Selling to person in NJ

[JDC]

Can someone from pa sell a long gun( hunting rifle, shotgun) to a person living in NJ legally?

[762xIan]

IF you mean face to face, I am not sure, I would err on the side of caution and go through an FFL for the transfer. The buyer must have a NJ FOID card though. The other issue is NJ's Assault weapon ban....whole slew of stuff banned in NJ.

That being said, when I was a NJ subject I had no problem buying long guns in PA and Delaware at shops and gunshows with my NJ Firearms ID (FOID).

I mean out of the trunk in pa to a nj resident ?

Selling just a 12 gauge hunting shotgun

state to state = federal jurisdiction = federal law = I have no idea

I've seen lambo on the this site mention he does FTF with PA residents and he lives in Maryland. I have no idea what the federal laws on it are. If you look on Arfcom people constantly sell FTF between adjoining states, for what its worth.

I do know you can buy from an adjoining state when using a FFL, and involving long guns, not sure about handguns.

Everyone needs to read the ATF FAQs.... theres no reason y'all shouldn't know this, its been discussed bunches of times.

when selling across state lines, both rifles and handguns MUST involve a FFL.

PERIOD.

there is NO legal face to face across state lines unde federal law, regardless of what your STATE law may say.

PERIOD.

anyone who purchases/sells a handgun or longarm to/from a resident of another state FTF is committing a felony.

see the FAQs.

I'm going to the Jersey Shore in a few weeks for vacation. You mean to tell me that I can't take my handgun with me? JUST KIDDING!!!!! I don't know why we even vacation in the People's Republic of New Jersey. Oh wait...friends with a beach house we use for free...that's it!
