Situation 1: Person A [nj resident] can get long gun directly from manufacturer and can extend those to friends and family. He wants to extend to a friend in NJ [Person B]. How can this be accomplished given NJ's laws on transferring long gun?

 

I'm not sure if this can be done the same as described in situation 2 or would Person A have to accept it from FFL then legally sell/transfer it to Person B using properly filled out COE.

NY requires very little for ownership/purchase of long gun, no FID, no registration. I assume Person A can call manufacturer, order firearm to be shipped to NY FFL (not in nyc), pay using his own CC, and Person B can pick up gun from FFL after FFL does federal/state required checks.

 

 

Reading this tells me the scenarios above are OK http://njgunforums.c...__1#entry469779

 

However, I recall seeing a post with the actual wording of the statute (which I now can't find) and the ambiguity of it left me wondering exactly what is/is not "straw-man".

 

Thank you for the input.

1. 
   first of all, I don't personally know of any manufacturers that will ship a gun directly to an individual,and any transfer coming from out of state is supposed to go thru a ffl
   

AFAIK Federal law on "straw purchases" indicate that if the intent of person A in purchasing a gun is to turn around and immediately sell it to person B, that would be a straw purchase unless person A is a dealer licensed to do such things. There are provisions for when it is an actual "gift". It is also OK to purchase a gun for one's self, then maybe they get bored of it after some time and decide to sell it off. The entire concept is around the intent of the purchase.

Please change "Person" to indicate state of residence

Also change "firearm" to either Handgun or Long Gun
