Yeah seriously… I don’t know half the shit they’re talking about. wtf is a FID [/quote]
FID = Firearms ID Card. You have to pass a fairly rigorous NJ state police background check and be fingerprinted, pay $60 and wait around 6 months to get one. Then NJ deems you worthy to purchase rifles and shotguns, as long as they aren’t scary, assault-type ones that no one can define, not even law enforcement for the most part(Our assault weapons ban was the “model” for the national Klinton AWB). If you want to buy a handgun, you need to have an FID card first, then go apply for a separate permit(which costs $2) for EACH handgun which entails another background check and a waiting period that is supposed to be 45 days max by statute but often takes months. You can only buy one handgun per month. Magazine capacity is limited to 15 for any weapon. You also now need an FID to buy any pistol ammunition in NJ.
It is the most restrictive licensing scheme in the country and is utter horseshit that does nothing but discourage very honest people from buying guns. You guys in other states really don’t know how much we have been suffering here and the only people who think it is a good idea are a few corrupt politicians and police chiefs(who have the final say on your permits being granted).
The good news is that this scam will soon be in the crosshairs if the SCOTUS Chicago ruling comes back the way it looks like it is going to. [/quote]
I wish it were like that in PA. Then maybe I’d think twice before buying yet ANOTHER gun…

Well described, it trully is a load of horseshit…its such a pain in the ass!!! luckily i didnt have to wait 6 months though, i had mine in a little less than 3 believe it or not…but my 1 real good friend waited almost a year so it really is crazy how long you have to wait…i undestand that NJ i an extremely populated state and they have to make sure they arent just handing out firearms permits, becuase althoug i am all for the 2nd amendment, i think there are PLENTY of people who should not be allowed to own a firearm. but for those who do, it really is a hassle…
