Hello all, I'm sure this has been asked, but of course, I can't find anything. I'm selling a post-ban Bushmaster XM-15 lower. I live on Long Island. I have a potential buyer from Jersey that want's to come over and do a FTF. Am I allowed to sell a firearm to someone FTF if they're not from NY? I plan on making the person sign a "receipt" confirming that they have taken ownership of the firearm and that I am no longer the owner and claiming that they are legally allowed to own a firearm and blah blah... So is this legal? Thanks in advance for all of your continued help!! |
Bushman is correct. The firearm needs to go through a NJ FFL's bound book. Now that doesn't preclude you from personally delivering it to a NJ FFL (letting him also make a copy of your NYS drivers license.) Why not kill multiple birds on one trip? Bring the lower to the Blast on February 9th, and arrange to meet the buyer there so that PK90 can do the book transfer and NICS check. Everyone wins!

Actually... A NJ buyer can purchase a non-NJ-legal long arm from an FFL in another state, as long as he passes a NICS and completes both a 4473 and a Certificate of Eligibility (with the information on his address-matching NJ FID card) He just can't legally bring it back into the PRNJ 
|
Could you please explain why. |
NJ can't enforce their laws in another state. Plenty of NJ residents own NJ banned firearms. They just keep them out-of-state. |
