintended consequences can be dangerous. And we have heard the refrain "if it only saves a single life it would be worth it". btw: I am not saying anyone in this thread is saying this but just wanted to present another side to the conversation. Today the political climate is so toxic I would be very concerned about anything like this. This is somewhat analogous to the issue of "smart guns".

Welcome and get ready to being your legal training. It can be fun and you have come to the right place.

Welcome!

Very very nice.

No stove pipes for me.

Welcome to the forum.

So when the shoplifter gets arrested and ultimately gets a 5 year sentence he sues RTSP for "allowing" him to steal an illegal magazine. You gotta remember this is NJ.

No but I have suggested female only classes and instructors.

She loves dogs but has bad allergies!

She really doesn't want anything to do with guns (like many people I have met). I wanted this info so I can gently make suggestions to convince her otherwise. I was able to get her to go to a range one time but not get out of the car. Small steps.

Almost everyone who goes to the movies knows which is the business end of a gun (even women who haven't grown up playing cops and robbers I would think) but for the rest almost surely not and I am not disagreeing with anyone on those points.

I didn't say it well but I meant that society has placed such a stigma on guns that some people are literally afraid to be near them. It is a shame because they are the great equalizer (particularly for women) if one knows how to properly use them.
