vladtepes 1,060 Posted February 22, 2015 You can't but the trust can. how? NJ does not allow an exception for an NFA trust to own such a thing... it says "this item is illegal".. that does not by default mean that it is illegal for a person to have.. but legal for a trust or a business to have? you can certainly create a trust in NJ.. but that does not supersede firearms law as far as I am aware..

vladtepes 1,060 Posted February 22, 2015 c. Silencers. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any firearm silencer is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. so even if you hypothetically got one under a trust.. YOU... or ANY other person within the state of NJ could never be in possession of it.. and that does not even address the fact that I dont know any dealer that would be willing to do the transfer..

Kaiser7 33 Posted February 23, 2015 IINAL, but the other day, for whatever reason, I was looking up SBR and SBS laws for NJ. Both are illegal, however, If I read correctly, apparently machine guns ARE legal. Someone should confirm that, or if there aren't some restrictions where you can have it, but only if you're a cop, or something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,569 Posted February 23, 2015 Yes. Machineguns are legal to possess in NJ. You just need to get a permit. Just like the NJ carry permit that everyone has. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted February 23, 2015 I am not aware of any law that says NFA is illegal in Jersey. I know that some of the items are addressed under NJ law, and some are not. It seems many types of AOW would be legal. With a trust you would not need LEO signoff (for the next few months at least). I saw another thread that claimed you can't find an SOT to make you one or transfer you one. I bet you could. Regardless, you could probably file a Form 1 with the ATF make one yourself. I know, I know, "You can't make your own gun in NJ!" Well, can you change your shotgun barrel from 26 inches to 22 inches? Of course. So... If you legally own a firearm in NJ, and change it to a configuration that is not regulated under NJ law but is under the NFA, and you comply with the NFA, then I have to assume that would be fine. I'm just not sure which AOW configurations are not covered under NJ law. And, I'm not going to look into it and certainly not the guy to ask. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeGuns 14 Posted February 23, 2015 As far as NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit is concerned a Gun Trust will not be recognized. As per Lieutenant Genova and Detective Sergeant Bloom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeGuns 14 Posted February 23, 2015 You can own any Class III that is in the closed registry. It just entails an NFA transfer and $$$$. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeGuns 14 Posted February 23, 2015 $$$$ because the closed registry owners know their "registered" items are severely limited in supply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody is asking him or cares what he thinks. If I have a New Jersey legal firearm then I am not even going to mention my gun trust to him. Because it's none of his business.

Oakridgefirearms 224 Posted February 23, 2015 You could even get an old Vickers! You need to have a NJ carry license before you are able to get a NJ MG license. You will need a Superior Court judge to sign off on your MG license and IIRC the sign off of the CLEO of each town you will be traveling through with your MG. So, technically there is a statutory process that you can go through to get a NJ MG license, but in reality it's never going to happen........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
