Anyone familiar with the process of applying for, and securing a permit to own and purchase firearms in NJ? I know the process for handgun ownership is supposed to be fairly complex, but is the same also true of licensing and purchasing of other firearms as well? Seems an odd thing to be posting here, but I feel most comfortable with the people that frequent the site. Also, seems as if some people are fairly knowledgable about firearms. Appreciate any useful advice. I do not have any minor children in my home and any weapons purchased would be trigger locked and secured.

Kevin- Thanks for the help. It gives me a place to start. Found the stat on CCW rather amazing. My sister's ex-husband had one, I'm guessing due to the "secretive" nature of his father's government employment. Always thought it was odd since he worked for a retail food chain and in a non-security - related job. I now realize how extremely unusual his situation must have been. He's a genuinely nice person, BTW despite his and my sister's unsuccessful relationship. Sorry to ramble on . Thanks again.
