Hello everyone, I am moving to Jersey City from Pennsylvania soon and going through my things I found some guns of my fathers that I had forgotten about. I don't use them but I'd like to keep them for him. I've read the forums and have ordered the book on the gun laws of NJ and I believe I understand what I need to do regarding transport and storage at my new home in Jersey City. I'm ignorant about a few of the guns that I have, so if you have the time please educate me I would appreciate it. This is just part of my research, I am not expecting anyone to provide me definitive and legally binding answers. Thanks.

 

1. Remington Field Master 572. This gun's chamber holds more than 15 short rounds, so I believe that means it's a no go.

 

2. Steven's 16 gauge double barrel shotgun 2 3/4 chamber. I believe this is legal, but everyone seems cautious about shotguns.

 

3. Remington model 700. This is a bolt action 7mm mag with a scope on it.

 

4. 38 special revolver

 

5. Raven arms mp 25. 6 capacity mag.

 

I own no ammo for these guns and will transport them locked in the back of my car to my new home and will keep them locked there. I also will not register them or get an FID card unless I choose at some point to buy ammo for range shooting. At that point I'll join a gun club so that I can be properly educated on the state laws regarding those activities.

 

Thanks all,

Corvid

15 round tubular pump rifle might be ok..someone chime in..think it's ok cuz it's not a semi-auto..

 

"Large capacity ammunition magazine" means a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more

than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm.

 

DOUBLE CHECK THIS ANYWAY!

You are good to go on all of them. The 15-round mag limit applies to semi-automatic firearms - not pumps, levers or bolts.

 

You have my condolences.

 

Adios,

What pizza Bob said.

 

Join our club if you ever decide to shoot them. Plenty of friendly people to educate you and even take you shooting here at NJGF

 

Sorry to hear you have to move to NJ by the way.

I also live in jersey city! p.m. if you'd like to shoot sometime.

You know, I bet someone with a little web programming know-how could probably whip up a nice ban-list checklist. Have it be a series of questions to answer yes or no to (all on one page) with questions that ask:

 

Rifle pistol or shotgun?

 

Then, ask if the name is listed on the banned by name list (with a link to it)

 

Then ask, does it have a folding or telescoping stock, does it have a pistol grip, how many rounds does the magazine hold, so on and so forth. Box at the bottom lights up red or green once all the answers are filled out. Put a nice big disclaimer that this isn't legal advice and for entertainment purposes only. And voila.

I think the first question should be:

 

Are you already trapped in NJ or are you planning to move to NJ?

 

Because the algorithm would branch quite a bit from there.

Everyone, thanks for info. Socom16, when I get settled I'll do that.
