Assuming you find a dealer open on Sunday, are you able to purchase and take possession of a handgun/rifle?

NJ NICS is closed on Sundays and Holidays

OK, thanks.

PA isn't, for rifle/shotgun purchases.

Blackpowder and BB "firearms" can be sold in NJ also.

Nice is closed on Sundays and I would think that would prevent you from doing that unless you were able to get the nics check done on Saturday.

I was told that you can shop on Sunday and buy a gun. The store will fax in your NICS and have the results back on Monday. You can then go back to the store on Monday and providing you're approved, take possession.

That's correct but the OP states take possesion on Sunday. That is why I posted what I did.

BB rifles are considered shot guns in nj and must be checked by NICS . BB handguns need a PPP.

Wrong. They are transferred on the state form only. There is no 4473 or NICS.

That's a new one I never heard of before. CoE for long guns and PP for handguns. That is all.

Just to verify, a few months back we did some poking around and yes, BB and blackpowder guns do not require a NICS check.
