what kind of rifle requires a special permission / permit from police to buy?

[buckhound]

my nephew went to the new dicks in vineland they had a mossberg  mvp-lc  he wanted to look at it and was told no that he needed to go get some kind of special permission from state police...

Normally they ask for your FID and that's it.  Never had them tell me to go get special permission.

 

Probably an uneducated sales person.

 

They cannot sell it with an adjustable buttstock, it would have to be pinned.  They could not sell it with a flash suppressor, but the muzzle break is fine.  They cannot sell it with a >15-rnd magazine.  Those are the only restrictions, and they are on the sale/transfer of the weapon.

i have never heard it he said it was nj compliant.... sounds like he was being an ass

Clerk probably didn't want him to handle it & gave him bs story

Total BS. If it was illegal to own in NJ they would be breaking the law possessing it. All FFL holders in NJ are type 7. There has never been a FFL with a class 3 issued in NJ which would allow that holder to possess illegal platforms, 3 shot burst, or full auto guns.

 

It's not called Dick's for nothing.

 they probably lost a sale he got his FID bout a year ago whenever he sees a gun he wants buys it....

[Bucndoe]

He was probably referring to an FID card. There is nothing else, period.

Not true.

Rays sport shop in Plainfield held one.

Much of the damage to the shooting range walls were from Dwight and some of his police friends shooting fully auto toys there.

Dicks makes up their own rules depending on who is working. HATE them

[birdshotnj]

This doesn't surprise me

^{I would be that the OP's nephew misunderstood what the clerk was asking for and the clerk was not clear that what he really wanted  was a firearms purchasers ID card.}

The problem is that he waisted his time at Dicks.  Have him go to Butches or The Gun Rack, great people in both stores.

[buckhound]

he made it clear he had a FID card and said he never heard of a special card the guy wouldn't accept the FID  he only went in with his girlfriend to see what the new store looked like and seen this gun he usually goes to butch's or gun rack.....
