A coworker wants to receive a pair of handguns from his father-in-law, a NY resident. He is currently obtaining his Pistol Permits but when he asked his local PD how to carry out the transaction they told him "just have your FIL transport it into the state and fill out the paperwork F2F".

 

This is not a legatee or beneficiary issue. I was positive that even though this is not a "sale" as in money changing hands, it still has to go through a FFL holder (PLUS get the OGAM exemption) but I can't find that in writing. The sticky at the top of this section has a citation but I can't figure out what it's pointing to.

 

Can I get a citation or something to show him?

Has to go through FFL due to federal law and has to use pistol permit due to NJ law.

 

His father can bring it to the FFL and do the transaction there, once every 30(+1) days.

 

Even though the local PD says he can do it FTF, the NJSP may be alerted when they get the paperwork and it could create a problem.

must go through and FFL and he must follow the OGAM rules unless he files for an exemption to obtain both handguns at once.

 

He's easiest route is to just get the first one through and ffl wait 30 days and do it again. It's going to be more expensive b/c he'll have two nics and two transfer charges but if he wants to save money then he has to file for an exemption which he then needs to have the serial numbers etc while filing for an exemption.

That's pretty much what I was thinking but I was hoping for a place I could show him in the code. I went through Title 13 Chapter 54 but I didn't find what I was looking for.

Anybody have it in writing...?

Not sure what you're after here...A 2c cite?

 

I've outlined the law...if you're not happy with it, feel free to take possession and ignore it.

Yes, I can't find it just by searching the NJ Legislature site. I'd like to print something for him to look at or bring to his PD. I thought it should be somewhere in 2C:58-2 or -3 but I don't see what I was looking for.

 

And whether or not I like it is irrelevant, I'm trying to keep my buddy legal.

Thanks, that should do it.
