10rds for a detachable rifle mag. pump shotguns are unlimited for # of rounds and accessories.
|
15rd mag is the limit on handguns
|
10 rounds is the limit for rifle magazines. 15 for handguns. and all gun laws are dumb, because criminals don't register their guns, nor do they buy them legally. the most outrageous firearm law has got to be the bayonet lug deal. If I want to cut someone up from a distance i will get a sword, but who the hell puts a bayonet on a rifle to run around slashing people?

And shotgun is unlimited on a pump action only. EDIT* The conflicting round #s and mag sizes in here are identical to what the authorities go through, NJ has such insane rules and regs it is hard to know what is the ACTUAL law. Just like our second amendment rights...yet we have to apply for the right to purchase firearms, and apply for a right to buy a pistol every time we want to buy one. |
And isn't hollow point ammo illegal in NJ too?

You DEFINATELY cannot own a fully auto AR-15 in NJ, as AR-15s are 100% illegal, they are listed by name on the list of assault weapons banned by the state. Semi-auto AR-15 style weapons are ok though. |
The real question is, other than burning through ammo like its your job... why the need for full auto...?
Its mostly useless if hitting targets is your goal... |

Bayo lugs are not applicable on bolt guns, it has to be a semi-auto before the illegal feature list starts coming into play. I have a bayo lug on my PSL-54c and that's one of 2 "evil" features it can have, the other is a detachable mag. I get a pass on pistol grip because it has a full cutout stock so it is not considered a pistol grip but a skeleton stock, though i still get strange looks and crap from time to time. The only shotguns that can be considered assault weapons are, again, semi auto. Bolt, pump, lever, breakaway, etc. do not count and anything you want can be done to them provided magazine capacity does not exceed 15 rounds. To answer the other posters question, no, owning hollow-point ammo is not, in and of itself, illegal. However, if you are convicted of a crime, any crime, and any subsequent search of your person or property turns up hollow-point ammunition you will have an additional charge filed against you "felony possesion of hollow-points". There was an individual one time that held up a bank, didn't use guns to do it, no guns there whatsoever. Following his arrest, police searched his home and turned up 1 gun and 5 hollow-points, he was charged with felony possession of hollow-points. To the OP, your question was pretty much answered but here you go: To buy a handgun you must go to local PD, ask for permit to purchase pistol/revolver. Fill it out (almost same as FID), return it and wait. Whenever I hand in it takes me a week to get mine back but you can wait anywhere up to a month. It doesn't have to go through FBI and NJSP like your FID card does, it only has to go to the chief of your local PD for approval. You will need one for each pistol you plan to buy, and they are only good for 90 days. If 90 days go by and you don't purchase the permit is void. Most shops will allow you to purchase in anticipation of your purchasers permit to come through and will remove from the case and save in the back for you. When your permit goes through, come in they fill out permit, you go through NICS, they give you pistol you go home. http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf...itle13ch54.pdf N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.4 should be of specific interest for you, it is the part of the law that refers to permits to purchase. |
a magazine is not a clip. stop watching gangster movies

Forget NJ and the permit laws, I will just have my grandfather buy all my firearms for me once I move back to NJ.... |
That was one thing I have been trying to find out as well, whether or not I could use my leftover 30 round mags AS LONG AS I alter the internals to make them hold only 10 rounds.
And yes it is OPTIONAL to register firearms in NJ. I am not sure if it has/is/or will be changed to be mandatory or not, as I have heard that was the case. |

and your second statement, yes AND no. Long arms do not need to be registered as you do not need to record every shotgun/rifle you buy, so you can buy them out of state and don't have to report them to anyone, HOWEVER all purchased handguns must be registered as you must have a permit to purchase a handgun for each one you buy. If you buy out of state that dealer/person has to ship it to a FFL dealer in NJ to do the transfer paperwork for you, you cannot legally buy a handgun outside of NJ and bring it back. The only time a handgun does not have to be registered in the state of NJ is when you are left it. Say a relative dies and they leave you their handguns, you don't need to get permits for them and you don't need to register them if you don't want to. Provided you can legally own a firearm if subjected to the same checks you would be if your were filing for a FID card and a Permit to Purchase you can keep them. If you would fail the checks and would not be eligible for them if going for them you could legally keep the firearms for a period of 90 or 180 days (can't remember which) to prepare to sell them. Oh, and there are a few guns where "clip" and "magazine" are the same. M1 Garand comes to mind. Typically the "clip" is the thing designed to hold the rounds and feed them into the device that holds them in the firearm and feeds them to fire. The "magazine" is the thing designed to hold the ammo inside the gun and to feed them into the chamber. If you want to get SUPER technical it almost can be considered proper to call a "mag" a "clip" provided it is not in the gun and is just holding the rounds though that would be a pretty big stretch. |

All of the above info is explained in the NJ firearms statute I posted earlier in the thread also.

It may not be illegal but I have yet to see one single transaction that has occurred that way. |

Federal law, cannot buy handgun outside of your own state:
from the NRA page "A citizen's guide to federal firearms laws", this is just a summary not word for word: Provided that federal law and the laws of both the dealer`s and purchaser`s states and localities are complied with: * An individual 21 years of age or older may acquire a handgun from a dealer federally licensed to sell firearms in the individual`s state of residence |
