Last time I was in NJ (Hunterdon Co) all of the gunshops that came to mind were closed down. Hell, where are you supposed to even find ammo in NJ? Can you buy it in PA and bring it in? Probably not...

I was told just for pistol ammo, I just bought 8 boxes of 30-30 and some shotgun shells from Dick's and didn't have to show anything but the cash.
When did they start this? My purchase was 2 days ago.

My bad.You need FID to purchase any ammo that can be used in a handgun.
I'm suprised dicks didn't ID you.

As of April 2008 we can no longer purchase handgun ammunition to be delivered to our residences. We must now go through gun shops. The gun shop owner who spoke to me about this claimed that out of state companies were hurting his profit margins and that gang members were using abandoned buildings as addresses in order to obtain fodder for their handguns, sohe and other shop owners testified in Trenton in favor of the law restricting ammo sales. Next time he and his fellow myopics need help from out of state I'm certain Midway and other oufits will come to their aid (not to mention the fact that NJ stores carry only a limited variety of ammo, especially in unpopular calibers such as 10mm Auto, one of my favorites).
