Is "To further enhance my firearms collection" good enough reason to put on the exception form?

 

thanks in advance!

Why not. I put down I collect revolvers and wanted to pick three up at the same time. Since I already had 4 revolvers I guess they had no issue with my request. It took just under two weeks to apply and receive the exemption. Would have been sooner but their printer wasn't working (NJSP).

Yes. Collecting is a valid reason. The contents of the collection are irrelevant.

yes you can do this, it is so funny because it seems easier and quicker to get this done then the getting the actual permits itself...good luck...

Well I expect to wait around 3 weeks to have this done. I'm getting 3 handguns so if I go the normal route it'll take me 2 months from the first one to last one if I don't skip any days. I can still purchase others handgun on my normal 30 day schedule independent of these 3 guns.

Not totally true. I believe after you buy these, you wait 30 days till the next one. Correct?

"Zombies" ?

 

People put that on Form 4s to the ATF as reasons for MGs and silencers. I don't have the balls to write that in, but they do get approved.

It is an exemption from one every 30 days, so you can buy 10, but then you must wait again 30 days.

Jersey City requires that you give a reason for needing an FID. I was soo tempted to put zombies. Didn't, of course, because I actually wanted to get the thing.

So after I use the 3 permits for the exemption, I'll have to wait 30 days for the next non exempt purchase? I thought the purchase from the exemption does not affect the "regular" purchases and the next non-exempt purchase just has to be 30 days after the prior non-exempt one.

Reason: because I wish to purchase a firearm.

YES I thought the purchase from the exemption does not affect the "regular" purchases and the next non-exempt purchase just has to be 30 days after the prior non-exempt one.NO - you can buy a non exempt HG and then do an exempt transaction right away, but not the other way around.

Oh god. Now if I'm ever asked to put down a reason on a form I'm going to be horribly tempted to write "zombies".

It's a pretty damn good reason.
