Hello everyone.
We're seriously considering moving from NYC to NJ within the next year. I currently possess NYC handgun and NYC rifle/shotgun licenses which I'll have to give up when we move. I'm intending to apply for equivalent NJ licenses as soon as we move and I'd really like to keep most of my guns I currently own in NYC. How can I legally do that?
Right now I have the following handguns:
Sig P226 9mm - Would love to keep it, but can sell and get a new one once I get my NJ license.
Desert Eagle .44 Win-Mag - which I intend to sell
M1895 Nagant revolver 7.62mm - that's the one I'm not willing to part with
Rifles:
SKS 7.62 - Will sell if these are not legal in NJ
IZHMASH Biathlon .22 LR - would like to keep it
3 Mosin-Nagant rifles, one is a sniper version - would love to keep all 3.
Has anyone had any experience moving from NYC and re-obtaining their licenses/guns? I was thinking transferring the guns to a licensed NJ resident via a FFL dealer and transferring back once I get my licenses, but there are quite a few pitfalls with that. Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome and much appreciated.
Thanks.
