After reading handgun exemption procedures it says:

 

Be advised the following handgun transfers are not subject to the purchase of one handgun every thirty days

law and thus the transactions DO NOT require the completion of the new “Application for Multiple Handgun

Purchase Exemption” form (S.P. 015) and the new “Seller/Transferor Certification” form (S.P. 016):

• Gifted Handguns (person to person transfers only).
  

 

The specific legislation as it pertains to one gun per thirty days is

identified as:

P.L., 2009 Chapter 104 Prohibits individuals from purchasing more than one handgun in a calendar month.

P.L., 2009 Chapter 168 Clarifies that certain transfers of handguns are not subject to law prohibiting purchase of more than one handgun in a 30-day period.

P.L., 2009 Chapter 186 Provides certain exemptions from law prohibiting purchase of more than one handgun in a 30-day period.

 

After looking at those 3 chapters, none of them mention anything about gifted handguns or person to person transfers. From the looks of it, FTF handgun transfers are not exempt from OGAM. If true, I wonder why the letter said "Gifted Handguns (person to person transfers only)." are exempt. Unless I am misreading things or someone knows more about this than I do.

I believe you're reading this incorrectly. My guess would be that Gifted Handguns person to person transfer are exempt but gifted handguns that utilize an FFL (say father in FL to son in NJ for instance) would not be exempt. By exempt - they may also be referring to the law which allows exemptions after obtaining permission...

 

So sad that we have to ask the state "Mother may I buy this batch of guns for my collection?"

I never noticed the "gifted handguns" statement before. Hmmm

I do not *think* they are........I do know someone who did two FTF in a 30day period and got a call from their respective PD and the NJSP...with a warning..... YMMV but why screw around?

FTF gifted looks to be exempt but are there any parameters on who is allowed to do the gifting?

 

In fact, is GIFT defined anywhere? Suppose I clean a friend's driveway with my snow plow for the winter just as a neighborly gesture(no expectation of payment expressed or implied) can he gift me a gun if he felt like it and it would be OGAM exempt?

imo not a gift because irregardless of your intentions if he is giving you the gun as a "gift" for services rendered then it is IMO payment.. if you take out the snowplow thing and are far less specific.. "my neighbor likes me a lot and gives me a gun" then yeah that is a gift..

irregardless

 

...is not a word in the English language.

Interesting thread. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

I THINK THAT GIFTED IN THE STATE OF NJ MEANS FROM PARENT TO CHILD STIPULATED IN A WILL

 

OR VERBALLY FROM LIVING PARENT. I'M NOT 100% SURE BUT THIS IS HOW I ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD

 

YOU COULD GET A FIREARM WITHOUT A PERMIT IN NJ.

 

SCIG

I THINK TURNING OFF THE CAPS LOCK IS A GOOD IDEA.

Link in original post stopped working for me. Here is another copy of the letter.

 

NJSP Letter to Chiefs of Police

You are posing a very valid question.

 

The way I would interpret the law it would be exempt, but then again, like everything else related to gun in NJ, it's open to interpretation.

 

I would bet that if you called the NJSP firearms division 10 times to ask for their view, over a 3 month period, you would get conflicting answers each time you called. How this state can enforce laws without providing written guidelines to anyone boggles my mind.

Well, the author of that letter has since retired, so the NJSP will say that that portion was a mistake.

and as interesting as that is I am certainly not going to be the first or last to ever use it..

It's such a shame that you and others refuse to learn.
