I was told that the Gamo Whisper air rifle is illegal in NJ because it is considered to have a silencer. Does anyone know if this correct?

I've heard the same. It's a silenced firearm, so no good supposedly.

I will not sell them.

I have looked into this. Absolutely NOT legal in the P.R.N.J.

It "looks" like it has a suppressor, therefore no good.

It is a sound suppressor, not a flash suppressor. It would be Federally illegal if it was made to suppress a firearm. However, a pellet gun is not a firearm, but it is in NJ.

 

2C:39-1g: Firearm silencer" means any instrument, attachment, weapon or appliance for causing the firing of any gun, revolver, pistol or other firearm to be silent, or intended to lessen or muffle the noise of the firing of any gun, revolver, pistol or other firearm.

2C:39-3c: Any person who knowingly has in his possession any firearm silencer is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.
