I grew up in jersey, moved to maine, baught a gun here, now Im moving back this week. Any advice on what to do with my XDm 9?

The only problem is a magazine with a capacity over 15 rounds.

 

I would suggest applying for a NJ FID card as soon as you get settled in your new residence. Forms and information are available on line. Be aware that some towns do not accept the online forms and use only the state supplied four part forms as they are easier to fill out.

You will need one to purchase ammo (if and when you can find any) Swing by the KTP on the way down and stock up.

 

On the way down, transport the handgun secured in a case unloaded. Ammo should be separated. Out of reach is the key idea here.

I will call the Superintendence of the NJ State Police. You get caught with a firearm in the state that is not register you may be in trouble.

Are you sure about that? When I moved back to NJ in '95 with a handgun I bought in another state, I was told it is voluntary to register it, by a couple of police officers and the firearm ID officer of the town I lived in.

thanks

You do not need to register a gun in NJ..

When i lived in Weehawken and got my card the officer told me if i had others guns i must register, only pistols & revolvers.

I moved from New York state to NJ, and brought my guns with me. The detective doing the FID paperwork said I did not have to register them since they were purchased legally in another state. The only exception was that I could not bring in a "named weapon".

ProActive is correct. Registration of guns legally purchased in other states is optional. However, while the XDm 9 is not illegal in NJ the 19 round magazine it comes with IS ILLEGAL. Bringing those magazines into the state is illegal.

Welcome to the forum and welcome back to the state.

 

I am sorry you are moving back here. The easiest thing to do with the XDm is to stop by around Dover, NH and drop it off at rscalzo's house. He will take good care of it until you leave the state or someone decides to neuter the xdm magazines to 15rounds. =P

 

If you want to reside in the grey area, a few FFL's here in NJ modify xdm magaziens to the 15rd.

Can I jump into this topic please please ???

 

Registering guns bought "legally" outside the state of NJ is completely voluntary (if you're moving into the state).

 

Of those people who posted that the mag is illegal - they are correct.

 

I actually bought my XDM in NJ from Silver Bullet and even though my mag is riveted to only accept 15 rounds it's still a toss up if it's legal (look at my other thread somewhere in this forum).
