I tried searching for this information but couldn't find what I needed so I apoligize in advance if this has already been covered. I'm going to be gifted a handgun from a longtime family friend who's husband passed away several years ago. The gun was his and she just wants to get rid of it. Is it necessary to go through the FFL like I was purchasing it? Thanks

Assuming you are both in NJ - you don't need an FFL. However I'm pretty sure you need a P2P (someone check this). If you have a P2P then is simply a private purchase at zero cost. If she is in another state I think you will need an FFL and likely a P2P.

 

Love your avatar (stainless SIGs are great).

No, but assuming the gifter in a NJ resident you will need to obtain a permit to purchase a handgun, just like you would for any handgun purchase. You simply fill out the bottom left hand corner of the form and return copies to the state and issuing authority. This will save you the NICS and transfer fees of an FFL.

I applied for a P2P about a month ago and was told it could take six months to get it back due to the backlog. Ill just have to wait! Here is what I'll be getting, I really like stainless.
