Hi Guys/Gals, I am new here and about to get into the wonderful world of Pistol ownership. I have a question and couldnt find the answer anywhere so I was pointed in this direction. I have a friend who lives in Tennessee and well his new wife (aka bit**)is forcing him to sell all of his toys. I know, he has no balls and we all have been telling him that since college, lol. Anyhow, I would like to purchase 1 or 2 of them and was wondering if there is anything special I would have to do to make this possible. I know that buying a new gun from a dealer requires a permit and waiting and the whole nine yards however, I do have my firearms ID card and was wondering what more would I have to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated since he will be coming up for the holidays and would love to receive my new toy/toys for Christmas!!!

you will need a pistol Permit for each pistol and an exemption if there is more than one. Any firearm from out of state must go through a NJ FFL to transfer ownership. We have several on the board from South to North depending where you live that can help you out.

To reiterate what Tim said

 

1. You need to apply for Pistol Permits. This will take at the very least 3 weeks. I think the average for pistol permits statewide is probably 6 weeks but it varies widely by jurisdiction. The pistol permit process is identical to getting your Firearms Purchaser ID card except that it's $18 + $2 per permit.

 

2. One gun every 30 days is in effect meaning it's probably easiest for your friend to hold onto the 2nd or 3rd gun or whatever for the time period.

 

3. You will need to have him transfer the firearms to a FFL in NJ. As Tim noted, there are a number right here on the board that can help.

 

Go apply for your permits as soon as possible. No matter what else needs to happen, that has to get done.

Also, make sure they are NJ legal. No more than 15 round magazines.

Thank you everyone for your quick responses, it is a great help. Going to go down to my local PD as soon as I get out of work. One other question, roughly how much do the FFL dealers charge for a transfer such as this? Thanks

$40ish plus NICS for $15 or so?
