Great, thanks so much everyone for your answers

I'm hazy on contiguous states because as a NY resident I've purchased long guns in PA on my NY ID within the last few years, definitely post Sandy Hook

That's NJ law as it applies to it's residents?

Thanks, all your answers confirm what I expected. But correct me if I'm wrong- PA and NJ are contiguous states, can the father can purchase a long gun from an FFL in PA without an NJFID? Does he need a NJFID to own a long gun in NJ, or to purchase one in NJ?

Don't know if this is the right forum, re-locate it if necessary. I'm a NY resident, I wish to give my 15 year old NJ nephew a .22 mag-fed semi-auto rifle for Christmas, his parents have approved, I'm assuming the father has to assume responsibility for it. What's the best way to do this? Is it a straw purchase to gift it to someone (father or minor) whose not otherwise prohibited? Can I private sale it over state lines from me to his father or should I bring his father with me to a PA gun show and have him purchase the rifle I select? What are the FOID issues, if any?
