Hello Everyone
I am new to the forum and this is my first post
I have a problem. I have decided recently that in order to protect myself and my family I would like to own a handgun. I live in NJ, and the laws are extraordinarily onerous. I went to the local police department to apply for a permit, and I was told by the detective that because of an event in my past (not a criminal conviction or involutary hospitalization) that the application process would involve a horribly invasive investigation including all medical records, and that my confidential information would then go on record forever at the police department as public information even if I was rejected. This, obviously, was unacceptable.
So, I am wondering how I can get around this and buy a handgun leagally through some other method. I want to stress that I do not want to break the law, but I am certainly willing to exploit loopholes because I feel my rights have been trampled. Are there any states in which out-of-state people can buy? Are there any gunshow laws? Special circumstances in person to person sales as opposed to dealers? Any way that an honest citizen from NJ can get a handgun without being crucified by the NJ permit process? As I said I have never committed a criminal act and so I will pass any federal criminal background check, so that is not an issue.
I would really appreciate any advice
thanks very much
