New Jersey Has Frozen Over--Gun Stores Declared "Essential"

[bushmaster1313]

New Jersey has indeed frozen over. By Administrative Order 2020-6, New Jersey has declared "FFLs" to be "essential retail businesses.":

Executive Order Declaring New Jersey Gun Stores "Essential"

The operative text is quoted below:

3. Effective Tuesday, March 31, at 8:00 am, Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) are added to the list of essential retail businesses in accordance with paragraph 6 of Executive Order No. 107, but must operate under the following provisions:

a. FFLs may remain open to the public only for the purpose of completing the portions of a sale or transfer that must be conducted in-person under state and/or federal law and for the purpose of product maintenance and repair services;

b. All in-person sales or transfers shall be conducted by appointment and during limited hours so as to minimize congregating of persons; and

c. FFLs must operate in accordance with paragraphs 6 and 7 of Executive Order No. 107 regarding social distancing and all other applicable provisions of that Order.

The Guidance from Homeland Security, upon which New Jersey based the reversal of its policy closing FFLs and NICS checks in New Jersey, is here:

It helps for gun stores to be open if they still have any guns or ammo to sell. If you are looking for anything in a newly opened store, you had best be first in line.

Ours are open in CT too but it's as tough to get ammo here as it is to get toilet paper. Guess we have to decide if we want to shoot or sπ|t. Don't have time to look for both of them lol. The combo ranges/FFL's aren't staying open on the shooting side unless you're buying a new gun. Look out chipmunks, here I come [emoji1745][emoji2537][emoji40]

The stores may be open, but is it any easier to buy guns?

I wonder if we can trade toilet paper for S&W's?

Wasn’t there a Seinfeld episode that addressed this phenomenon? Bizzaro World?
