As long as it's legal in NJ and you could otherwise legally posses it, you are good.

 

If I inherit a firearm what must I do?

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3j, a firearm purchaser identification card and/or a handgun purchase permit shall not be required for the passing of a firearm upon the death of an owner thereof to his/her heir or legatee, whether the same by testamentary bequest or by the laws of intestacy. The firearm must be legal to possess in New Jersey and the person receiving the firearm shall not be prohibited by N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3c before receiving the firearm. If the heir or legatee does not qualify to acquire and possess the firearm, then ownership may be retained for a period not to exceed 180 days provided the firearm is transferred to the chief law enforcement officer of the municipality or the superintendent during such period.

Also, don't register them.  

Are you the inherited? Are you a prohibited person?

yes, no gtg

All good answers so far. 

Federal also allows you to take possession of the firearms, both long guns and handguns, in another state and bring them to your state of residence.

Thanks guys! Great info....much appreciated...

No dealers. No registration involved, unless you live in a state requiring it and NJ isn't one of them.

You pick your guns up from the executor and go home with them.

Thanks again!

I read executor as executioner.  I laughed.
