OGAM question (private sales)

Featured Replies

Do private sales apply to OGAM?

 

For example if you do a private sale and then go to the dealer to buy something else. Is that possible?

Yup.  Seller still has to send in the copies to Issuing Department and NJSP all filled in with date and such, so that kinda puts the buyer on the hook for adhering to the law!  Dates on the P2Ps are the key!  And the postmark on the envelope is within 5 days of the sale date on the P2P!

This of course is for normal circumstance.

To put it succinctly, if you buy a (20) hand gun collection from an estate sale, the 30-day clock starts when the ink is dry on the OGAM paperwork / transfer that has to be sent to NJSP.

A buddy of mine tried buying a pistol on day 29. He actually got a call from the njsp a couple days later asking why he tried to do that and he can charged

A lot of people seem to think that OGAM does not apply to private sales of used hand guns. Just an observation I've made.

I've noticed that too........I guess they don't think anyone in the Data Reduction Unit is looking at the dates on the permits, well they certainly do.

Then I think that most people that think that way^^^^ are truly STUPID and probably shouldn't be allowed to buy hand guns in the first place!  OGAM Exemption was designed for basically (3) things:

 

1.  So that a Cop could buy & carry what his Department changed to (suggested) for off-duty gun w/o running afoul of the law.

 

2.  So a true Collector could purchase several USED hand guns from an Estate w/o having to go through a FFL or WAITING 30 days for each and every gun in a vast collection.

 

3.  So a Competitive Shooter could purchase equipment as needed for repair/replacement/back-up or advancement in the Sport. 

 

I really don't see why folks are just so stupid when it comes to OGAM or any other NJ Gun Law.  And I crack-up when folks who aren't dry behind the ears yet keep answering questions as "Experts".  Sometimes I think there ought to be a QUIZ or TEST to take before some here starting giving-out wrong info..........

- HPs are illegal

- 10 is the max mag capacity

- You need a FPID to own firearms

- All guns are registered

- Switchblades and slingshots are illegal

- You can only take your gun to the range or gun shop

- NJDL must match FPID

- Ammo can't be shipped to residence

- You can't buy a BB pistol in another state

- Storage of your guns must be at your own house

- You must retreat within your home if confronted

That list looks like some of the new laws the new govenor will pass in 2017.
