If your PD does extensions as per the law, you can acquire six handguns within a 180 period.

ok so my math says that i bought my ww2 hi power on dec 7(yup) now on Jan 7 (31 calender days ) i can get my remington rand right? i counted starting the day AFTER, dec 8)

The more you buy, the more it looks like you are a collector.

2C:58-3 Purchase of firearms.

i. Restriction on number of firearms person may purchase. Only one handgun

shall be purchased or delivered on each permit and no more than one handgun shall be

purchased

within any 30-day period

, but this limitation shall not apply to:

 

This is the pertinent citation in the law (my underline). I recently went over this with my FFL to make sure I'm right.

 

This section means that within any contiguous 30-day period there can only be one day when a handgun was purchased. Here's my example.

 

I buy a pistol on 12/14/2011. 12/15/2011 is day 1; the lower boundary of a 30-day period and the first day when I don't purchase a pistol. 1/13/2012 is the 30th day I have not purchased a handgun, and the upper boundary in the 30 day period. During that 30 day period (inclusive), if I haven't made a handgun purchase I am entitled to one. So on 1/13/2012 I can buy my next pistol. I can't buy one on 1/12/2012 because 12/14/2011 is within the 30-day boundaries.

 

To put it another way, any day you purchase a handgun must be a member of a contiguous 30-day (inclusive) period that does NOT contain another day when you purchased a handgun. And obviously, we can only look backward.

 

A Burkhart calendar, used a lot by banks, clearly shows the count of days following any particular date. You can also make the same calculation here: http://www.nr.com/julian.html

 

Happy Waiting.

At my local firearms dealer, even though the month had 31 days, I was told that I have to wait until the calendar day of my last purchase. So, if I purchased a handgun on May 15th, I have to wait until June 15th. When I do my calculations and begin with May 15th, there are 17 days in May. So, and it would bring me to 31 days if I buy on the 14th, however, the vendor won't sell until the 15th. He also claims that because it was so confusing the calendar day 14th to 14th, 15th to 15th, etc. was adopted. Is that true?

 

If I purchase a handgun on May 15th, can I purchase another on June 14th like I believe (as outlined by the last poster), or do I have to wait until the 15th? If I can, then why is my dealer giving me a hard time? And, if by some reason I cannot and I have to wait, what happens if it is called in? Is the dealer charged? Would it just get declined and I would have to wait until the next day?

OGAM is only by name, don't know why it's so hard but the day you buy it call that day ZERO, the following day is DAY 1, count to DAY 30 and that's the day you can buy your gun. Anything other than that is wrong.

 

By the way if your FFL says that is wrong, ask him about buying a gun on Feb 1st, would he sell you one on Mar 1st??

As in all things 'NJ'... there will come a day when OGAM means all long guns too. Not really trying to be political, just simple logic that "shit rolls downhill."
