Looking to buy ammo from someone in another forum. Would I run into any problems doing so? It's not hollow points or anything nj illegal

Hollow points aren't illegal in NJ. Regardless, there's no legal problem with shipping to or from private parties. Ups or Fedex will ship it with an ORM-D label (Aerosols and flammables); not sure if USPS permits it at all. My guess is that it doesn't.

Thanks man I thought I heard something stupid about hollow points but I guess I was mistaken

UPS or FEDEX only.

Also - not all UPS stores will accept ORM-D packages to ship out - you'd probably have to go to a main UPS shipping location.

 

Happened to me.

Oh, I'm sure that you heard something stupid about hollow points. NJ is the only state in the union that has laws governing their possession. Rule of thumb is that if you're OK to have a handgun in a given place, then you're OK to have hollow point ammo. The only exception to that rule is moving. There is no provision in NJ law to transport hollow point ammo when you move from one house to another.

Has there been any update on Brian Aitken's appeal on this? I still find it hard to believe they dropped the hi-cap mag charges but hung him with not being able to transport hollow points between residences while moving. What to do if you sell your home to a convicted felon? Now that is a catch 22. LOL

I'm not purchasing pistol rounds I'm only 19. 223 for me

Nothing in the law specifies handgun hollow points. Just hollow point bullets (yeah, the projectile; not the cartridge) and they still follow the rules for pistols. So even though you aren't dealing with handguns/handgun ammo, you still need to know those rules since they apply to rifle ammo as well.

Aitken got away with the magazine issue on a technicality. The police never tested the magazines to ensure they would properly feed into a semi-auto.

Take your hollow point ammo with you to the range and shoot some...Then, go Home (new home) from the range.

 

Stupidest loophole in history.

But you have to admit, it is so New Jersey. Point out one gun law that really makes sense when you think about it.

You don't even need to shoot them. Just step onto range property.

Yes. But, if I go to a range...I'm going to shoot

The range doesn't even have to be in operating hours, lol

The law though doesn't even give an exemption for going back home from the range with hollow points, so if you go to the range and shot some hps then go home wouldn't you be breaking the law

I think you should re-read the statute because my reading of the law is that you are mistaken.

yeah otherwise how do you buy ammo and bring it home?
