Thanks very much DirtyDigz...30 minutes on this forum has netted me more usable information than 3 days worth of reading through NJ statutes and State Police FAQ's. Really appreciate the clear and concise info. NJ sounds a lot like my home country with respect to firearms laws...except here we need a PAL (our version of an FID - Possession and Acquisition Licence) to even possess. Transport sounds similar too (unloaded, locked and reasonably direct route) except I need a separate permit to transport "restricted" firearms (handguns and AR's)...Anyway, thanks again...

Thanks...I was just reading some of the FAQ's posts over in the Gun Laws forum... My biggest question is around just moving with the guns...I know I need an FID/P2P for purchasing, but am I legal to possess and transport (range/gunsmith, etc) without the FID? I have read I don't need to register my guns when I move but that doesn't really tell me if I can take them shooting before I get an FID... As for my firearms,, I am pretty squared away with handguns and standard shotguns...I have a Sig P226, Glock 17, S&W 686 and a Remington 870 that I know are all NJ legal...I have an old Tokarev TT33 which the ATF advised me was not legal to import to the US as it's Russian. The guns I am confused about are my AR's and my Mossberg 590 - it has a bayonet lug so is that kosher? The AR's are not NJ legal in current form, but can I make them legal or should I just sell them here and buy new ones when I get my FID in my new home? Both have barrels less than 16" (11.5" & 14.5", adjustable stocks, one has a bayonet lug, both have threaded barrels (compensator and OEM flash hider respectively)... Anyway, still scouring the threads and appreciate any wisdom / insight anyone can offer...

Hey all, Just joined up as it appears my company will be transferring me from Toronto to NYC this fall/winter and I need some serious help figuring out which (if any) of my firearms I can bring with me and what I need to legally possess and acquire. And I thought Canadian gun laws were confusing...I have a ton of questions which I will post in the appropriate forums. Also have to find good places to shoot...looking for 3 Gun and IDPA primarily...but that can wait until I actually get down there...not sure where exactly we will end up but it will be commuting distance to NYC. Thanks in advance...looking forward to joining your community.
