So I just got a disturbing call from the NJ State police about my Sig that I bought from a member on the forum a few months ago. They said the wrong serial number was written down on the paper work. And they were asking for my serial number. Is this odd? The time is suspicious too. I just mailed my sig last week to sig to have the short reset trigger done. Wonder if sig ran the number when I sent it to them. Could just be a coincidence but still odd timing.

I have never had it personally done, but an FFL told me he has gotten that call before. It was a typo in his case, so i guess it happens. Doubt it has anything to do with you sending it back to SIG...

You still have your copy of the transfer form, right? Is the number wrong or illegible?

I've been called to provide correct info to replace bad info. The call was from the FFL though, not NJSP. The FFL got the call from the government that his paperwork had issues he needed to resolve.

They must be now getting around to all the paperwork. I too just got a call from a Janice at NJSP about a minor error on a P2P from January when I and a friend exchanged firearms.

Have to say however she was very efficient and friendly, even contacting my town's CLEO to inform him of the change they were going to do on the P2P.

Yep....there was a Sig involved also.

the State Police do call if the serial # is incorrect, they just ask to correct it on the permits

...which was the case in my instance, my 7's need work apparently.

Yes...happened to me also. They were very nice and professional.

It's happened to me also. No big deal. They were very cool about it and they were 100% correct.

 

 

This is interesting, quite a few corrections posted..

what sig? didnt you sell that out of state?

Sign me up for this club as well.

 

NJSP called and as others have stated they handled it very nicely. Corrected the permit and life goes on.

No reason to fear confiscation am I right?

No. I sold a revolver and the gun was stamped and hard to read. That was the cuase of my dealings. They were gtg when I went down

I did check my paper work and the he had wrote his FID number instead of the serial number. So it was wrong. She told me to cross out the number and write in the serial. That is what she said she did on her paperwork. And that now I have to contact my PD to let them know. I hope that is all good. Doesn't seem very legal to be able to cross out a serial number and put another. But then again I don't wont have to redo all the paperwork again either. The state police apparently are reviewing all person to person sale right now.

Close your blinds, lock your doors and start tunneling out from under your home over to your neighbors. They are out to get you. It's already too late to purchase a fake mustache disguise.
