What's the process of buying a gun on an online forum? 

If its a pistol im assuming you'll need at the least a permit?

What if its a shotgun?

I bought a pistol from a gentleman on this site. 
 

We met at an agreeable FFL, I handed him cash, the FFL did the transfer, he handed me the pistol. Simple. 

Shotgun/long gun would be the same way. 
 

 

In spite of what leftist imbeciles think about "gun show loopholes" and face to face sales, the paperwork is all the same.

But i do need a free "permit" correct? I was thinking about applying for more to kinda build the collection. I see this becoming a hobby for me.

You need a permit for the handgun, as normal. You need your firearms purchase card and it must go through an ffl now for the shotgun, or rifle. The handgun must also go through the ffl. Why we need these p2p’s and fpid cards now they changed the law is even more of an undue burden 

Yes. Pistol you need a permit to purchase (which takes inordinately long to have processed, is currently not free, and Gov Murphy would like to make radically more expensive.) You get the permit through your local PD. 

I was hoping i didn't have to go through that process again. My girlfriend and brother are going to wonder why theyre filling out a survey again so soon haha.

Ive been trying to get out of here for years. My girlfriends a bit reluctant but im slowly wearing her down. Even Buying ammo online has me checking every law. They make me feel like a criminal for wanting to go to the range and protect my family inside my house.

While i have you here, anything wrong with total metal jacket ammo for a walther ppq or a cz 75?

No. But I don’t like steel cased. Full metal jacket and steel cased are completely different things though.

You're leading me down a new rabbit hole here. Why the preference?

Steel cased is harder on the equipment, can’t be reloaded. Etc

also i doubt you will have many issues with walther or cz as far as ammo goes( brass cased of course) but it’s I good idea to try a few rounds of hollow point to make sure they cycle.

fmj - full metal jacket is range ammo

hp- hollow point is what you want in your defense gun.

also I find 124 grain 9mm is a better shooting then 115 in factory ammo.

ask all the questions! Awesome knowledgeable people here! None of them can cook, but they know gun stuff

 Full metal jacket

Steel case ammo

teal/dear

Full metal jacket refers to the construction of the projectile (bullet)

Steel case refers to the construction of the cartridge case

The "hollow points" i have are the hornady critic defense. From my understanding they're not considered true hollow points but ill test these out as well. Thank you.

Trust your gear by proofing it

@Cheflife15

Welcome and listen to anyone for great gun advise.

Just don’t listen to this guy, Betty crockpot for cooking advise. 
 

Construction, love life, guns - Zeke is your man. Cooking=no Zeke

pork roll by the way

I appreciate you guys helping me learn these things faster. I always believed knowledgeable and responsible gun owners can change the minds of the ones who want to ban them all.
