A couple of NJ gun law questions.
1) Can you borrow some one else's handgun to take to the range to shoot with the owner not there? And, the "borrower" is not prohibited from having their own guns, and has a FID card. 2) What are the rules for a person to person handgun sale with the seller from PA and the buyer from NJ. How about the other way around, buyer PA seller NJ? I'm sure PK 90 knows but maybe others are wondering. Thanks |

Quoted:
1- Technically this is an illegal transfer as they have pocession of the firearm. Correct. 2C:58-3.1 spells out the legalities of temporary transfers, but to summarize for the OP, it's only legal if done on a firing range or hunting area, with the lgal owner present and observing the other person at all times. "Hey, go ahead and try out my handgun while we're here on the range" - perfectly legal. "Hey, take my pistol and go to the range to try it out" - not legal. |

On the sale of the handgun from PA owner to NJ buyer, can the PA guy bring the gun to the buyer's FFL and the FFL does the transfer, GTG?
Yes. In fact, this is the only way it can be done... the FFL-to-buyer transfer MUST occur in the buyer's state of residence. If the seller brought the handgun to an FFL in his state, that FFL would need to transfer the handgun to an FFL in the buyer's state, where said FFL could then transfer it to the buyer. |
