There are some on-line vendoirs that require it and others that do not.

Which vendors do not check?

You can not acquire handgun ammunition while in NJ without first having obtained a FPID or P2P, whether it is shipped to you, acquired privately, or through a dealer.

 

No person shall sell, give, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or receive, purchase, or otherwise acquire handgun ammunition unless the purchaser, assignee, donee, receiver or holder is licensed as a manufacturer, wholesaler, or dealer under this chapter or is the holder of and possesses a valid firearms purchaser identification card, a valid copy of a permit to purchase a handgun, or a valid permit to carry a handgun and first exhibits such card or permit to the seller, donor, transferor or assignor.

As I am under 21 I do not plan on purchasing handgun ammunition. I plan on purchasing 7.62x39 ammunition.

Speaking of Ammo.

 

Where is the law that states you have to give your FOID # to purchase ammo in NJ.

 

Someone I know has recently put in his FOID paperwork and was looking to purchase ammo.

The online url's he perused either didnt ship handgun ammo of required his FID on file.

 

Whenever I purchase in NJ I'am asked for my card, yet he says he cant find anything stating it is a requirement to purchase ammo.

 

Any help on this?

AIM surplus, and Southern Ohio Gun require both a FOID and DL for ammunition, while Midway USA just needs a DL.

 

Personally i like the first two, have ordered alot of ammo from AIM and SOG, I also run over to Ammo Man, but that is usually when a few of us go to do a group buy of ammo.

I dont recall sgammo.com asking for any ID.

Just bought from them. Never asked for anything from me.

The ones I used:

 

Cabelas : No

SgAmmo : No

Ammunition Depot : Yes, Sent a picture of FID.

Don't need FID for Rifle or Shotgun ammunition. At least to buy locally.

Yeah, you can probably buy that stuff. Also, perhaps it's a matter of mere semantics, But FID, or FPID are the proper terms. You don't need an FID to OWN a firearm, only to PURCHASE. May seem a minor issue, but it's a huge one for rights and such actually.

Technically you are breaking the law by purchasing ammo without the FID. Just because some companies will ship it to you without one, doesn't mean it's legal.

Only for HG ammo, I thought..?

Does not apply to rifle ammunition. OP stated they wish to purchase 7.62x39.

But I have a handgun that shoots that ammo.

What an instigator. You know as well as I do that the law defines handgun ammunition as that specifically designed to be used in a handgun. The 7.62x39 is first and foremost a rifle round.

 

I see what you did there

 

Adios,

How the hell did you manage to get that under 50 oz????

For those wanting to know the statute that refers to handgun ammunition purchases:

Dan thank you very much for the info, greatly appreciated.

By the letter of the law, .22lr isn't handgun ammo, not being designed exclusively for use in handguns (think about what the "lr" stands for.)

True but it is a common pistol caliber so it falls under that blanket, same thing with the 410 IIRC..

That's not what the law says. /pedant. Of course, if the firearms laws in NJ were enforced by the letter of the law, I would have had my P2P in less than 2 months...

targetsportsusa doesnt req a FID
