MackofallTrades Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I have a question regarding the legality of the .22 caliber Henry lever action (and I know I must have missed something when I read the NJ law). The rifle can hold up to 21 rounds of .22 shorts. Isn't the max allowed in NJ 15 rounds? What makes this rifle legal here? I am interested in picking one up, so I was reading the law on it and it seems to qualify as a gun that has a "large capacity magazine." Any thoughts? Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk.

BowhunterNJ Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Man I honestly don't know, I had my eye on this thread as I was interested in the feedback as well.
Hatchet Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) I just looked up a thread on this in New Jersey Gun Forums n the post were from 2010 but couple of them said it only applies to semi auto n detachable mags but I would double check with a reputable gun store http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/18568-henry-rifles/ Edited January 3, 2014 by Hatchet BowhunterNJ 1 You add camo to anything, it immediately becomes cool.
Haskell_Hunter Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Honestly, call Nappan or another lawyer. Get legal advice from a lawyer not a forum. Yes, it's a good place to start, but NJ gun laws are confusing, and it sounds better when you tell a judge that you consulted an attorney. Just sayin'... Sapere aude. Audeamus. When you cannot measure, your knowledge is meager and unsatisfactory.
MackofallTrades Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Haskell, just getting pointed in the right direction. I reread the law and realized I missed the fact that it applies to semi automatic rifles only. A lever action doesn't meet that definition. Also, it makes no difference if the mag is detachable. This is my interpretation only, but I do play a lawyer on forums (and once in a while at work, when they don't yell at me for doing it...lol). Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk.
