Now I assuming based on where you live the state would be NJ, correct? If so you will be lucky to own a weapon much less a concealed carry permit, so good luck. Here in Kentucky took less than 30 days to get a Carry Concealed Deadly Weapon permit which covers darn near any weapon of any type regardless.

Sounds like it. Too many 'red flags' here to even respond.

I would ask myself this question if I was in your situation - is owning a firearm before I can lawfully obtain one under New Jersey's laws really worth going to prison for?

Seriously, if you do not know nor can figure this out for yourself you do not need to be in possession of any weapons. Your best bet is to hide in the closet if something were to happen.

Here is the thing. I had a rifle I wanted to part with about 18 months ago. I just had no need for it,
it was taking up space and I knew there was a decent market for it. I offered it for sale in an online
forum for $500 (California). Got a message, "I'll take it" but need to inspect. Fine I said, we made
arrangements to meet at a starbucks nearby, and the guy comes with a friend. Its ok my wife is in
another car with her sidearm and AR so I wasn't worried, but they were almost "biker" like if you don't
mind the stereotype. The guy says man I'll go $560 cash right now - it looks over 50 years old. See
in California if a long gun is over 50 you don't have to go through an FFL or do any paper work - its
cash and carry. Now I'm not stupid and know my rifle had a DOB in the 1970's (early) so its no
where near 50. I said no I have to go thorugh the local gun shop. There is one a mile that way,
and one a mile the other way. Which do you prefer. "Never mind" the guy says and walks. As he
got to his car I wasn't far away, I heard the words, "no joy" and upon looking his way and seeing
him look back he flashed his badge from under the velcro. Had I said yes in hopes of making $60
instantly - I'd lost my grandfathers Colt SAA's and Winchester lever, my fathers WWII used 1911
and M1, my service weapons from my time in federal agencies and local police including the first
one with the funny story about being bought by my mom since I was too young (in CA) to buy it
but could carry it. I'd have lost them all - for $60 - or for being on the "black market."
This is why gun control laws really get under my skin. They are traps and if you fall into the traps
you LOSE EVERYTHING!
Go buy a legal gun.

Here is a link to some of your potential future cellmates mugshots, who got caught in NJ for gun trafficking:

First I'd sit down with the legal professional that prepared your will with http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/firearms/062408_title13ch54.pdf . And I'd ask him this question. if I'm reading this correctly I can own an antique rifle or shotgun (basically a black powder single shot muzzle loader), Right? If he says Yes, then I'd purchase something like and inexpensive .45 or .50 caliber muzzle loader and sit tight til your registration card comes back. If you go out and purchase a pistol rifle or other firearm illegally and you're caught with it your legal ability to own one forever in the state of NJ goes right down the toilet.

There are places that specialize in this kind of thing. They are called gun stores. Their entire business model exists around putting guns in your hands - it is how they survive, it is how they put bread on their table. And they are good at it. To stay in business, they must know the laws in the area they operate in, which coincidentally is the area YOU live in where ever that may be. Their ability to run a LEGAL business is directly tied to you being able to legally purchase.
Seek out one of these gun stores. Tell them where you are in the process. See if they can answer your questions. See if they can sell you a gun. If they think you are not a viable candidate or do not meet the legal requirements in your state, they won't sell to you.
