Im curious about co-owning a rifle with a friend. If we decided to split the cost of an EXPENSIVE new toy, say M82A1, how would you go about registering it? Is it even possible?

No such thing in NJ. Hell your WIFE can't co-own a gun with you in this state.

Funny but very true!

can I let a buddy "borrow" a rifle to shoot at the range and then return it when he's done? Since I would not be present, Im not sure if its legal.

I'd prefer it that way! That way whats MINE is still MINE!

50 BMG? Where you gonna shoot it?

who says its a .50? (maybe its a .416 so that it isnt prohibited like the .50bmg)

You can purchase a rifle, and then transfer it to a friend on a COE. He now owns it. He takes it to the range, decides ammo cost is absurd, and transfers it back to you on a COE. You now own it.

.50 BMG is not, despite the efforts of some, Prohibited..that said I dont know of many (if ANY) ranges that would A: Allow you to shoot it, and B: Have a long enough range to make it worthwhile.

As others have said, you can't co-own the gun, however you may volunteer to buy the gun and your friend supply the ammo...

I have a box of them and leave one sitting on my desk just because it is so absurdly huge. Someday I will have something to shoot them...

PB - I believe this was disproven before. Security corps regularly own weapons.

Can't use a .50bmg at a indoor range. My friend learned that the hard way at a military indoor range. The next day he two coworkers were in the hospital for mild concussions.

I think that if you read that entire thread, the general concensus reached was that a corporation cannot own a firearm, except for the exceptions noted in the thread for armored security companies and even those exceptions are being phased out.

 

The argument put forth hinged on the definition of "person" as given in the NJAC (there is a definition section in the statutes also, and there is no definition of "person" there), stating that the word could mean any corporation or entity, etc, etc. That actually bolsters my argument that a corporation cannot own a firearm, because by making the word "person" all-encompassing it means they are bound by the same laws as an individual purchasing firearms. An organization cannot qualify under the criteria required on the STS-33 form - which applies to individual, natural persons, ergo a corporation cannot fulfill the requirements for purchase.

 

Adios,

I'm pretty sure OBRPC lets you at the outdoor range. 100 yards hardly makes it worth it though.
