Legally, no P2P is required to inherit but would you spend money and time to fight this in court after dealing with the loss of a loved one? probably not, it was easier for the relative to comply and do as he was told. He (relative) wasn't very gun savvy so he didn't push the issue but he should have. This is living proof NJSP and local PD's can find out what someone ones and this was pre-computer age, too.

NJSP responded and took a report when he died, nobody volunteered any information to NJSP or the local PD (ie, that he was a firearms owner) and no firearms were at the scene. Local PD found out he died within hours and they came with NJSP in the morning asking about the firearms and who had them, told the relative to surrender them and obtain P2P for each one. Nothing else to the story.

Can't tell you how many times I've had the money together to get something small and cheap out of state and something comes up or I hesitated and backed out. I have a friend up in Chester PA and looked at a cheap apartment, the person wanted $20K or so for it...real &*&* shack and the area is far from the best but for the price it would have given me a PA apartment and address, I backed out but considering it's only 1.5 hour from my SJ house it would have worked out nicely.

Delaware...low taxes and rights actually exist...

Within 24 hours of the person being deceased NJSP and the local PD came looking for the pistols and had model/cal/serial info in hand, relative gave the Trooper the pistols and had to provide a copy of the will showing they were left to him...relative got the pistols back but was also required to obtain P2P's for them, I'm not sure if the pistols were stored at a barracks or taken to an FFL. This happened in the 90's, whether it was legal or not I have no idea and nobody pressed the issue. Edit: Was a Beretta in 32 auto and a S&W M&P revolver in 38 spl

I know NJSP came looking for handguns (twice) when two relatives passed away, of course they were purchased in NJ but Troopers showed up within 24 hours and asked for the handguns....other relatives bought when they were in VA and NC so those are off NJ's books (legally)...

Just checked one of mine and it says: "Permit to purchase a handgun & form of register". So all handguns purchased in NJ are registered, right?

So... 1 - Register them and be legal. 2 - Sell them to an FFL or out-of-state buyer, or arrange out-of-state storage. 3 - Do nothing and risk prison time. 1 and 2 sure beat 3...

Isn't the P2P worded "voluntary registration of handgun/pistol"? it's far from "voluntary".

Yes, I understand what the second amendment is about and that registration will not stop criminals and I am not promoting gun registration or gun control. The State of New Jersey is allowed to supersede Federal firearms laws and this has been upheld in court. Passing another assault weapon ban and requiring registration or out-of-state disposal of assault weapons is a very real possibility. The 1990 assault weapon ban left gun owners with two options ...sell (or store) them out-of-state or register the assault weapons. Nothing the pro-2A groups did helped save NJ gun owners. Oh, and how would this not "end well"? if you are counting on every NJ gun owner refusing to register assault weapons and risk prison time you are dreaming the reality is if it happened before it can will happen again.

Hi-Cap mags are legal in NJ: If you registered an "assault weapon" in 1990 and belong to a club/organization recognized by CMP (and use them only in "competitive shooting matches" you are legal. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/rpt/2013-R-0039.htm

NJSP could offer owners the chance to register or dispose of "assault weapons" as they did during the 1990 ban. Those that registered were lucky as they could keep "assault" firearms they had legally purchased, others sold or stored them out of state and some...well, they kept them

Wrong, NJ allowed owners of "assault weapons" to register them. Registered "assault weapons" exist in NJ but they cannot be transferred or (if damaged) replaced.

And boating accidents...they happen

They seem to be priced the same (online) not sure about in-store.

If they (NJSP) wanted to confiscate "assault weapons" they could review 4473's and A&D books at FFL's in NJ and find out who bought what and when...time consuming and requires a good deal of man power...

I know you already got one but here are two to keep in mind if you continue with bolt guns: Winchester 69A: Bolt action detachable mag (5 and 10 round mags exist, they can be a bit pricey). Or a single shot Remington 514. Both are great rifles and the Remington has seen at least 10,000 rounds since it was purchased new in the 60's.

It's on the buyer, if he/she is honest and says he/she purchased one already within the 30 day period without the exemption paperwork (and had copies to backup his/her claim) I would refuse to sell it. If the buyer lies and ends up getting caught it's on them not you.

True but odds are the State would win. NJ gun owners lost the fight in May of 1990 (NJ AWB was passed)...nobody has succeeded in getting that off the books. You can: 1- Register and keep your black rifles OR 2- GET OUT OF NJ! If you chose the second option send us a post card.

If this ever happened the State would probably offer an amnesty and registration period just like the NJ AWB allowed "assault weapons" to be registered and owned but not resold within the State... The big question is: would you register them? I would if it meant keeping my toys.

Honestly, if you are buying NIB and it's a reputable brand it should be covered under warranty. I've had Ruger, Marlin, Remington, Winchester and Colt repair out-of-warranty firearms at no cost (except shipping). Of course the shipping time to and from the factory (yes, repaired firearms are returned directly no FFL) varies...Marlin did a 39a for me and had it back in 8 days and Colt did my HBAR (had a damaged sight) and took about 3 weeks...Ruger took about a month for a 10/22 to be returned. Best to learn to strip your new acquisition and call the manufacturer for parts, Glock, S&W and Ruger have sent me parts at no cost before but if it's something no longer produced I head to Gun Parts Corp. I really see no need to spend more for customer service on major brands and stock guns IMO but if you want it fixed pronto go local..

And if the someone released information for every FPID holder it wouldn't bother you? I wouldn't want someone finding out I own guns and where I live...just asking for a break-in. Edit: And not every NJ CCW holder is above the law or politically connected, I know one who has no connections with any politicians or State officials.

Right so violate someones privacy because they can do something you can't?

Also, speaking from experience certified mail/return receipt usually grabs someones attention and generates a response...
