My friend is having a hard time getting a FID card here in NJ because of a anti-gun police chief, etc. He is a pretty smart guy a read a lot of the laws. Here is what he came up with. A N.J. resident, Mr. Doe, intentionally travels to a P.A. or F.L. gun show with the intention of buying a firearm. At said show Mr. Doe buys a firearm from a FFL holder and processes a 4473. (NICS) Then under interstate commerce laws, transports the weapon back to N.J.
At this time (although probably not required) just to cover his but and break the chief's stones, he files a S.P. 650 (Rev. 01/08) "VOLUNTARY FORM OF FIREARMS REGISTRATION". Under section 2 "Lawfully acquired in another state pursuant to state and federal laws; or".
This type of action assumes that Mr. Doe does NOT meet any of the governing laws which would preclude him from legal gun ownership in NJ and the firearm meets NJ laws as well with regard to all applicable facts.
I have reviewed the laws as well, and I can't see how this would be illegal. The question I have is transport. Do you need an FID card to transport? I don't think so. I have not read that anywhere. Of course you must transport properly, but that seems to be about it.
Interesting topic. Please try to quote the law when responding so we are all on the same page.
Thanks,
