    Default Purchasing a C&R handgun in NJ

    A friend of mine is getting his C&R. He was reading the NJ laws and to him, they seem to say that he needs a purchase permit even when he's buying a handgun as a C&R. Anyone familiar with NJ laws enough to give an opinion? Rscalzo?

    I live in NJ. Thought about getting the C&R but decided against it when I found out you still have to apply for a pistol permit even with a C&R.

    It's still worth getting; you get dealer pricing at places like Brownells and MidwayUSA!

    Which still have to go through a dealer.

    They do? 2C:58-3 seems to indicate that as long as the purchaser has a Firearms purchaser identification card, and a the state form gets filled out and signed, private sales are legal. So what am I missing?

    I just had a NH gun/criminal lawyer tell me NOT to even get a C&R license, because it gives up too much control to the BATFE.

    Ok, I'll bite. What control does simply getting a C&R license give ATF? Especially if you don't actually purchase any C&R guns? The fact that they can compel me to trudge down to the local ATF field office with my guns and records once a year if they feel so inclined is an understood cost I pay to get the pricing and availability that it opens up to me.

    BATFE rewrites their regulations such that you no longer have to trudge down to the local ATF field office because they will now just show up at your house for such a purpose, oh and if you aren't home, they'll let themselves in... thereby you lose your 4th amendment right by being a C&R holder.

    I've never seen any oversight in their new rules and regulations... so it it not only can happen, but it is only a matter of time.
