is an FID needed in an out-of-state purchase?
Basically i live in NJ, and a FID is needed to purchase firearms. However, an FID is not needed to own a rifle if you keep it within the premise of your own home. FID is also not needed to transport a rifle or use it at a shooting range.
the NRA-ILA of the NJ laws are below, with the pertinent details in bold. Quote:
The reason I need to do this is because it is taking FOREVER for my FID to come in and I want to jump on the boat before a ban takes effect. |

This is what the BATF has to say about it (emphasis is mine):
Quote:
The applicable laws of the State of New Jersey requires you to possess a FID to buy a firearm, yes? Here's the applicable section of U.S. Code (18 USC 922 (b)(3)(emphasis again mine): Quote:

If you're referring to a Firearms Purchaser ID card, then that may be the least of your worries.
If you're buying a rifle, especially in/from another state, you'll need to be sure it is NJ compliant. I bring this up because I've been doing my own search for an AR-15 style rifle, and I happen to live in NJ. NJ compliance rules are very strict, whereas PA is wide open -- hence you are likely to find many rifles/shotguns and/or variations of those rifles/shotguns that meet PA rules but would fail NJ compliance. Be very careful with that. Unless you are buying the most basic rifle, do it through a NJ FFL to be sure you aren't setting yourself up for owning something you're not permitted to possess in NJ, FID or not. |
