Posted 7 Apr 2016 I already own through a trust several NFA items, including a mg and suppressors. I am strongly considering getting my FFL01 home based. Would I be subject to the NJ gun laws regarding magazine size restrictions, and NFA ownership? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 Apr 2016 You have those NFA items in NJ under a trust without being a FFL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Apr 2016 If your question is as simple as it appears, the answer is YES. Holding a federal license does not pre-empt any state restrictions. Only the state law itself can exempt license holders. If NJ says "You shall not ____ unless you hold a federal license", all is well. If NJ says "You shall not ____." then you will be in the same position as you are now minus $200. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Apr 2016 To the best of my knowledge NJ requires that you have a Retail Firearms license.. If ATF approves your license they notify NJ State Police that you have an FFL One of the reasons that Sarco moved to Pa. was that NJ refused to renew their state retail license. Also be advised that short barrelled rifles, short barrelled shotguns, silencers, and slingshots (Yes, slingshots) are prohibited weapons in NJ. Magazines are limited to 15 rounds. FFL's are OK to have mags over 15 rounds from what I've been told. If you don't live here, DO NOT move here. My current employment situation keeps me here. But I'll escape again one day!

Based on their firearm laws, it's not a state I want to visit.
