FFL Dealers in New Jersey
222 federally licensed firearms dealers across New Jersey, from the ATF’s published licensee list. Pick a city for names, addresses and phone numbers.
This is the ATF licensee list — who holds a licence and where. It is not opening hours, not transfer fees, and not a guarantee that a given dealer handles private-party transfers. Call before you drive.
What New Jersey requires for a private transfer
- New Jersey requires every private firearm sale to go through a licensed dealer, so an FFL is not optional here — you need one of the dealers below.
- There is a 7-day waiting period in New Jersey between purchase and taking possession.
- New Jersey requires a permit to purchase for some firearms.
- New Jersey exempts some transfers between family members, but the exemption is narrower than people expect and does not cover every relative or every kind of transfer. Check before relying on it.
- FID + permit per handgun. 7-day waiting period.
We hold no city in New Jersey with 8 or more licensed dealers. Search by ZIP code instead.
Doing the transfer itself
A dealer handles the background check. The bill of sale, both parties’ records and a permanent copy of the paperwork are what Gun Transfer does — $50 flat, about ten minutes.
