To answer the OP's original question -- if you were convicted of a misdemeanor in Arizona and move to California where the same crime would have been a felony, that does not mean you have a felony record.
One of the factors they look at to determine if a straw purchase has occurred is if the end recipient gave the buyer money to purchase the gun and/or directed the buyer on which gun to get. From the OP it doesn't sound like either of those is true, so it is likely not a straw purchase...
Short answer: No, you can't bring your gun legally. FOPA protects you if you're travelling through New Jersey. You are staying in New Jersey where possession of a handgun is illegal. You can go to jail for ten years.
In other words, don't do it.
The company certainly has the right to protect their image. They can tell you how to dress when you're not on company property. They can tell you not to have your tattoos showing. They can tell you not to wear your skull ring. They can tell you you must be clean shaven. They can certainly...
I think the problem here is that you keep conflating "the law" (what is legal to do) with "the contract" (what is allowed in your rental agreement). There's a difference. Violations of the contract will get you evicted. Violations of the law will get you arrested. It's legal to own a dog...

If an out of stater wishes to possess a loaded firearm, he may do so provided:
1) He and...
This is stupid. It's not a stolen gun -- he sent it to the guy voluntarily. It is an entirely civil matter. The answer is you sue him in small claims court for the value of the gun.
The difficulty you're going to have is that you have no proof it was a loan. He'll claim it was a gift and...
I have never lent a firearm, but I would loan one to a family member if they were in dire need of it and could not risk doing the waiting period to buy one of their own.
In the presence of -- no, not that I know of. In possession of -- yes absolutely. Now, what constitutes possession? That's a question for very expensive lawyers. Sometimes being in the same car with contraband means everyone in the car is in possession of the item.
You could argue that you...
