I'm sure that this has been covered MANY times, but I've searched and can't find anything. I'm assuming its because PA is not three letters...

 

Anyway, a family friend has a few guns for sale. He lives in PA. I'm looking at a shotgun, rifle, and pistol. What's the procedure for doing this all legal like?

 

Thank you

none of this can be done through a "face to face" transfer from him to you directly...the shotgun and rifle (if in current jersey legal form) can be taken to a pa or nj ffl and transferred through them...but the pistol will need to be sent to a nj ffl and taken posession by you in nj at a nj ffl.,.....and you will need a valid pistol permit...some nj ffls will allow your friend to ship directly..others want it shipped from an ffl to them....

Nice. Thank you.

Or the seller could drop them off at a NJ FFL if they're close to NJ.
