he cant transport it anywhere

 

For long guns it is perfectly legal. Handguns the receiptant will need both an FID card and a handgun permit. The info must be transferred over. However, remember if the long gun is ever used in a crime and the police trace the serial number IT WILL COME BACK TO YOU.

 

I'm giving a shotgun to my wife for X-Mas. If she uses it in a crime it'll be to shoot me so at that point I don't care!![rofl][rofl][rofl]

 

The info must be transferred over.

Can you please clarify... what info must be transfered and to where? Thanks.

For a handgun they receiptant needs to have a Handgun permit issued by the local PD. Upon the transaction the permit must also have the information such as name, address, occupation (I think), make, model, serial #, etc on the permit. Then one copy goes to the recieptant, another copy to the seller, and one to the State Police.
However, for long guns (Shotguns, rifles, muzzleloader) that type of registration is not required, but voluntary. All form can be picked up at your local PD.

My brother moved hear from FL he drove up with two long guns, Is he illegal when he goes hunting or to the range?

 

Is he illegal when he goes hunting or to the range?

If he purchased a valid NJ hunting liscence, he is good to go.

The "range transport" is sketchy - technically the NJFID card I have mentions nothing about transportation.

PM Bloodtrails - he is better versed in this stuff than me.

 

Thanks. I would never even consider giving a handgun as a gift, but I have always wanted to give my son/daughter (if I ever have any in the future) my first shotgun after they obtain their NJ hunting liscense. I would also hope that they could p [no swearing please] it on to one of their children later down the road.

I was incorrect. Here is the information straight from NJ Criminal Code 2C:58-3 Purchase of Firearms.

b.Firearms purchaser identification card. No person shall sell, give, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of nor receive, purchase or otherwise acquire an antique cannon or a rifle or shotgun, other than an antique rifle or shotgun, unless the purchaser, assignee, donee, receiver or holder is licensed as a dealer under this chapter or possesses a valid firearms purchaser identification card, and first exhibits said card to the seller, donor, transferor or assignor, and unless the purchaser, assignee, donee, receiver or holder signs a written certification, on a form prescribed by the superintendent, which shall indicate that he presently complies with the requirements of subsection c. of this section and shall contain his name, address and firearms purchaser identification card number or dealer's registration number. The said certification shall be retained by the seller, as provided in section 2C:58-2a., or, in the case of a person who is not a dealer, it may be filed with the chief of police of the municipality in which he resides or with the superintendent.

This is what I have found about transporting.

g.All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b., subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances.

 

Isn't it about time we stopped voting for people who would subject us to such idiotic gun laws.

No wonder you're out of work...[hihi]

 

I gave my son a shotgun for his 10th & again his 12th birthday. However he never had it without being under my supervision until now. He now has one of the guns where he lives in IL. He has an IL FOID card which is similar to a NJ FID. I sent it to him UPS about two years ago.

You must have a different card that me. Mine says "Purchase and carry rifles & shotguns".

I never lock my guns in the trunk because I have a pick up. If I am going to stop for coffee or something the guns are in an unlocked case in the cab other times the guns are in the bed. My hand gun is in a locked case when I transport it.

 

Mine says "Purchase and carry rifles & shotguns".

I got this in September and it reads "hereby granted permission to purchase rifles and shotguns pursuant to provisions of N.J.S 2C:58-3 with amendments and supplements."

230, maybe you should update your card.

 

If you purchase the weapon you need a FID and the gun is recorded in YOUR NAME If you are going to transfer that gun to some else you must first keep a record of who you gave or sold it to and I do beleive the person you transfer it to must have a fire arms I D card. I do no that this pertains to somebody who purchases one of your guns.

That's interesting that they finally changed it.

I wouldn't know, I burned mine.

Nope. As long as he is transporting the firearms correctly he is perfectly legal.

As for giving away a shotgun it is totaly cool to do if your giving it to an antigun Senator as a gift uring an election year and you are a Union offical in a Red state. Otherwise it's a no no. Just ask Sara Brady about when she bought her nephew a "Simple Deer rifle" as a Christmas gift.

 

I think I'm gonna return the shotgun I got my wife for Xmas

Wvinter, you better not get her a vacuum cleaner instead. She may strangle you with the cord. [rofl]

So what is the final verdict? Legally OK to give a shotgun/rifle as a gift to someone with a NJ hunting liscense but not a FID card or not legally OK?

 

It is the responsibility of the seller of the firearm to ascertain that the buyer has a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card plus one additional form of identification and a completed Certificate of Eligibility. A Certificate of Eligibility can be obtained at any licensed firearms dealer.

So in other words, if you are giving a firearm as a gift the person who you are giving it to must be qualified to own that firearm. In NJ that means having a NJ FID card. You must then transfer ownership to that person using the Certificate of Eligibility mentioned above.

 

the forms are on the NJSP website

 

So....does this mean that in order for me to buy a shotgun for my daughter, she has to also get a FID? Do they give FID cards to 10 year olds?
