After you buy a pistol and you have your pink copy what do you do with it?

 

I keep it in my safe, but I heard it's good to keep it with the pistol.

 

Right? Wrong? Doesn't matter?

I keep mine in my safe, but I keep a copy in the pistol case.

Ditto, but in my range bag.

I keep it in my pistol case, I've been meaning to make a copy to keep in my filing cabinet at some point. I guess that you are required to have a copy of it on you whenever you go anywhere with your handgun right?

What is a pistol permit ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I keep originals in safe, keep copies in range bag..

This is a really good question. Please chime in if I'm not correct... Realisticly there should be no need to keep the pink copy. Follow this rational, NJ has a permit to putchase and not to possess. So, after the purchase you should never have to show where you got it.

 

Now that being said I keep mine in the safe. I even keep a shrunk copy under the grip of one of my defense guns.

 

Think about this, If you can legally own a pistol and you inherited one from uncle Harry(it was in his will) you can legally possess that pistol and you never had a PPP.

 

Great question.

What is a pistol permit ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any reason you feel the need to be a smartass?

YES.. look at the post again a little further down..

It's not a pistol permit, it's a permit to purchase!

Pretty much everyone here uses the terms interchangibly. There's one in every crowd I guess.

My originals are in the safe with the rest of the gun paraphernalia. I don't carry any copies.

I think they're in the safe. Yeah... I'm going to say they're in the safe. I don't keep any copies with my weapons.

Is there any statute or law requiring us to keep them paperwork with the firearm?

 

Any benefits or drawbacks or keeping a copy with the firearm in anyones opinion?

I was told by a retired LEO that you should keep originals in a safe and copies with your guns , whether that be range bag or gun cases BECAUSE .... the police can confiscate your firearm until you provide proof of ownership !!!!!!!!!!

Same here. I don't keep copies with my weapons.

I keep all my COEs and PPPs in a 3-ring binder in my safe. I have 1 binder for "bought" and 1 binder for "sold". I don't keep copies with me when I take the guns out though.

I can't believe with all the crap they have us go through to register each and every handgun we buy/transfer, they don't have a consolidated database to check the registry quickly. Makes you wonder what the point of the registry is, huh?

Though this may make your life easier to prove your eligibility and ownership, what he told you is BS and not necessary. The only time I had a handgun confiscated was when I was pulled over and it was under the front seat and yes loaded.

I had no credentials with me at all. A few phone calls at 5am and I left the trooper barracks without my weapon. When I returned with the creds it was returned. But that is all understandable and reasonable. If you have proper ID and you are transporting in the approved manner you should not need to provide proof of ownership.

 

Now on the other hand if the weapon is suspect for any reason it can be run againt a hot list. When firearms are forfieted for any reason two things are done. Run against a hot list and checked that they do not violate the AWB.

+1 - I don't carry any copies with me. No law states you need them with you. Why cave in to the liberal mentality of this state. I kep all hard copies filed and make soft copies.

I havn't seen it written anywhere in the state laws requiring you to carry proof of ownership. I also wouldn't ask a cop for legal advice. If he searches your vehicle and finds them in your trunk you probably have other problems anyway. Maybe keep your windows rolled down while you smoke.

 

 

 

What would a law abiding citizen do, who moved to NJ with handguns previously purchased out of state? He may have the bill of sales, but wouldn't have a NJ ppp.

 

What if you are an older NJ resident who purchased handguns prior to the current permitting process?

Complete crap. It is a permit to purchase only.

I understand it is BS but why not be prepared just in case some anti gun cop decides to confiscate your guns cause you have no proof of ownership on you , to make a few extra copies and stuff them in your case seems quite worth it to me ...

Don't you understand... Unless he has cause he can't confiscate your weapon if you are transporting properly.

I completely understand but there are alot of variables and to make a a copy and put it in your bag or case does not seem to be that big of a deal !! Relax , sometimes people get way to emotional on here about stuff !!! Jeez .....

I haven't the slightest idea where they are.

No emotion here. Knowing the law and the proper way to transport will get you more respect as along as you are courteous.

If you are transporting properly why in the world would a LEO even know you have a weapon locked in the trunk? Are you going to volenteer that info? "Hey I have a gun in my truck and here's my purchase permit... Well good for you sonny..."

 

I've never been asked when pulled over,which is rare, If I have any firearms.

 

If you want to carry copies fine. But nor necessary.

I keep the originals in my safe, I don't carry any paper work with me because I'm not required by law to carry a purchase permit around with me.

Yup, and i keep copies in my file cabinet.

Here's a question....

 

Those that don't carry copies of their permits with their firearms because the law doesn't require it, do you also not carry personal identification for the same reason?

 

Just a rhetorical question to make you think.

Went to the dog park today and didn't bring my wallet, so yup I would walk out of my house not carrying my ID on purpose. The only time I make sure I grab my ID is if I am going to be legally required to have it such as drive a car or buy alcohol.
