    As a brand new gun owner and owner of an SUV, I also had the same question. Here's a Q&A from the NJ State Police site: http://www.njsp.org/...t/firearms.html

     

    Q6. How do you transport firearms?

     

    A6. Firearms shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported.

     

    Ammunition must be transported in a separate container and locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported.If the vehicle does not have a compartment separate from the passenger compartment, the firearm must be in a locked container other than the vehicle's glove compartment or console.

     

    I transport the gun in the rear-most section of the truck in a locked gun case with a lock on the gun also (the second lock on the gun is MY choice and preference). I keep the ammo in my range bag (a backpack) and throw that back there with the gun.

    Thanks for all the great replies. I need an ammunition decoder ring to figure out some of the acronyms though. Rifleman wrote this: can someone explain what fps is and +P

    • Is the 115 grain less desirable than the 124? - Not less desireable, just lighter and therefore higher fps rates. With a heaver bullet you can move up to +P to keep the velocity up.

    I am a first-time gun owner - purchased a Ruger SR9 last week. I have some questions about ammunition and am looking for sound advice and seasoned gun owner's experiences. I've shot Magtech, Blazer and Federal 9mm Luger ammo with the gun and I have had the best experience with the Blazer and Federal. So, my questions are:

    1. Is the 115 grain less desirable than the 124?
    2. Is it safe to buy the ammo online and have it shipped? (I've seen good deals on Cabela's and natchezss.com).
    3. If I buy in bulk (which for me right now is more than 2 boxes at a time) what is the best way to store it?
    4. Are there any good gun stores in Northern NJ that sell ammo at good prices? (I've bought a few boxes at Ramsey's up in Ledgewood for $14/box).
    5. Does it matter if I buy brass or aluminum?
    6. Does really cheap ammo do any damage to the gun? And, is it potentially dangerous?
    7. Is there a manufacturer I should never, ever buy?

    Thanks for any help and feel free to thrown in other ammo tips I didn't ask about!!!
