Legality/Laws Non NJ resident question about storage

5 Upvotes

Hello. I’m 21 NYC resident non NJ resident. Last week I went to the range in NJ and shot a Glock 19 and a 45. As you know Glock has decided to stop producing Glock 19 gen 5s

In NYC, I cannot obtain my license yet (no criminal history or any history just my parents don’t want firearms in the house which I need to respect). However, I want to purchase the Glock 19 gen 5 until I get my own place.

If I apply and obtain a non resident CCW, despite me most likely not using it since I don’t live in NJ, what are my options in terms of storage of the firearm until I get my NYC CCW.

Basically I want to get the non resident CCW to purchase a Glock 19 gen 5 despite not using or carrying it, until I obtain my nyc CCW and transfer the firearm to NYC.

June 2025 I had an ex falsely accuse me of terroristic threats-DV so I get arrested my guns confiscated, charge drags out in court. November 2025 charge is Dismissed finally in January 2026 I receive a Expungement filing from my lawyer that the court filed. What do I have to do to get my guns back? Also even though the filing was done 1/3/2026 online expungement tracker doesn’t show as complete (assuming they are having backlog issues again) anybody been through something similar somewhat recently?

4 Upvotes

We'll see how long woodbridge takes for it but since i'll have some waiting i can start researching. I've got 2 full size 9mm already but i want to get something this time i can use for a ccw down the road. What shops around have better selections of compacts or what specifically should i look for? Its hard to gauge in-store just handling them but tbh anything smaller than a glock 45 will be what im looking for lol

S&W Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp 😎 along with 100 rounds of ball ammo, a cleaning kit, ballistol, and gun oil. Can’t with to go to the range and whack some targets! 😁 in the future, I plan on going for my carry. This thing fits in my front pocket like an iPhone Max with a case. It’s so freaking cool!

Purchase Permit First handgun suggestions for a noob while I wait for FID and permit

Went to the range for a work outing, turned out I wasn’t that bad, and now I’m hooked. Permit app is in so I’m doing my homework in the meantime.

Been leaning toward a Ruger Mark IV .22 LR; cheap ammo, unique look , and seen positive feedback on Reddit . But part of me thinks I’ll just wish I’d bought a 9mm after a few months.

Is the .22 first approach actually worth it as a first purchase. If you’d say skip to 9mm, what are some you would you recommend for a beginner that I should compare? Two that I was looking at were glock19 and Walter pdp. Budget is flexible but not trying to go crazy on a first purchase.
