Transferring weapon within family

[MovingtoAmerica]

Personally, I would find a PA FFL that will ship to a NJ FFL. Driving into PRNJ with firearms is a risk.
I have Read on here about people arrested in parkinglots of gun ranges or shops for having the weapon not in a case.
Then theres all that Firearm permit and approval crapola that happens on their end, worse if its a handgun, as they can only buy 1 pistol for each permit.
What a screwed up mess that state is.

Thats what I figured. Thanks man

Good question OP. Similar situation for me albeit no relation to the seller. I have NJ legal firearms that I want to sell to a friend in NJ. Can i just take them straight to the NJ FFL for transfer? or do they have to be shipped via PA FFL to the NJ FFL? Thanks to whoever answers

On the state police website http://www.njsp.org/firearms/transport-firearm.shtml it tells how to transport a firearm into NJ. It doesn't state under what conditions this action can take place.

I believe your friend would need to have a FOID or FID card before a NJ FFL does the transfer.

IANAL.

OK, so just a thought to add on to the OP's post.

Father/mother sell house in another state and resides at your residence in Pa for 4 months. During those four months the father/mother gift family firearms/handguns to you here in Pa. . A few weeks later Father/mother close on new house in another state.
Is FFL transfer required at all?

If they never change their driver licences I would say it could be a problem. I believe the text says resident. I know there have been people hemmed up for less. I do not agree that it would be just but when it comes to guns judges and prosecutors are very douchey.

They would have to change/declare their residency to PA before they could do the parent/child no paperwork transfer. Just because they are living with someone (even their child) in a different state does not make them legal residents of that state.
