Is the house the only reason you're moving? I would sell that house and with the money you get from that sale, buy a house twice the size with acres of land around you in PA and shoot in your own back yard.

 

Seriously, don't move to NJ. You'll regret it later.

Is this a joke?

Is this a joke?

I hope not.

 

TxNj: If inheriting a house is the only reason you're moving into NJ you need to seriously reconsider. Do as others have suggested. Never mind the guns. You need to do some serious arithmetic with the taxes and other home related costs in this state. I assume if you're on full disability you don't have piles of money to burn. Sell the house you inherited, and take the money to another state where you will get more bang for your buck and not pay through the nose month to month to keep it.

 

And where you can enjoy freedom more fully.

Don't listen to the naysayers.

 

The Uzi is a no-go (banned by name). The AK can be neutered...no bayonet lug and pin the brake...if it's an under or side folder have it pinned. Same with the AR, if it has a flash hider get rid of it and have a brake put on and pinned/remove bayonet lug and if it has a collapsible stock get it pinned.

 

SKS with fixed mag is perfectly legal but if it has a detachable mag it's a no-go. I have Yugo and Chinese SKS rifles from Century (stock, no compliance work needed) they are fine.

 

No CCW, yes it's "legal" but in practice nobody is issue one in NJ.

 

The fact that you are tax exempt is one hell of a bonus considering NJ has some of the highest property taxes in the nation.

Lol thanks guys for all the info. I'm coming from San Antonio. I love my guns and I'm just glad y'all have shooting ranges there. I'm moving there because I inherited a house up there. I just became retired (medically) from the military with 100% disability and luckily don't have to pay property tax because of that. I plan on going to school full time to finish up my degrees. I'll be moving near McGuire AFB. I'll be up there in December. I'll keep an eye out for shooting ranges and competitions. Just hope I don't get in trouble up there

We'll thank you for your service I hope your condition doesn't impede what you want to accomplish in your life. Sounds like you've got that covered.

Skeet and trap, 200 yd rifle. 50 yd pistol. Archery. You can hunt and fish the property. Paintball and airsoft. All outdoor.

 

I would urge you to consider at some point a move to any other state but NJ. If you like this part of the country and are headed back to school, there are a multitude of excellent schools in PA. Many with online options to save on travel effort. But firearms are under attack in NJ. Gun owners are viewed little differently than violent criminals. Leave your Glock in your car accidentally and you will be treated more harshly than a guy who robbed a convenience store with a knife.

 

In any event, maybe we'll run into each at a local range. Good luck with the move and make sure you know what is and is not legal regarding firearms here. You don't want to be that guy in the news.

And we've got the highest car insurance rates.   And the highest estate/inheritance taxes.   And the idiotic final insult tax on selling your home and moving out of this godforsaken state.

Oh yeah. But we do have pork roll.

Let's say that house in Jersey is worth $300,000.

 

Let's say you didn't own that house in Jersey. But you inherited $300,000 in cash.

 

1. Would you look for a house to buy in Jersey?

 

No.

 

2. Would you look for THAT house in New Jersey to buy?

 

No.

 

You are making an irrational decision. You would never choose to move to Jersey, seek out a house in Jersey, or that house, if you just inherited the money. You need to sell that house and live in a place you actually want to live in. Jersey will kill your soul. You will die with a black heart.

Mipa, maybe he wants to keep the house have you ever thought about that?

 

It's not an irrational decision, it's his choice and his money let the man do what he wants with it.

 

Edit: and Jersey will "kill your soul" and "you will die with a black heart"? that can be said about other states, too.

Jersey will kill his soul. Ask Vladtepes, and he's a Jersey native. This guy has no idea what planting roots in that horrible state will do to him.

 

As far as the house is concerned, people inherit houses because it is automatic and requires no thought or decision making. Not because it is wise, not because it is a good financial decision, and not because they want to live there.

 

This is the biggest classic financial and lifestyle blunder people make. It makes more people miserable than Meth and Bathsalts combined. It is a weakness prevalent in all of us.

 

And that is why it is ALWAYS important to ask a person if they were handed the money would they move to Jersey. No sane person would, and people have to genuinely consider it from that perspective. If he actually has always wanted to live in Jersey, great. I think the chances of that are near zero.

The guy said he's going to finish school. prob on the GI Bill and the school presumably is local to his house. No taxes on the house. if thats the case sounds like a sound plan. maybe in a few yrs when school is done and the house has gained a little value he can move on to greener pastures.Unless one of our hot NJ babes grounds him lol. 

GI Bill is valid nation-wide. It's not a coincidence he plans to go to school near where there is a house he inherited. New Jersey has no education that can't be found elsewhere.

"NJ will kill his soul"...my soul is as black as they come and I'm still alright...I also haven't developed cancer or noticed any unusual growths from drinking the water.

Again, the man has his own reasons that may extend beyond inheriting the house.

Exactly so lets all stop thinking we know whats best for him...we get enough of the "we know whats best for you" crap cfrom the government already..

If the home has sentimental value, so be it. Otherwise, there are very many sound reasons to choose another state.

First, thank you for your service. Second, you said near McGuire AFB. I live near the AFB.  Have you been here yet to review the area? If I may ask what town? Square footage of the house? I can pretty much then tell you what your taxes would be. You may be exempt from property taxes, but of these towns by the base have a "local purpose tax" will you be exempt from them? Those taxes can be in the thousands $$ too.

 

Sadly, I would do what most have recommended. Sell the house and move to a more gun friendly and less costly state. We have the highest property taxes, highest auto insurance, the most corrupt liberal politicians, thousands of illegal aliens, major cities with high crime, the worst gun laws. It is a great area to live in though: 40 minutes from the shore; 45 minutes to Philly; Hour or so by train to NYC.

 

When you do come up, let us know. I will take you out for a beer.

For what it's worth, there is no tax on selling your home and moving out of State.     There is a tax withholding for out-of-State residents who sell a property in NJ.

I never paid any NJ capital gains tax. You just have to live in your home 24 months out of the preceding 5 years of the sale.

How about the exit tax 

http://www.ehow.com/info_8676886_new-tax-moving-out-state.html

the mythical exit tax. also for the above 2 outa 5 yr primary residence thing the profit of the sale is tax exempt up to $500k married or $250k single.

Correct. Most are not in that category.

Like the article says, it's not a new tax.  It is a tax withholding against the tax that would otherwise be due on the profit from the sale.  Like an income tax withholding from a paycheck.    If no tax is actually due, the withholding will returned after a NJ tax return is filed.

Turn around and go back!

I just made the move in the opposite direction...NJ to TX and I'll offer this advice...if you don't HAVE to keep the house in NJ, don't. Aside from a few people I met in 21+ years, NJ has absolutely NO redeeming qualities and I will not willingly return for any reason. I may have to for my sister-in-law's wedding but that's not negotiable with my wife.
