Yes you can, but they will have to send it to a NJ FFL for you to take possession with a p2p and NICS check.

That's federal law, you can only take possession of a handgun from a private sale, or from an FFL in your state of residence.

What about a private sale in Fla.

Only if you were a fla resident. Again federal law on that one.

You can if you have a Florida ID. I've done it a few times when I've been in Florida. You fill out the necessary paperwork, they do a nics check and your out the door with your weapon.

Yeah if you have a Florida ID that makes you a Florida resident. A non resident ccw permit isn't going to cut it. You need a Florida driver's license.

Steve, unless they've changed the rules since I last purchased a weapon in Florida, you can without a Florida DL. All you need is the ID card.

I never tried personally, I'll ask my father in law he buys guns there all the time. He may know for sure.

An individual 21 years of age or older may acquire a handgun from a dealer federally licensed to sell firearms in the individual`s state of residence
An individual 18 years of age or older may purchase a rifle or shotgun from a federally licensed dealer in any state

You must be a Florida resident to purchase a handgun in Florida

Just because you can do it doesn't make it legal. You must be a legal resident to purchase an handgun.

Regardless of what type of ID you're using (CCW, DL, etc.), if you take possession of a handgun in a state other than the state you're a resident of, you're violating Federal law. Doesn't matter what state you're in or what state you're from.

The only exception to the Federal statute, is if you have dual residency. This means that if you maintain a home in another state you may purchase a handgun in that state only during the period of time you're actually residing in that state. Mere ownership of property in another state does not qualify one to purchase a handgun as a resident of that state.
