Are FFL's allowed to do NICS with information submitted over the phone so you are approved without driving to the store? and fill out the 4473 when you pickup the gun? would save on making long round trips...

Mipafox, post some pictures of your NFA weapons

Someone else on here (W2MC) will be able to give you a much better/detailed explanation, but give this a quick glance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_oscillator

No, it wouldn't...but I would make sure I came out ahead and not spew bullshit laws.

Call it a myth, I know a lot of people with a lot of money in the NFA hobby and have heard this first hand. No, I didn't try to change what I said...re-read the post bud. You are right about one thing, I do not own any pre-86 MG's. Not that I can't afford them, I'm not stupid enough to waste money on transferable MG's when I can play with postie samples over the border...

It's not a complete myth, many "investors" feel the registry should remain closed. Why? again, value will drop overnight and they will loose a small fortune. Sure plenty of MG owners would be happy to see it open again but you have guys with a lot of money tied up in "investment" MG's and they fear this. Yes, GCA allows another amnesty period but nobody within the Federal Govt. is pushing for it. You wouldn't even need to complete the work on the receivers, you could buy 50 AR lowers and submit a Form 1 for each lower...10 years down the road you could complete the work, much like the registered Uzi bolts that are still being used on new builds (ie Vector Arms) and the registered dewats being activated years later... BATFE issued a stamp for a Form 1 build since a trust was used, now BATFE is screaming that trusts are considered individuals...

And check ecode360 (google it) and see if your town/municipality has "no discharge" on the books, if not go out back and try it..

Take it to a range and shoot it or on private property where discharge isn't prohibited and you are good to go.

The problem is too many pre-86 owners want the registry to remain closed, the same people who supposedly believe in the second amendment want machine guns to remain restricted to pre-86 transferable so the guns they own will continue to go up in value. If you want a solid investment, machine guns are a poor choice and if someones looses over $100K in "investments" they should suck it up and remember "all investments carry risks". I too want the '86 ban lifted, allow us to do Form 1 builds with the stamp and be done with it.

Not true, Machine Guns are legal to own in NJ. Now getting permission to own them is the hard part, not impossible but long and expensive...

BB guns are not regulated by BATFE or under PA law, they couldn't run PICS for it. You are buying a "toy" in PA which becomes a weapon in NJ. They might refuse to sell it if they believe you are going to cross into NJ with it.

To "use" a WMA range, yes you (or someone in the group) must have a hunting license but it's still open to the general public....you can legally walk around a WMA range with no guns/ammo and no hunting license, it's legally considered public land not private property. The problem is lack of safety and enforcement, the State cannot afford to put someone on watch at every WMA range to enforce both safety and caliber/firearm requirements.

But you can legally sell lowers to someone under 21 fact to face as a non-FFL..

The shop should know NJ law, the shop owner is stupid to turn down legal business and spew uneducated nonsense to customers. Plenty of PA shops have no problem selling to NJ residents, the ones that cannot understand NJ gun laws pass up good business.

I wouldn't have bought anything from that shop, I would have called the State Police and asked if it was legal to own hollow point ammunition in front of him. Hollow points are legal to buy and transport home, use at a range, etc. and with the FPID you could drive around day/night with a rifle in the car (unloaded) and be 100% legal.

The thing is, it's open to anyone and nothing prohibits recreational target shooting of rim fire riles and shotguns. Sure, it's not a county target range but nothing prohibits someone from showing up and doing just that...recreational target shooting. If the State found it necessary to limit WMA ranges to sighting-in/hunting practice use only they would prohibit recreational target shooting and signs would be posted, not going to happen... What the State could do is divide the WMA ranges and create a small handgun only area for recreational target shooting, not likely but it would make sense. Now shooting clays....what about the guys that setup for 2-3 hours and do not hunt? the majority around here that shoot clays at the WMA are not hunters and drag someone along with a hunting permit to keep it legal. I hunt pheasant but enjoy doing 100 out of 100 shoots, that's recreational use IMO. The majority of shooting I used to see at SJ WMA Make Peace was enough for me to shell out the money for a private range, idiots waving around (finger on the trigger) and assholes that used to shoot up the wooden platform/gazebo with AR's and AK's ruining the range. No RO and rarely anyone from the State (unless it was cleanup time). If it bothers you I suggest becoming a member of a private range.

No, Messina, Sicily

This is NJ...licenses = money....the dog thing is crazy but what do people expect in this State? The word "fun" or "recreation" is non-existent here.

Yes, WMA's are for hunting practice but what harm would come by allowing 22 pistols? You are allowed to shoot clays at WMA ranges (Make peace WMA in SJ is a good example) is that not "recreational" shooting? guys shoot 100 matches all the time at that WMA site.

Honestly, most center fire should be allowed at WMA ranges too. 22lr handguns should be allowed at WMA ranges

I wasn't lol

I just envisioned Jonestown...

Huh?

District 2 has three letters in the mail
