Their is one area that is unclear to me. If I make a purchase online am I required to mail/fax a copy of the NJ Handgun permit form to the seller for them to fill out and then they need to mail it back to the Local/State PD?

 

The NJSP FAQ eludes to this "The permit must be completed by the seller and buyer. It is the responsibility of the seller to forward the copies to the appropriate authority. Instructions are printed on the permit" but it doesn't define if the procedure differs if I'm doing business online.

From what I understand, the purchased hangun would have to be sent to a NJ FFL. Then you'd go there with your pistol purchase permit and take ownership of the gun. You'd "buy and pay" for the gun online at the place of sale, and pay the FFL a transfer fee (from $25 to $100) and the cost of the NICS.

When you make the purchase you give them the contact information of your local FFL who will do the transfer. Their ffl talks to your ffl and sends the gun. Then your FFL handles all the NJ permit paperwork.

The seller has to ship to a valid FFL of your choice. You then deal with the local FFL. You bring him the pistol permit and he will forward to proper agency. HTH.

Three guys all typing at the same time :-)

For once, an easy question. Perhaps someone should start a 9mm/.45 discussion or ask what's the best lube.

Before you purchase on-line, you need to make arrangements with a NJ FFL to receive your gun. Once the purchase is made, the NJ FFL has to send a copy of his license to the seller, who then ships the gun to your FFL. If buying from a private party, make sure your receiving FFL is OK with that - not all are. While you are paying the on-line source, you are not taking possession directly from them. You give your P2P to the NJ FFL dealer who receives your gun from the on-line seller. The NJ FFL completes and distributes the form as well as the 4473 (federal) and the NICS check. Transfer fees vary - check first.

 

Adios,

That was what I was going to ask next if I can go to my FFL dealer and he'd handle all the the proper paperwork for me. I wasn't sure if I needed to fax the seller the form before he was able to ship it to my FFL.

Ffl in NJ handles everything.

I appreciate everyones help...I know this may be a simple question but I rather have all my facts straight from people who know.

Make sure you check with your local FFL about what he charges to do the transfer. There is no set price. I've seen numbers from $40 - $117 including transfer and NICS check.

You don't want any surprises when you go to pick up your gun.

Yep, it's ranges widely. Bob's charges $50 for non-members and Hague's charges $100 for non-members, for transfers, as of a couple years ago.

If you want to find (relatively) reasonably priced FFL's in your area, go to Bud's and check their data base of the fees charged by all the FFLs that they deal with.

RTSP is $35+ NICS for members. You should be able to find an FFL that is local to you with that type of price.

You need to make sure your FFL does transfers, then have the FFL fax the seller a copy of his FFL. the seller will then ship the gun to the FFL, and he (FFL) will transfer to you.

Some websites already have NJ FFL licenses on file and all you have to do is call the FFL.

I know also Bud`s has this.

Why dont you tell us your location and someone here could prob recomend one in your area.

I live in Essex County and right now I'm in the process of getting my initial FID and permit. I had a local FFL in mind but ill take the advice of more experienced members to find the best FFL dealer for me.

True Value Hardware in Lincoln Park will do the transfer for $40 with NICS included - that's as cheap as it gets.
