NEW JERSEY GOES AFTER CALIFORNIA GHOST GUN PRODUCER

by Bob Walsh

U. S. Patriot Armory is based in Apple Valley, CA. They produce unfinished AR-15 receivers. Under current law these are considered gun parts and not guns. They can be sold to anybody with no record keeping. They are not serialized. They can be turned into a functional receiver by drilling a few holes in the right places.

New Jersey does not like that. They have sued the company under consumer fraud laws for selling an unfinished AR-15 receiver to an A. G. investigator.

It is illegal under state law for a New Jersey resident to buy or possess an unfinished receiver. It is not illegal for a CA company to sell them. Many other sellers have stopped shipping these items to New Jersey. U. S. Patriot Armory has not.
