r/NJGuns

ready to go whenever!

Before anyone suggests that I email the NJSP, I did. They're response was to just send me the legal definition of a firearm in NJ and it had so much snarky energy to it.

Is there any clear definitive answer on whether this is legal for carry and purchase without permits? The reason I ask is that the definition of a firearm:

"Firearm" means any handgun, rifle, shotgun, machine gun, automatic or semi-automatic rifle, or any gun, device or instrument in the nature of a weapon from which may be fired or ejected any solid projectable ball, slug, pellet, missile or bullet, or any gas, vapor or other noxious thing, by means of a cartridge or shell or by the action of an explosive or the igniting of flammable or explosive substances. It shall also include, without limitation, any firearm which is in the nature of an air gun, spring gun or pistol or other weapon of a similar nature in which the propelling force is a spring, elastic band, carbon dioxide, compressed or other gas or vapor, air or compressed air, or is ignited by compressed air, and ejecting a bullet or missile smaller than three-eighths of an inch in diameter, with sufficient force to injure a person.

The bolded sections to me say that if it uses pyrotechnics it covers "igniting of flammable or explosive substance" and pepper gel is a "noxious thing." So would that make this a gun so far as NJ is concerned?

Looking to take advantage of some of the Independence Day sales and have a firearm shipped to an FFL. I sent out a few emails earlier in the week seeing if an FFL will accept the transfer and I thought I'd get a response back by now haven't. If I were to order and have an item shipped to an FFL without receiving confirmation that they will accept it, how likely is it that the item will get returned? Looking to place the order today or tomorrow while the sales are still active. Any north jersey FFL recommendations are welcome.

So let’s just say for the sake of example, I registered a gun as an AOW that had a folding vertical foregrip and I primarily used it in the folded in position where it was not being used as a vfg could New Jersey then choose to reclassify that as a pistol and argue since I’m not using the vfg it’s actually designed to be shot with one hand or would it just fall into the case like braces where you’re just misusing something that was designed another way?

Moved within nj and want to update my fid to the new address. Not sure what’s involved in doing that. I updated my drivers license to the new address but haven’t requested a new one be sent yet because I want to upgrade to REAL ID and I figured I’d get two birds stoned at once and do both at the same time in person. Current DL has old address. Is that going to be a problem ?

Hey I'm in Bergen County (Paramus), I submitted my app 4/15, prints done by 4/27, wasn't aware of the mental health records form I had to complete because I lived in a difference state (NY) in the last 10 years so my PD called me to sign the paperwork 6/10 and haven't heard anything since. Anybody know how long NY takes to send back my records to my PD? Been almost 3 months since I applied now.

I’ve been to Long Shot and enjoyed it. I hear others like
Gun For Hire. What about RTSP? Any smaller less expensive/less fancy that anyone recommends?

Prefer one I can stand in the lane with my friend to give basic safety, grip instruction etc.

(I’m not a certified instructor but have been safely shooting handguns for decades). Thx any suggestions.

Been wanting either an upper/ lower or a pistol or something cool. Anything good out there right now ?

I was considering building an AR and was going to order a BCM upper but i don’t see an option for them to install a muzzle break like i hear they used to…. Is there something I’m missing or did they stop offering that option?

This was going to be a 14.5” barrel length.

Could i go to a 16” barrel and not have to pin/weld the muzzle break if i have to purchase it separately?

I'm looking for a precision rifle, I heard bolt action is better than semiautomatic but if I have to go with semi automatic I don't mind. I am looking for something that would be great for distance shooting and that isn't crazy expensive. I wouldn't mind a .22lr or .22WMR. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Hey folks I’m helping my cousin with getting his FID and permit to purchase card for Garfield, however he’s wondering if anybody knows the turnaround time for both? He forgot to call the PD today and they most likely will not be open tomorrow. Thanks folks

Y'all think we will hear a decision this year considering with what's going on with the SCOTUS AWB case? I sometimes think these politicians and judges are just stalling. Any thoughts?
