My father emailed me today. He told me of my uncles failing health. He mentioned my uncles wishes to transfer me his old revolver. My Uncle lives in Florida and none of us knows the Florida laws relating to out of state transfers.

He is in no shape to run around and find out. I figure on my end I'll need a permit. Can an FFL in NJ hold it for me while I go through the process again ??

And does anyone know the laws in Florida regarding transfer ?? Can his daughter send it to me ?? The pistol was brought to FL in the early 70's.

Thanks for your time.

Must go to an FFL in NJ

 

Try Action - he will likely hold it for you.

And does anyone know the laws in Florida regarding transfer ?? It is Federal Law. Can his daughter send it to me ?? Not directly. It must go through a NJ delaer. The pistol was brought to FL in the early 70's.

Q: May an unlicensed person obtain a firearm from an out-of-State source if the person arranges to obtain the firearm through a licensed dealer in the purchaser

and not prohibited from acquiring firearms

 

I believe this is the operative phrase here. In NJ you are prohibited unless you have a FID and a Pistol Purchase Permit. In this case the word Purchase and Transfer are synonymous.

You don't need a FPID Card to buy a pistol. Just the Pistol Purchase Permit. In actual practice, it is stupid not to get a FPID, but just stated as a point of correctness.
