Well, I got my 3 permits and made my fisrt purchase. Good deal, and as you would have it, another nice deal comes my way and I can't friggin' do it because I have to wait 'til the middle of March before the 30 days are up. CRAP.

 

I'm not going to file for an exemption because it's not like it's a matched set of Colt dueling pistols or something.I just don't understand how making law abiding citizens wait is going to make a difference in the crime rate. Or get guns off the streets? If someone was going to shoot somebody they would do it with the 1st gun. Does it slow down straw purchases? Or is the State thinking someone is going to fill a crate with registered guns and ship them to Mexico? I just don't see how this is going to solve anything.

Also, can someone who understands these laws tell me, is it 30 days to the day or do I have to wait until day 31 to purchase another handgun?

 

If you purchase face to face and the white copy has to go to the SP within 5 days, does NICS know if you are less than 30 days or is the onus on the buyer?

 

Do you mean to tell me there is someone in the SP firearms bureau counting every purchase, from every citizen in NJ, every day to try and catch a 30 day violator? I can see it now-"hey Chet drive up to Morris County we get a guy who miscounted and bought a .22 on day 29!" Lights and siren all the way!What is the penalty for not waiting 30 days anyway? Prison time? Banned from future pruchase? Confiscation of previously owned hand guns?

 

Oh mentors of 2C please enlighten this humble , wayward soul.

As far as an FTF goes I'm not sure I know FFLs will let you do your purchase then wait the cool off to do paperwork

The only thing this law is/was designed to solve is the state's fear of us having the ability to arm ourselves in any reasonable amount of time....which is itself completely laughable considering what we have to go through to even exercise what little right we have left here. As for straw purchases....there is no problem with straw purchases in this state. Nobody is going through the diatribe necessary to legally acquire a handgun, and have it registered to them upon purchase, only to turn around and sell it on the street so that later when it is recovered at a crime scene, or on a criminal suspect, it can be directly traced back to them. All the gun laws in this state are designed to do one thing and one thing only--reduce the number of firearms legally possessed by mere mortal non-political peons for the purposes of creating total dependence on the state. One only need to research the history of NY's Sullivan law to see how it all fits.

It can be worked out - it's a matter of trust. Pay for the gun, the seller holds it until your 'due date' and then make the tansfer.

 

I have had a 1911 in the FFLs safe since December waiting on permits!

A friend of my family wants to give me his collection. I filed for the permits and exemption in the beginning of Nov. 2010. I have my permits but my local PD lost my exemption form after it was mailed back to them. I filed a new form at the beginning of this month (Feb. 2011) and I am still waiting. THIS F***ING STATE SUCKS!

They lost the approved form? Call the NJSP and get the copy.

What paul said. =)
