Knightia,

I live in NJ and have no problems whatsoever. The only real hassle is getting a Firearms ID card. That takes about a month and a half. After that, all the laws are for the most part the same as in other states with the exception of the muzzleloader being treated as a firearm.
However the upside of having the FID permit is that buying a handgun is now a snap.


BTW....here is a great page on gun laws. It showsall the relevant stats for each state on one page.....

Any firearms which are substantially identical to any of the above firearms; any semiautomatic shotgun with either a magazine capacity exceeding six rounds, a conspicuous pistol grip, or a folding stock; a semi automatic rifle with a fixed magazine capacity exceeding 15 rounds. Any magazine with a capacity greater than fifteen rounds is prohibited, even if there is no semi-automatic firearm to accompany the magazine unless the person has a registered "assault firearm" and the magazine is used for DCM sanctioned shooting matches.
A part or combination of parts to convert or assemble a firearm into an "assault firearm" is also forbidden.
Any "assault firearm" not registered, licensed, or rendered inoperable pursuant to a state police certificate by May 1, 1991, is considered contraband.
Any "assault firearm" which was not owned prior to May 1, 1990, must be licensed. Application is made to the Superior Court for the county in which the person lives or conducts business. The fee is $75. The court must find that the public safety and welfare require the issuance of the license and the person must be qualified to obtain a handgun carrying license. For practical purposes, no one will be issued such a license.
If the owner of an assault firearm which has been registered dies, the owner`s heirs or estate shall have 90 days if unable to get a license to either transfer the assault firearm to any person or firm lawfully entitled to own or possess such firearm; render the assault firearm inoperable; or voluntarily surrender the assault firearm. According to the state police, removal of the firearm from New Jersey to a state where the gun would be legal is also allowed.

Then you would run into the problem,when you came back to callif,if you changed over your license to a utah lic. and bought the gun.Under calif.law you would have one week to take your guns to the local sheriff,or chief of police if you come from out of state and register your gun.Or they would take it away from you,if for some reason it was checked by a warden out hunting or something. Plus you would have to pay to register it.They got you coming and going. vangunsmith
