please explain how the ogam laws

Featured Replies

hey guys I have 6 permits coming in this week and need to know the rules and exactly how I need to use them legally with the ogam laws, I all ready have 3 paid for all i have to do is just go pick them up from the sellers, but I need to know details on how to do this the right way, 30th day, 31st day? i especially need to know about getting the extensions on the other 3 permits on the 90th day?

When looking for info regarding OGAM be careful to clearly define the terms you're using when perusing threads. I think there is a lot of confusion generated by the words "Buy" "Purchase" "Get" etc. When dealing with OGAM, "Purchase" does not equal "Buy and bring home" as it might when talking about ammo/toasters/sunscreen etc. OGAM really means "Take Legal Possession of a Pistol from an FFL or Private Seller Once Every 30 Days". You can "Purchase" (as in give the man your money so that the pistol you want now financially belongs to you) 60 different pistols from any number of gun shops but you can only take legal possession of them one at a time, once every 30 days.

In order to "float" the legislation, they allow exemptions to OGAM. The exemption process is basically a rubber-stamp situation. You just claim that you are a competitive shooter or collector or are inheriting these guns or whatever situation available that best fits your situation and you file the forms and off you go.

NICE! this is very good information to know, thats why i love this forum! how many times can you file for this exemption, were do i get the forms njsp? can you do this with face to tranactions or only with a fire arms vendor?

Baby Steps:

You fill out THIS form and print it out.

Have each seller fill out THIS form and print it out.

Take all forms to your PD to send to the NJSP per their directions. (link to be provided)

 

Just want to clarify... You must file the paperwork and be approved BEFORE picking up the guns.

Other members have filed for the exemption, and I believe most were approved in about 2-3 weeks.

They are listed somewhere on this site, but I can not find them.

I've done exemptions numerous times, no fees for the exemption itself but you still need a permit for each handgun (and will pay accordingly there). Turn around time is usually 2-3 weeks as stated above IF your town knows what to do with the paperwork, otherwise it may sit somewhere when they don't know how to handle it. There is no limit to the amount of times you can apply and potentially receive exemptions, keep in mind you can do one exemption for transfers from multiple sellers at one time if you desire.

this is what i plan on doing, 2 from one seller and one from another seperate seller...i wish i understood this exemption thing earlier, i would have applied from the very begining, but i had little problem, originally my pd didnt want to allow me to apply for 6 pp, the detective thought im only allowed 3 permits at a time, i tried to explain, but i had to make a quick call to detective sluetter at the njsp to clear that up for me, i hope i dont have to do the same with this exemption thing, but i will call if i have to.
