I’m looking for an FFL in Atlantic County that can take an AR-15 upper and make it NJ compliant.

I’m interested in buying a complete upper by PSA. It has a 16” barrel and I plan on putting a surefire muzzle brake on it. Anyone have any experience with buying complete uppers from PSA? How was the experience and quality?

Picked up the echelon 4.0c. Great size and looking forward to getting a holster done for it. Debating if im gonna pick up a red dot, but hopefully i get a little rangetime in the morning before this snow rolls in.

Really hard to tell based on who will ship or not ship.

Applied 12/2/24 Approves 1/18/25

Where do I go online to register my handgun?

Lovely, just lovely.

This is a travesty. Imagine all the divorces as purchases can no longer be slipped past a spouse.

I am in Delaware and purchase a long gun/shotgun, doesn’t need to be FFL’ed if I a NJ resident? Do I need any kind of license or waiting period. Or can I just go to a gun shop and get a shotgun and drive it home. Trying to understand the cross state portion of it. Or can I just go to Walmart and buy a shotgun and drive home.

Would AR Pistols need to have there own pistol permit or do they still fall under the rifle category? I know this is kind of a dumb question but I am new to all of this.

Recently moved to Burlington county and I see there's not many places close to go shooting.

Is anyone here a member of Alpha gun club, Telco sportmans club, or South Jersey shooting club?

Alpha and Telco are about 25 30 min from me and South Jersey is about 45 min from me.

I see Telco doesn't allow guests which is understandable but unfortunate as I would like to bring a friend every once in awhile but if someone here has good things to say about it I might just suck it up and shoot alone.

South Jersey seems the most promising

Any information from y'all greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Submitted my permit to carry (PTC) application one week ago and realized that one reference's email was spelled incorrectly. Since I'm an out-of-state resident, the application was randomly assigned to the Hamilton state police barracks. I've called multiple times, but the firearms investigator never seems to be there. I also sent an email to the njsphamiltonfirearms@njsp.gov address (and a follow up) to no avail.

Anyone else been through this issue and have any advice? I saw in other posts that people had the same issue but since they were NJ residents, their PTC applications went to local police rather than state police substations and it was easier to deal with them. I'd obviously prefer not to eat the $218 fee and have to reapply over a clerical error this small.

Awaiting my approval for a PTC. I saw these bags from 945 industries and a liked the idea of them a lot.

Example here https://www.945industries.com/bags/p/qapx-bag-g72tx-nnhje-8fr43-zh5mw-d6g25-p7fpf-sgw64-rybcc

Of course the firearm is in a holster with the proper fitment and trigger guard and assuming you don't take it off of you, is this type of holster/bag combo legal?

Waiting on my second one. Do you still get the email like I did for my FID and 1st permit or is it done another way? Thanks for putting up with a noob.

I’ve been going back and forth looking online at different compact handgun options and I think I’ve decided on a 509c based on options I’m looking for but have never seen or shot one in person before. Anyone on here ever have hands on experience with one or know of any shops in the central Jersey (ocean county) area that stock them for me to go see if I wanna purchase or not. Would not be my first handgun either

NICS came back so fast that I couldn’t take home the mags since my MagBlocks didn’t come in yet. After the 10rd magazine’s, NJ’s 30 day pistol rule has to be the worst

Any class 3 sot ffls in south jersey? Looking for a aow to be transfered

Not even out yet, but these look neat. Will the upcoming FDP and/or FDC be NJ legal?

Just like the title, friend of mine is filling out the application and doesn’t know what to put. And if yes, is that going to be a problem for her getting her ID?

If I order a handgun that doesn’t have 10rd mags will those mags just not ship with it at all and I will get a gun with no mags? Or will I have to pay for them to be pinned? Tried buying a CZ P10c optics ready 10rd off palmetto armory but they ran out, looking for other websites that have them.

Im a rust nerd at heart😎

I am a couple months out till expiration date. Do I need to present 4-references for the renewal application? Also, is the background section intensive. What will they be asking for the background section? I want to be prepared prior to starting the online application process and the NJ gov website does not provide specific details pertaining to each section. If anyone has been through this and is willing to share the details of their experience of requirements in the renewal application, it will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, ahead!

Wondering if they will deny me for a gun permit if I failed a psych test 6 years ago when I was 19 going for a job in law enforcement. I live in NJ but looking to move to SC. I'd imagine those states are different.

Just got my Bodyguard 2.0 from S&W, Dope little carry gun, my question is Pocket Carry… Legal?? obviously I want to have it holstered in some manner. I just do not know the logistics of if it’s legal or what requirements are. Before anyone goes crazy no I do not plan on carrying a loaded firearm arm in my pocket w out a holster.

Also Holster Recommendations…

TIA

So I submitted the online application and submitted my (4) references. One of the email addresses was incorrect/ wrong . I don’t see where I can go back online and correct/ update the email address. So now my reference will not receive their respective email associated with my online profile application. Does anyone have the NJSP firearms dept email address of Port Norris station ??? What can I do

Also

Alright yall, I've been shooting IDPA a bit recently and it really makes me want to go to PA for some USPSA. My last idpa match was something like 45 rounds shot in a three hour match with four stages. I'd really like to have some more shooting in my practical shooting and let's be honest, a lot of the changes from USPSA to IDPA are a bit silly. I just wanna shoot some actual uspsa but this mag ban man... competing with half the mag capacity is no fun.

I know the usual response is to keep some standard mags in PA or just bring more mags. But what if I just removed and re-applied the permanent mag block? Silly considering the permanent part, but what if...

Bring a drill, drill bits, vice, and a rivet gun to a free(er) state, drill out the rivets before the match, and re-rivet before you drive home. Epoxy could be a way too, dissolve the epoxy at the match, re-apply before you go home. 10/20, 10/22, or whatever mags might even have the 10 rd marker to avoid any headaches with police.

Thoughts? It might destroy the mags pretty fast with drilling or solvents. It's been a decade since I touched a rivet gun or drilled a rivet, it might not work at all. I've read of some Canadians doing it for matches but haven't seen any talk on here about it.

How many people are gonna hate on the idpa comments? lol
