I grew up in NJ... moved to FL. Don't miss the restrictive gun laws up there, that's for sure. Do miss things like hills, and mountains, and real big trees. And snow... I miss snow...

It seems like New Jersey and Oregon are the last two hold outs.

The way I heard it, handguns were originally going to be part of the NFA. But, they couldn't have people making "handguns" by cutting down rifles and shotguns, so those were added too. The handgun restriction was dropped, but the other two were left in.
That's just what I read. Could be dead wrong, too. Grain of salt, people. . .
Ahhh, I do love Michigan. The Brady Bunch MUST have missed this one, or we'd be at the bottom of their list.
"Any person over the age of 12 may have a license for a handgun as long as he/she has not been convicted of a felony."

What, they meant to type 21 instead? I bet a stenographer got reamed for that one. . .

Not unusual. Florida law:
775.0846 (2) No person may possess a bulletproof vest while, acting alone or with one or more other persons, he or she commits or attempts to commit any murder, sexual battery, robbery, burglary, arson, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, kidnapping, escape, breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, criminal gang-related offense under chapter 874, controlled substance offense under chapter 893, or aircraft piracy and such possession is in the course of and in furtherance of any such crime.

Why? The lack of leniency is exactly what attracts most people to the High Road, and is what keeps most of the posts on the high road. This is a firearms board/forum, and there is an appropriate place into which to post such extraneous material,but it is not here. The correct place has a link in the upper right hand side of the page, and that would be at the Armed Polite Society.
Why must some of you insist on putting things like this here. Oh that's right, like Obama you insist on change. When a good thing is just that - A GOOD THING - why must you insist on messing with it?
All the best,

Dumb NJ gun laws.
Ownership of an air pistol requires a 'Permit To Purchase a Handgun'. So does ownership of a muzzle-loading handgun, even a single-shot pistol. Beware the Pirates of the Caribbean.
In the current, proposed anti-.50 caliber rifle ban, inline muzzle-loaders are included. I'm sure it's because they look like modern rifles, and that's all the idiots who run this state care about.
We have the nation's only smart gun law, already on the books. The instant the first smart gun becomes available for sale to the public, every other type of handgun automatically becomes illegal for sale in this state.
Crossbows are illegal unless you have a handicaped hunter's license.
If you are Corzine's bro-in-law, and actually have a carry permit, loading with hollow-points is illegal.
There was a proposed ban on .60 caliber muzzle-loaders, but I don't think it went anywhere. I guess they were afraid that Al Quaida was going to start disguising themselves as Revolutionary War reenactors.
That's all I have time for right now.

Here's one, and gun-related to boot...
In CT its legal to own a machinegun (assuming its registered under the NFA), but that machinegun cannot have a semi-auto fire option. IOW, selective fire weapons are illegal (semi and full-auto), but machineguns with only one mode of fire (full-auto only) are legal.

In AZ? No, not true, sorry. Tucson does have a law about disassembling your car and carrying it across town to not disturb the horses, but AZ doesn't have that law in ARS anywhere. The only goofy weapon law we have is you may not carry nunchucks. Go figure.

Look - our laws do leave a lot to be desired, but let's not over-exaggerate them. 24 months after the AG reports that a commercial smart-gun is available, the State Police superintendent has 6 months to assemble a list of "acceptable" personalized handguns. 6 months after THAT list has been delivered to dealers, all sales of non-personalized handguns becomes illegal.
So, we here in NJ have between 2.5 and 3 years after the AG says "go", to buy up all the normal handguns we can possibly acquire.
Refer to NJS 2C:58-2, and it's sub-sections, to verify the above.

A big Thank You to everyone who participated in this thread,pro and con.To me it was a revelation to see that so many archaic gun laws from back to the 1840's are still on the books.
And a special thank you to Jeff White, who let us run with this, while staying within the firearms related guidelines.

+1 to that especially since I moved to Florida, I was born in NJ moved to NY for work reasons and back to NJ and finally Florida. We have lived in Florida 11 years now
AKA "hurricane central." Now the snow does not seem that bad LOL. The gun laws are great in FL though. If NJ ever became a shall issue state we would go back to South Jersey.

'Tain't about what guns you have or can get.
It's about what guns your kids can get when they decide they want to be armed.
It's about what guns your grandkids will have access to.
It's about them accepting as ordinary and natural what we consider outrageous, and from my grandfather's perspective, we are already a few steps down that road.
It's about stomping out that last stubborn 12% of NJ's population that leaps through all the hoops flambe' to obtain arms.
And it's one of the dozen or so factors that added up to NJ being a lost cause, the reason I vamoosed.

I would love to see some of these laws used. Especially the one allowing you to hang anyone caught shooting your dogs on your property.
sad thing is that the judge would simply ignore that law if it ever needed to be used.

So what does everyone think will happen to the smart gun law in the wake of Heller?
