So here is the scenario, and I'd like to know if and how someone can make ownership of the BB gun legit:

 

.177 Gamo Rifle Pellet gun, with scope.

Gift from friend years ago.

 

Years later, individual comes to find-out that BB/Pellet guns are treated like a firearm in NJ.

 

How can individual make this BB gun Legal?

 

EDIT: Individual has their FID.

If you're concerned about it, fill out a Certificate of Eligibility both parties sign it and you're done.

Without having to delve into more details on a public forum, just do a CoE now, or KYMS.

Isn't that just the stupidest thing? Being from PA I found that out "almost" the hard way.

What if the friend is no longer around?

What does KYMS stand for?

What does KYMS stand for?

Dead, lost or living elsewhere?

It is a nicer way to say STFU.

KYMS = Keep your mouth shut

What would be the process if it were a BB pistol?

thats the best

What would be the process if it were a BB pistol?

 

Pistol Purchase Permit

Pistol Purchase Permit

 

 

How could you do that if you already had it? You couldn't take it to an FFl to transfer it to yourself. It would be considered an illegal handgun if you had it since you were a kid and no way to make it legal.

I'm sure the transfer took place outside of NJ, where BB guns are not firearms. Remember, there's no issue with bringing a firearm that you legally possessed from out of state into the state.
