Can you buy guns on a Sunday?

Featured Replies

Is NJ trace open at all on Sunday? Or no? I'm talking a purchase from a store here...

NICS is not open on Sundays. You can still purchase a gun on Sunday, you just have to wait until NICS is open to do the transfer and take it home. Assuming you will pass NICS.

Also, what about the transfer of a rifle? If your selling a rifle in a FTF deal, you won't do a nics check.

Even for FTF Pistol Transactions between NJ Residents, there is no need for a NICS Check as long as the buyer has a valid Pistol purchase permit and ID.

AFAIK there's no law saying you can't transfer firearms on a Sunday. FFL dealers are limited to the availability of NICS so even during working hours if NICS is down they can't transfer or sell a gun to you. For face to face I don't think it matters what day the transfer takes place.

No, NICS is not closed on Sundays. NICS is 17 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays (except for Christmas).

 

The reason you can't buy a gun from an FFL in NJ on a Sunday is because NJ does not use NICS, they use an entirely separate system of their own, which is not open on Sundays.

Not exactly correct. NJ uses NCIC, however they have their own call center that is closed on Sundays. =)

 

I have often times purchased firearms at gunshows on Sundays in PA.

Yes I am aware of NJ using their own system and not the same NICS as the other states. However most FFLs simply refers to it as NICS.

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. NJ has their own call center or whatever.

 

I just wanted autoxnyc to know that because like you said, most of the country can buy a gun on a Sunday no problem. I've bought a few on a Sunday out there too.
