I read on another website where someone was asking about 22lr ammo in nj and another user commented and said you cannot buy 22lr unless you have a handgun permit. Being that I dont have any firearm that fires 22lr, I was curious as to whether or not that is true.

 

thanks

NO  but you do need A FID card as 22LR is considered handgun ammo.   In NJ that is, Once you are in America its on the open shelf for sale in most all places.

You don't need a handgun permit to buy ammo, you only need a permit to purchase a handgun. You do need to show your NJ Firearms Purchaser ID card.

NJ retailers will likely require a NJ FID card.

 

Many online/mail order retailers such as Cabelas do not.

Or just cross over the border leaving New Germany enter any sporting goods or LGS and pick them off a shelf.  Or sometimes since they are a bit scarce just ask because they may be behind the counter due to rationing.

 

Jersey logs all ammo purchases that can be used in a handgun and requires a FID card.

Ok i should rephrase a little. Do you need to be 21 and older to purchase 22 ammo since it can technically be used as handgun ammo?

No.  You need an FID card which you can get at 18 yrs old.  21 yrs old for PTP a handgun.

However, many stores don't know the rules and may have their own mixed up way of doing things - especially the chain sports stores in NJ.

Exactly...17yr old at bass pro asked me for 'paperwork' one day while picking up some 12G ammo

Lately I buy all my ammo online. Most online retailers will want a copy of your FID card. Some will require that the address on the FID card match the shipping address and some (SGAmmo comes to mind), don't ask for anything.

Either a P2P OR FPID can be used. Either is fine.

I'm looking forward to feeling like a real American next month when I visit my in laws in the southern OBX and just walking into Walmart and doing my ammo restocking

Yea, after the AIM fiasco, I will not be using places that want that, unless I know they are not holding an image on their server.

I've never been asked for FID or ID from any of the online retailers I've bought ammo from. I know they are supposed to ask for it for pistol ammo, but I've never been asked to present it.
