I'm sure this question has been asked but I can't find it anywhere. I have read the transportation laws and my interpretation is that a private handgun transaction would have to take place at either the sellers home or an FFL. Is that a correct assumption? I have read a lot of classifieds on here that seem to indicate otherwise.

Usually best to meet at a range, then you both (buyer / seller) qualify for the travel exemptions.

My understanding is any exempted location where it is lawful to possess the handgun will work including home, business where the handgun owner can carry and shooting range (not necessarily with an FFL attached).

Yea, that's what I think too..is range parking lot acceptable?

I would think so if it is range property and not very public.  I would have no problem with a range like Cherry Ridge parking lot, but at GFH I would at least go into the building to the rear seating area.

Travel exemption, whether written or not, would have to include from where you just purchased or where you are going to sell a firearm, otherwise we could never leave from where we purchase guns and we could never bring guns to sell, dealer or otherwise.

Not to nitpick; but the "place of purchase" covers the purchaser, what about the seller?

Don't think that would fly at GFH... No open arms other than in range and pointing down range...

Please read 2C:39-6.e yourself.  Everyone should be familiar with 2C:39-6, since your firearm ownership (firearms are illegal in NJ) is only allowed via these exemptions. 

 

I have read it, numerous times, and my interpretation is still the same, home or allowable place of use. Like olderguy said, your interpretation seems to cover the buyer but what about the seller? Does "any place of purchase" really mean any place of purchase or does it mean any place where it is legal to purchase? Is the buyer even covered under this interpretation if the location of the transaction isn't legal?
