Stupid question,maybe, but I dont know so I'm asking.Say a buddy of mine is in NJ and owns a handgun obtained legally out of state via prior residence.Its NJ legal but he is without a FPID card and thus unable to purchase ammo here.Putting aside the common sense aspect of him obtaning a FPID can I buy ammo and give/sell it to him or is that a no-no.I'm gonna guess that as long as the gun and he are legal its not a problem but in this state....

Just thinking out loud here but...

 

If he were to drive to PA and purchase ammo at a store they wouldn't ask for FID. So I don't know what difference it would make if he were to get it from you. Ammo isn't serialized or anything. Yet.

This Week.....there isnt a porblem with you giving your friend ammunition, happens all the time in fact, people reload for others, make road trips and so-on, the FPID is only needed to Purchase Ammounition, not to possess it. THAT SAID..many online sources will require the FPID before they will **** ammunition to NJ, so if your friend ever plans on doing any real shooting, he is going to need that FPID, or be willing to drive to Pa

He can not acquire it while in NJ.

 

No person shall sell, give, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or receive, purchase, or otherwise acquire handgun ammunition unless the purchaser, assignee, donee, receiver or holder is licensed as a manufacturer, wholesaler, or dealer under this chapter or is the holder of and possesses a valid firearms purchaser identification card, a valid copy of a permit to purchase a handgun, or a valid permit to carry a handgun and first exhibits such card or permit to the seller, donor, transferor or assignor.

Hmmm, I'll take door #2 please:

Amazingly enough, the law (as quoted by PK90, above) seems pretty clear on this issue. If the transaction takes place in NJ, both the donor and the donee need to have FPID's. Tell your friend to drive to PA or get a FPID.

 

JMHO.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

Cabela's will ship handgun ammo to NJ residents without requiring a FPID FYI.

Go to PA, DE or buy online.

Oh yea, the law. It does seem unusually specific on this one subject(thanx PK90).Again its just ANOTHER example of the stupid shi* the state lays down when it can be circumvented fairly easy and legally buying out of state

NM

Sounds like a law that will not be enforced unless they wanna slap another charge on someone they arrest for selling illegal guns.

 

I'd go by these rules is I were you

 

is this someone you know?

Is this someone you would feel safe being around with a loaded gun?

Are they a danger to themselves or other people?

 

Here is a messed up circumstance for ya. My buddy is a cop who doesnt have a firearms I'd card. He can carry a gun but can't buy ammo. When we shoot he brings department ammo and I go pick up the ammo for the non issued guns. We then split the cost. If he were to leave the range with the ammo that would be illegal according to law.

But you said your buddy brings ammo to the range with him. Does the law differentiate department ammo from other ammo? What is the difference if you give him ammo in NJ or his police department gives him ammo in NJ? He is still acquiring ammo in NJ. Or is he not a cop in NJ?

Is ammunition, like the semi auto vs bolt magazine where over fifteen mag is ok as long as it can't go into any semi auto gun. Like there are 9mm 40 45 carbines. So isn't there technically no such thing as "handgun ammo"

Ok he can pick up issued ammo but if we were to go to a range that sold ammo he couldn't leave with it. And let's say for instance I brought a 9mm and he gave me the money for the ammo he was shooting he would have to shoot it all or give it to me or the range master. The ammo in his gun is fine but if the rangemaster wanted to make a stink he probably would have to hand over the extra .40 ammo. Luckily my sig shoots .40 so he surrenders it to me. I of course never complain.

But in a side note the rangemaster hasn't pulled anything about the Dept ammo.

Oh and they want you to buy their ammo which he can't leave with. All this leads to us going to the club I belong to. We run full auto out there and was only told once it was frowned apon. Not against the rules though. We were emptying 30 round mags like we were in war
