Took my first trip to Cabela's and saw one of these.

 

My guess is they are illegal in NJ?

 

 

On a side note, why didn't anyone tell me they sold cast iron skillets there? That actually helped my wife accept it was a worth the trip~!

Ah, should have searched for "GAMO whisper" instead of "silencer air rifle."

 

This state is really not fun.

Remember, NJ consideres Airguns to be "Firearms", and prohibits all firearm supressors..sooooo ONLY in the PRNJ Does the Gamo suddenly become an evil baby-killing sniper rifle for Ninjas.

Cabelas Hamburg? If so, you're driving right past me and my range. We use suppressors, but mostly on full auto submachineguns. Although I have a LOT of friends with cans on .22 pistols. And some with cans on 9mm carry arms. Actually never fired a .45 can.

You mean you can meet for lunch on the next Cabela's trip?

I suppose so. Took 78. 1.5 hours one way isn't so bad but I sometimes can't find that amount of time.

 

 

Where is the range?

By "my range" I meant one of the places I'm a member at and shoot at most often. Firing Line in Whitehall.

 

I'd be happy to meet with a couple people for lunch. I like lunch.

I tried my a** off for the past couple weeks for the next scheduled Cabelas meet. Nobody wants to shoot or even tell me what time the meet is. So, I'll post video right after I get back from the range after the meet.

Right underneath the "add to cart" button is a link that says "view all restrictions that may apply. Along with a couple zip codes, the entire state of New Jersey is on the list. Here.

If their built into the air rifle and not removeable (ie: a shrouded barrel) and their is no threaded barrel, adaptor, or removeable device their ok per BATF.

 

Don't think about anything threaded, airgun or not

 

 

 

Of course airguns have little or no muzzle blast so its a gimmik, the noise is machanical from the spring

Bill, we're aware of the BATFE's stance on this - there is none, since federally, airguns are not considered firearms. Different story here in NJ where they are considered firearms and where suppressors of any kind (add-on or integral) are illegal - that is why they are a no-go in NJ.

 

Would have to disagree with you on the noise. These are relatively high velocity air guns and as such generate quite a bit of noise upon discharge, well beyond any spring noise. The Whisper is pretty effective in mitigating (not eliminating) this noise.

 

I know a local FFL who had a visit from the NJSP and when they saw one of these in his rack, was told he couldn't sell it. He notified Gamo and after going round & round with them, was allowed to ship it back. This is probably how Gamo became aware of the prohibition.

 

Adios,

On a side note, why didn't anyone tell me they sold cast iron skillets there? That actually helped my wife accept it was a worth the trip~!

n.j. considers these to be strictly a mind altering weapon, in that if you owned it you might take out a city block, silently of course, but these and so many other items are just too much for the crazy and irresponsible citizens of n.j. Next time you go check out the full auto bb guns, awesome untill you realize those are not allowed here either. Really want to have your eyes wide? go to a PA gun show, machine guns, sawed off shotguns, it will leave you breathless, and what seperates us from them? a river and a whole lot of common sense. Theyve got it, our politicians dont.

They have a special Wifey room at Cabelas. Don't show it to her. What you do is this. Do your shopping, buy guns, etc. When she gets sick of it and wants to leave, THEN take her to the Wifey room and drop her off. You just extended your trip by 45 minutes while she's in there and maybe another half hour after she comes out. Probably cost about $50 in candles, picture frames and stuff though.
