Hello everyone. I am a new member here and have a quick question. I searched the NJ gun laws but could not find a definitive answer. In less than a month, I will be moving temporarily to Mt Laurel but I will be keeping my residency in MA. Here in MA, I have an LTC and purchased a Beretta 92fs. Will I be allowed to keep this handgun in my apartment in NJ or do I have to get some sort of permit first? Under NJ law, I know residents do not need a permit just to store "at their residence" but am unsure if this applies to non-residents.

 

Thanks for your help.

If it's your residence, it's your residence. Just because you don't get mail there, doesn't mean you aren't residing there.

 

Don't carry it, don't advertise it and don't shoot anyone unless you have to and you'll be fine.

Thanks a lot. I kinda figured that was the case. I only wish I could carry in this state.

While storing it won't be a major hurdle, be aware of the maximum of a 15 round magazine. Possessing that item can cause you a problem.

I only wish I could carry in this state.

 

You're not the only one.

Even if you were to relocate to NJ, you are not required to register your firearms or anything like that (no action on your part is required). As long as the firearms are legal to own in NJ, you may bring them.
