Hey guys. My grandma asked me recently if I wanted to have my grandpa's old revolver. I told her I'd love that. She acquired the gun when my grandpa died and has no FPID or anything as far as I know, so I was wondering if she'd need one or anything else besides the standard PPP before selling me the gun. Thanks.

She won't need anything. You'll need a PP and FID. When you do the transaction, you'll have to fill out a NJ COE (2 copies - 1 for each of you). Where it asks for her FID, just say None or N/A.

Alright sweet. Thanks for the quick response man. Can't wait. This revolver has a lot of sentimental value for me.

Nick, correction. it is a revolver. He needs FID and PPP.

He doesn't need a Firearms purchaser ID to buy a pistol. Yes, I'm being nitpicky.

Wait what? PPP vs PP? PPP/PP are the same thing.... Pistol Permit encompasses all handguns. And yes you do need a FID.

PPP=Pistol Purchase Permit. PP=Pistol Permit. Same thing, I think we all knew what he meant.

Yeah - I said he'd need his FID, Pistol Permit, and CoE...... Not sure what the other guys were talking about.

COE not necessary

Ahh right sorry - PP is basically the COE.

LOL

 

You guys are crazy and ALL WRONG. Well sorta.

FPID = FID = "Firearms Purchaser Identification Card" and is NOT required.

 

COE = CE = "Certificate of Eligibility" is NOT required.

 

PPP = PP = P2P = "Permit to Purchase a Handgun & Form of Register" and is the ONLY form required.

FPID = FID = "Firearms Purchaser Identification Card" and is NOT required.

 

COE = CE = "Certificate of Eligibility" is NOT required.

 

PPP = PP = P2P = "Permit to Purchase a Handgun & Form of Register" and is the ONLY form required.

 

And the truth shall set you free! +1

Thanks for all the replies guys. I'll be acquiring that bad boy just as soon as the PD gives me my permits.

Don't you need an FID to apply for a P2P?

You sure about that? Last I checked, You need an FID to get a P2P. So yeah, I'd say FID is required.

 

A firearms purchaser ID is not required to get a permit to purchase a pistol.

 

You'd be foolish not to check both boxes(FPID/PP) when you apply for a pistol permit, but it is not required.

totally true.

Technically?? No, but you DO need it to buy Handgun Ammo from any retailer here, and Many online retailers want a copy as well.

You do not need a FPID to buy handgun ammo. A valid copy of a P2P will suffice - you may have a hard time to get a retailer to agree, but that's the law.

I agree. I will even accept an executed permit, as the law does not say it has to be pre-used. Is a permit no longer a permit once used? The law allows one to acquire a Permit to Purchase ONLY and not a FPID. How is one supposed to acquire ammo for a handgun after purchased? (BTW, these are all rhetorical questions)
