FFL Handgun Question

[tblant 6]

I have a NJ FID card. I am renting a cabin in VT next Friday. If I go to Vermont and purchase a NJ legal handgun (Glock 26 with NJ legal mag capacity) and request them to send it to RTSP or another FFL, will I need to show RTSP a handgun permit to take possession of the gun?

How would RTSP know that I did not have a home in VT and simply want to relocate the gun? I know I can't drive home from VT with it because I am going through NY.

 

I plan on asking RTSP when I go shooting this upcoming week, but thought I would see what you all thought. I have no clue and automatically assume the worst in this state.

 

Thanks folks.

VT will not allow you to walk out of the store with the gun if you have a NJ DL. An FFL in your home state (in this case NJ) would be responsible for the transfer. Rifles are another story.

Your home state is what matters in this situation. The handgun would have to be shipped to local FFL which would require a P2P to take it from them.

Okay guys, thx. I last bought a handgun in '98 and the permit was ready on day 30 so I will be very happy if that is repeated. Just thought I would take advantage of being in VT if possible.

You would be covered taking the gun through NY under FOPA as long as you follow the rules.
