Q: If you bought a air rifle/pistol from pa not knowing you had to get it registered for New Jersey where you live
I have a nj firearms permit but not for the air powered gun/ pistol
A: You did not ask a question, but if your question is what are the procedures for licensing you can check out the NJ State Police Website and look under Firearms Information and Firearms FAQS
A: New Jersey does not have fire arms licenses. You need an FID card to purchase guns or ammo. But to safely posses in your home, business or gun range there is no license required. The danger lies in possession outside the home, office or range. That requires a carry permit and failure to have that permit could expose you to 3-5 years in State Prison with no early release.
