I'm planning to go to Oaks 3/26 and possibly shopping for a pistol, new or used don't know yet. Has anyone had any experience with PA dealers NOT wanting to ship to NJ ffl those guns sold at gun shows? I just don't want to get my hopes up just to find out that they don't want to ship.

  Only way to know is to tell them upfront it needs to be transferred and give it a try.

Bring cash, copies of your dealer FFL, packing material, and a prepaid shipping label.

 

Offer the dealer cash and to box up the shipment for them so all they have to do is drop it in the mail.

If there is a NJ FFL there, they can transfer to them, and get you your gun... just would be the same as going to a NJ dealer.

 

I've seen a few guys advertise that in the past few shows. Easy to talk to most dealers there... they want a sale.

That sounds like the best deal to me.

I didn't know that, thanks. I will definetely be looking for them.

Illegal. Disposition must be made from an FFL's premise location or qualifying gun show within their state.

Haven't you heard all the screaming from the dems about the gun show loophole? You should be able to get whatever you want without worrying about anything!

 

Yes, sarcasm mode off.

I think it is legal if the FFL transports the firearm back to his shop and the purchaser picks it up there after doing the usual Jersey stuff. permit, NJ state background check etc.

 

That is just my opinion and I am not a lawyer but you have now given me a question to ask an attorney.

Then how do you get FFLs from Ohio selling at Oaks?

 

You can call it illegal if you want, but I've seen multiple FFLs offering that service. Talk to them, not me. I personally don't go for a permit unless I have a gun picked up or held, waiting for shipment.

They still need to book it out to the receiving FFL.

Those dealers that do that are taking a chance, and they know it. I am letting NJGF Members know. That is why I posted it.

Yes, that would be legal, but why?

Save the $5 on shipping is the only thing I can think of? I would rather have it shipped to the FFL at the hardware store in my town, and save the time and fuel driving to some other FFL. The shipping costs would be worth it to me.

Just an extra unnecessary step. Just have them ship it to your FFL.

Sorry to hijack. But what about buying a shotgun? Can I just buy it with my FID card and bring it home?

Yes. Any long gun, as long as it's NJ legal. You buy it on the spot and take it home

I was looking at a 9mm 1911 at a table, asked what the process would be since I'm from NJ, vendor flat out said he doesn't transfer to NJ. It all depends on the vendor I guess. I had my permit with me, didn't matter for that vendor. Walked up to another table and the clerk guessed I was from NJ and said he could sell me a rifle but not a handgun. I went to the show looking to get a feel for a couple guns I'm thinking of buying. Sig P229 Legion felt awesome, like it was made for my hand.

I decided not to take a chance and ordered my gun locally. The funny thing is that I got it new for $14 more than a used one was selling for at the show.

Why does that not surprise me.  Good luck when you get it.
