| Is it illegal to ship ANY firearm magazine to a private(non FFL) individual in New Jersey? The reason why I'm asking is because a buddy of mine that lives there got a visit from a postal inspector. He ordered 4 ten round mags delivered to his home.(via USPS) The postal inspector came to his home a few days later saying that something that looked like a firearm magazine, showed up in an x ray of the package; addressed to his home. My friend freely admitted that he ordered some mags. The postal inspector went on to "warn" him that since November of last year, it is illegal, in NJ, to have magazines shipped to anyone other than a FFL dealer. A search of the NJ State Police Website, NRA Website and USPS Website listed no such law in existence. Does such a law exist or is the postal inspector full of shit? |

Quoted:
That's what I thought. However, why would a postal inspector even make a visit for something that isn't illegal? My cynical mind tells me that it was an opportunity for a potentially dirty usps employee to case your buddy's place. Where there are magazines, there are firearms.

Something just doesn't seem right about this.
Why would the Postal Inspector actually go to this guy's home? Why not just call? If he was that concerned that your friend was breaking the law why not involve LE? Just doesn't make sense to me. Can you reveal the town? |
