Haha, I have enough on my plate at the moment without an independent study project. Besides, on a matter like this and with these potential consequences I would rather be sure about the answer than testing out my sub-par ability to interpret statutes. Thanks for the responses though everyone, I appreciate the info. I really wish there was a way around the residency thing, but from what everyone has said and from what I have researched, there is not. I guess I can always become an NY resident relatively easily then apply for a permit here. I suppose this option makes the most sense since I will probably be in NY for at least 9 months each year oppose to only 3 in NJ. Now, in this situation (as a resident of NY), would there be any way to bring the handguns home to NJ when I went or does NJ require residency as well?
