I live in NJ. A few years ago my Dad passed and left me an old Remington model 1903 30.06. My ex GF and I drove all the way to Fla. to pick it up and drive it back. After I got it home I took it out of the case and looked at it once, then put it back in the case, buried it in the back of the closet and forgot about it. Fast forward about 2 years - the ex and I get in a verbal fight, she lies to the police and has me removed from our home for 7 months. As part of her anger she decides to call the LEO's and turn in my old gun as I have no permit for it. Long story short, her charges against me were BS and she lost her case in court. :smash: Now I am faced with the task of applying for a Firearms Permit in NJ and finding that the local P.D. is less than cooperative. I have been trying to get a hold of one of the Sgt's. in the local P.D. but he does not return my calls. He is the one who handles the Firearms Permit applications.
What can I do? Call the NRA? Complain to my Governors Ofc.? What are my options?
 
Get a bow/arrow and shoot the bitch.....


even MY ex, in Faryland knew not to go there with me, and she was a grossly overpaid/spoiled shitless .gov worker.....

I wish it were that simple Gene. She has done all of the malicious shit, I have been extremely passive. When our time in court comes, and it will, she will not be cast in a very favorable light. Hopefully that works to my advantage.

Any other advice, other than violence?

Sorry man, dunno, just know that you are stuck in a asshole section of the nation, mainly the NE section from Minn. down to the Carolina/Va. border....

then there is always Ca. and so out west....

unless you have kids to leave it to, maybe better to just drop the issue as those quartz up there are loaded with nazi/communists and have NO sympathy with YOU....

damnit.....:suicide:
 
Wouldn't hurt to call the NRA. If nothing else, they may have some advice to offer. They also may have a local chapter that could help.

Search the web for gun owner websites. There are gun forums like this one that are likely to have people in your area that have already gone through this and can help.

I'd also bet there are attorneys that specialize in helping with permits. Even if you don't hire one, you might learn how to proceed during the initial consultation.

Fill out the forms and bring the payment along with you to the police department. Call first to make sure he is there that day.
 
Damn. 1903 is a nice rifle. I would love to get my hands on a good one. Did you know the military was using accurized versions of the 1903 as sniper rifles all the way into Viet Nam?
I don't really have any advice for you, other than to say after you get a resolution, move the hell out of New Jersey.
 
Check with ATF - I think 100 year old rifles are exempt from most regulations. Otherwise, if you have family in another state, they might be able to pick up the gun or have it shipped to them.... you can get it back at your convenience - after you've gotten the proper blessings from the local fuzz.
 
You could also ask your local gunsmith, or at the local gun range, or someplace they offer gun/hunter safety classes.

Good Luck!

That would be nice but I'd triple check federal, state and local laws to be sure. He'll also need to know the date of manufacture of his rifle. Model 1903s were made all the way through WWII. The serial number can be cross referenced with an online database to check the manufacture date.

There is also a date code on the barrel. 1903s with correct date barrels are more valuable. The date will be in the format of m-yy. For example, a 2-17 stamped barrel would have been made in Feb of 1917.

My Dad served during the Korean war. He purchased the rifle after he got out of the Army but rarely fired it. My guess is it would date to the 1960's.

They weren't manufactured after 1944 but were still in service through Vietnam. The Remington versions were made in 1941, 1942, 1943, or 1944 depending on sub model number.

You learn something new every day! If I ever get it back I will look into it and see when it is dated and if it has a matching numbers barrel. :hi:
 
Well, let's see.... I have joined the NRA and sent them an e-mail, reached out to my local NJ Rifle and Handgun club via e-mail, sent the NJ Governor an e-mail and joined the NJgunforums.com. Here is a copy of the letter I sent to the Governors office.



I am afraid that my second amendment rights are being violated by my local police department. I am trying to obtain a NJ Firearms ID Card and/or Purchase Permit but my local police department is being difficult and uncooperative. I do not want to offend the local police department as they have the final say in my application being approved or denied but I do not know how to get them to cooperate. So far I have been misinformed and misled by them in an obvious attempt to deflect my attempts to legally own a gun in NJ. Each time I try to contact them to initiate the process I am ignored. What are my options? Thank You in advance for your assistance.

Hopefully my passive aggressive position will get some results. I sure don't want to have to name names and file complaints. :rain:
