I have been out of NJ for awhile so take what I say with a grain of salt. If I remember correctly you must first obtain your Firearms ID card. Once you have done that you will have to have the guns shipped to a FFL in your area. It isn't required by law that the guns be shipped by an FFL but some FFLs on your end may require it. You could just go and pick them up and drive them back into NJ and you shouldn't have any problems.
You may want to contact you local CLEO and doublecheck. Don't forget no assault rifles in NJ. |

As the guns are still your personal property, no "transfer" is taking place when you mail the guns to yourself from your prior residence in AL.
It's perfectly OK for you to either go pick them up and drive them back with you, or have your mom mail your property to you in NJ. The guns must be legal in NJ, of course - any that aren't will have to stay in AL, as you couldn't legally bring those in with you when you moved. |

While legal under federal law it may not be legal under NJ state or local law. In NJ you are required to have a FID card to purchase BB's and a pistol permit to possess a BB pistol. Check with the NJ State Police or local PD.

It sounds like it would be better to move back anyway... Good luck

I forgot one thing in my first response. I know your post said rifles but I will add that you absolutely must ship pistols to an FFL and you must meet all NJ requirements to do so. Plus if you ship in more then 1 pistol at a time (your property or not) expect a visit from the state police to check why you have so many guns coming in.

Thanks for the info.
I have the FID card, only took 4 months. The rifles are just some that have been in the family .22 Winchester 1906 and a .32 Rimfire Stevens Model 44. No handguns. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say I should move back. I'll stay here for a while make some money and take advantage of the city and the other "cultural" things in the large metro area of DC to Boston. It is always easy to pick up later go back to AL get a big truck,a bass boat and as many guns as I want. Just taking advantage of my surroundings while I can. |
