Handgun question for NJ > New York

Posted: 11/21/2007 7:13:24 AM EDT

Now i consider myself fairly well versed in the very difficult firearm laws of NJ, (Read i know enough to not go to jail) But something has come up i just cant seem to find an answer to. Before i call the NJSP i thought id ask here. My brother wants to buy me a pistol for Xmas, he lives in PA, can i accept the pistol W/O having to get a PP? do i have to get one? Will i have to go through a FFl? Thanks for any information

You will need to have a PP and the transfer will have to take place through an FFL if I remember correctly.

Just to be clear the transfer must take place though a NJ FFL.

I've got good news and bad news for you...

The good news is that there is one way for you to get the pistol without getting a Pistol Purchase Permit or going through a NJ FFL.

The bad news is that your brother has to die and leave it to you in his will. As long as you're not a disqualified person, the pistol is yours without any of the PPP or FFL hassle.

Or if he bought you the pistol, but you left it in PA, with your brother and only used it when you went to PA, and never brought it into NJ, it also might be OK...anyone? Technically he wouldnt be giving it to you, and it would still be in his name.

tell him to cut you a check.

That's definitely the best option. Go buy the gun with a CC and have him give you the money before you get the CC bill.

Fast, legal, no wasted money on transfer and FFL fees.

I gave My brother a pistol when he lived in PA. We consulted with the ATFE, and they said a gift to family is ok, provided the receiver is not a prohibated person. They went onto say that if it were opposite, I would have to go through the FFL dealer in NJ and get a permit. He said NJ has strict laws(DA we in NJ know this), and the state police would hassle us. The main point, was that I already owned the gun, and initally purchased it for me to use, and not to give to my brother.
Being in NJ, just go by the numbers to avoid any future hassle with NJ police.
