Dear Community,
As the topic title states, is there any possibility to legally own a Benelli M3 in the state of New Jersey. Is anyone on this forum a current owner of this gun?
I was shocked to learn that this gun is banned by the NJSP due to it resembling an assault weapon simply because of its pistol grip. I recall that the law used to allow for ONE feature to be present that resembles an assault weapon, but the pistol grip is some kind of special evil in NJ.
I called a few gun stores who told me that Benelli does not offer a standard (non-pistol grip) stock for the M3, but does for the M4. The only downside for me is that I really wanted the dual action (auto switchable into pump).
If an M3 is completely impossible to attain legally, could someone recommend a shotgun with similar reliability/longevity as Benelli and with the dual mode action?
Much appreciated,
D
