Thanks

 

To my knowledge the FID is for transporting and purchasing, not the act of firing a weapon.

 

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

No

thanks just wanted confirmation from this board.

Prob wouldn't hurt to have though.

Strictly speaking - wouldn't really help; since the FID doesn't do anything WRT handguns.

 

Scott Bach claimed in an article I read that someone had been nailed for illegal transfer for letting someone else handle a handgun in his home, since temporary transfers are only legal at a range...

as far as I am aware.. FID is not even for transport.. ALL the NJ FID card does is allow you to PURCHASE firearms..

One of these days I'll put this reference someplace I can cut and paste it more easily...

 

2C:39-5 Unlawful possession of firearms, section c

Rifles and shotguns. (1) Any person who knowingly has in his possession any rifle or shotgun without having first obtained a firearms purchaser identification card in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.2C:58-3, is guilty of a crime of the third degree. (2)Unless otherwise permitted by law, any person who knowingly has in his possession any loaded rifle or shotgun is guilty of a crime of the third degree.

 

e.Firearms or other weapons in educational institutions.

 

(1)Any person who knowingly has in his possession any firearm in or upon any part of the buildings or grounds of any school, college, university or other educational institution, without the written authorization of the governing officer of the institution, is guilty of a crime of the third degree, irrespective of whether he possesses a valid permit to carry the firearm or a valid firearms purchaser identification card.

 

As far as I can tell this allows someone with a FID to knowingly possess an unloaded rifle or shotgun without having to comply with 2C:39-6 (f) or (g); as long as they stay off the grounds of an educational institution. 2C:39 ©(1) is idential in wording to 2C:39(b) which forbids the possession of a handgun without a permit to carry same.
