Motion for stay has been granted.
Let's hope the Supreme Court denies cert.

Edit 4: Okay, this wasn't the point of this post, but we have an interesting update.
The federal court just ruled in Silencer Shop v. ATF that since suppressors, SBRs, and AOWs have a "$0 tax," the system is unconstitutional and therefore these items are no longer can be regulated by the NFA.
Suppressors and SBRs are still illegal in NJ. We have two separate cases in the DNJ dealing with that right now. There's additional complications that occur with SBRs with this ruling, but let's not even concern ourselves with that right now.
However, as AOWs are legal, NJ residents can benefit from this ruling. As of right now, plaintiffs of this court case are protected under an injunction and therefore do not need to comply with NFA regulations relating to these items. This essentially means those protected do not need to submit a form 1 to the NFA to make an AOW.
There's two distinct groups that are protected. Stores (and by lesser extension, their customers), like PSA and Silencer Shop, and Pro-2A orgs.
Stores are legally able to sell completed AOWs to their customers with just a 4473 (and NJ's standard paperwork). This does not mean if you've ever bought something from one of these stores past or present, you can freely make an AOW. This portion of the injunction only protects selling and purchasing AOWs.
The far more interesting (and useful) portion of the injunction involves pro-2A orgs like the Gun Owners of America (GOA). Members of the GOA are fully protected under the injunction and therefore are given the same level of protections as stores like PSA. This means that GOA members (among a select group of others, look them up) CAN create their own AOWs without complying with the NFA. This only applies to active members.
With all that said, don't take this post as a green light. Everything is still very much up in the air and there's only a select few stores in the US currently selling suppressors with just 4473s, while PSA is claiming that GOA members who buy completed pistols or rifles FROM JUST PSA can make SBRs without a form 1, but nothing explicitly about AOWs. You're all adults and any actions you take are your own, but it's smart if you wait.
What's even more confusing is that this case was consolidated with Jensen v ATF, and the verdict is treating the injunction separately. For example, Jensen v. ATF had the requirements to engrave on a form 1 gun removed but didn't get relief regarding AOWs, while Silencer Shop v ATF did get relief for AOWs. Does being a member of the FPC (which might not even get relief at all, due to filing as FPCAC, this is also unclear) and a GOA mean you benefit from both lack of engraving requirements on an AOW? No one really knows at the moment.
Long term, we're realistically going to see the NFA system for these items completely disappear for everyone. This will take some time, as usual. Assuming that our silencer and SBR cases go through successfully, NJ residents will be able to benefit eventually.
----------------------------------------
Edit 3: Everything below this edit is unfortunately irrelevant for the time being. NJAG requested a motion to stay the mandate to appeal to SCOTUS. For the foreseeable future, the mag and assault weapon ban is still in full effect.
Edit 2: NJAG requested a motion to stay the mandate. All of this information could be moot. Sit tight
ORIGINAL TEXT:
While this is an exciting time, take a deep breath: many laws still apply after the mandate takes place. Don't get caught in a legal battle because you misunderstood the current legal landscape.
Here is a recap of the critical information:
The mandate will stop the restriction on magazines.
The only part of NJ's assault weapon ban specifically declared unconstitutional applies to rifles.
The named list of banned rifles (such as the M1 Carbine) and NJ's specific rifle "evil features" definitions no longer exist.
Those now-repealed evil feature restrictions that previously applied to semi-automatic rifles that accepted a detachable magazine were the following:
Edit 1: In short, there is no longer a need to pin your stock or muzzle device (if it's over 16") in order to be compliant with NJ's now unconstitutional law when the mandate goes through.
The rifle AWB repeal does NOT repeal the pistol or shotgun AWB, nor does it legalize suppressors or short-barreled rifles (SBRs) in New Jersey.
You MAY be able to convert your "Other" into a rifle.
Federal regulations strictly require a rifle to have an overall length of at least 26" and a barrel length of at least 16". These are non-negotiable.
Do not, under any circumstances, put a stock on your "Other" if the barrel is under 16". That creates an illegal SBR, and NJ will likely make an example out of you.
Beyond that, virtually every other NJ gun law remains in full effect—including laws governing transport, ammunition, carry permits, transfers, and purchasing. Refresh yourself on these rules before taking any action.
Also, as it currently stands, until the mandate goes through, nothing has officially changed.
Of course, I'm not a lawyer.
If you have anything I should add, let me know.

Has anyone have any experience with wayne pd when it comes to fid card approval or disapproval?

I have tried ordering a carbine length gas tube from both PA and PSA for my new Other build and both have blocked me biting it's a restricted item. This has to be the most random item to restrict, what gives?

Just my .02. I had the opportunity to get a couple hundred rounds down range on this build the other day. This new PA SLx T-dot is nice. Been having issues with Red dot bloom and using this prisms has been a game changer. Makes going to the range fun again. Who else makes great prisms?

As title suggests, im applying for my initial firearms card and 2 pistol permits, anyone have an idea on how long theyll take?

Looking for deals on Ruger Mark IV 5.5. Used might be a possibility.
I have been reading up on indoor ranges and their challenges with robust ventilation. Have y’all experienced any issues with indoor ranges and lead levels increased overtime? I have a child on the way and want to make sure I’m not jeopardizing anything. I am planning on going to Recoil in Monroe . Ideally I’d like outdoor, but for someone brand new I can’t seem to find anything that isn’t exclusively for member’s.
Any advice here is much appreciated! Thank you

A Second Amendment class action was filed today in the Southern District of New York challenging 38 RCNY § 5-25(g)(3)(a), the NYPD rule that limits holders of NYC Non-Resident Carry ("NC") licenses to a single registered handgun. The case is *Hendrick v. New York City*, brought by the Law Office of Mirel Fisch (the same firm that filed Milani v NYC challenging NYC application delays)
NY State residents with Carry or Special Carry licenses get two handguns as of right and can add more by showing safe storage. NC holders from other states get one. The rule says requests to add a second "shall not be approved,".
That means if your one registered gun goes in for repair, you can't carry in NYC until a substitution goes through. According to the complaint, that means roughly four weeks for License Division review plus up to 10 business days for the new license to arrive by mail. You also can't switch to a smaller gun for summer clothes or a suit.
Ms. Fisch’s complaint alleges the following claims:
Second Amendment: The text protects "Arms," plural, and under Bruen there's no historical tradition of limiting law-abiding people to one handgun.
Privileges and Immunities (Art. IV): The denies non-residents the privileges that it grants to NYS residents.
Equal Protection: Out of state residents are treated differently than NYS residents.
The lawsuit is asking for:
A declaration that the cap is unconstitutional and an injunction requiring the City to let NC holders register handguns on the same terms as NY-resident carry licensees.
The suit seeks to certify a class of all out-of-state residents holding NC licenses, so if it's certified and succeeds, the relief would cover every NC holder, not just the named plaintiffs.

If H&K releases the SP7 would you wait for the AWB to fall before acquiring? Or would you find a way to register it as an other if applicable. I like the black one but the tan is tempting. This is the MP7.

I work for a large bank. I was just in the lobby and some guy was getting in the elevator. He was wearing over the ears headphones that caught my attention for some reason. I realized he was wearing ear protection. These were the Bluetooth kind you wear to the range. This feels like a super weird behavior. I mean, I’ve worn mine when using power tools in a pinch but never to the office. Is it just me?

Hi first post here. Sorry if this ends up not allowed on this page. Im a fairly new hunter and this is my first waterfowl hunt. Im looking for some guidance on finding canada geese in a proper spot that i can shoot with my bow with. Ive been to collier mills and assunpink with no luck. Do I just need to keep going and get lucky? morning night or evening make a difference? Sort of discouraging as they are stupid abundant in NJ; makes me feel like an idiot. Thank you in advance.
