Now a lot of you guys know I'm now a NJ expatriate.

 

In SC the going rate for a FFL transfer (well many vendors) is $15.

 

There are loads of FFLs many home bases or very small businesses.

 

NFA transfers are generally $50.

 

So capitalism and competition does keep prices down.

I think the cost is due to the fact that there is no government enforced demand.

 

Yes,  you need a transfer if you're buying a gun from GunBroker or some other out of state source.

 

Other than that, why bother?    You give the seller of the gun some money, he gives you the gun, why would you bother paying a 3rd party?

 

Oh, I know the old argument "what if he's selling me a stolen gun" or some other nonsense.     Show me one case of someone who has been prosecuted for legitimately buying or selling a gun and it turns out to have been a crime or stolen gun.  It doesn't happen.

 

Get a bill of sale and you're good to go.

 

I bought and sold a bunch of guns when I lived in Ohio.  In fact, I traded a gun for a small block 350, sorta.   I wanted the engine.  The guy with the engine wanted the gun and the guy with the gun wanted a computer.   I built the computer and gave it to the guy with the gun who traded it for the engine which he gave to me

Mark - I don't know if I totally agree with your analysis

But as far as the stolen guns goes you're right about the Bill of sale and there are websites to check the serial numbers against

NJ has lost a great one.  My Uncle lives SC, too.  He moved down there years ago and would never come back.  He is into civil war reenactment.

You can take the Frank out of jersey, but not the jersey out of frank.

Probably true !

Not only that but I love NJ.  Diverse geography, the shore, the NW mountains, the Pine Barrens.

I just hate what it has become.
