Yes NJ gun laws suck. I lived in Myrtle Beach for a couple years before I was married. It felt good to be free while it lasted. I literally got my SC drivers license and then walked across the street to a pawn shop and bought a Beretta .40. I even had a CCW in SC. I currently have CCW for Florida and Utah which most states recognize outside of the Northeast, left coast, Maryland and oddly enough SC.
Right now in NJ I am rushing to try and find my next handgun because it took 5 months to get my subsequent permits to purchase and I don't want to lose any. When I filed for them I got 3. The reason only 3 is because they expire in 90 days and you can only buy one handgun per month in NJ. I used the first on a Japanese Nambu Type 14. Looking to use the next two on a P38 and either a Nagant Revolver or Enfield or Webley Revolver. The only good thing firearms wise to come out of NJ for me was my interest in Collecting Milsurps. I got sick of all the good deals on black Rifles not being NJ Legal, so I started buying Milsurps. At least most of them are legal in NJ, except for the M1 Carbine, just another stupid NJ law. I hope to one day move back to Free America; even if it is just across the river in PA.

California does require a ton of paperwork. I bought most of my collection online. For the seller they just have to ship direct to my FFL and include a copy of their FFL, C&R, or Drivers License. No paperwork required. Even if a firearm isn't NJ Legal because of say a threaded barrel or high capacity magazine it can still be sent by someone unlicensed to my FFL. He just can't transfer it to me til he has made the modifications to make it NJ Legal. Now a Rifle that is banned by name that can not be sent to NJ. Thus I don't buy Rifles marked AK or FAL but I can get a WASR or G1. The M1 Carbine though is strictly prohibited, go figure.
I own a Stag 3G with a pinned stock and blocked off 15/30 Mags and Saiga Converted AK-47 and AK-74 also with blocked 15/30 Mags. They are my only newer rifles. My next newest rifle would probably be my MAS 49/56.

Welcome Aboard...
Welcome to the great ODT, where the adventure is worth the cruise...
My sympathies good sir, but welcome.
Dude you should seriously consider moving to PA and convincing as many liberty minded people as possible to follow you. That state can still be saved. Stop giving your hard earned money to politicians who attack your values every time they open there mouths and vote in your legislature.
I agree with you 100% if it wasn't for my wife I would have left already. Trying to get her to move is the trick. I am more than willing to move across the river and commute to work in NJ 45 minutes instead of 10 minutes.
