Thank you for all the replies everyone! I was sort of thinking along the same lines (leave my firearms in TN) but was hoping not to have to do so. Oh well. Thankfully I will be able to leave my firearms in TN so at least I won't be without them for the entire trip! I committed to this trip for a very good friend and to be honest, were it not for that I would probably not set foot in NJ because of their firearm laws (which is a shame as I know of some fo the beautiful spots in NJ)...please understand, no offense intended, but one of the reasons I moved south was to live in a state that had a view of firearms more in keeping of my own!. Thanks again for the insight!

Hello all! I hate to ask a question that has probably been asked a thousand times but I'm hoping someone can help me. I've been searching here and looking at NJ law and I am utterly confused about the answer to my question. I will be traveling from Savannah GA to Somerset NJ in late July; staying in Somerset for three days and then returning home. I'm driving and frankly, I don't want to be unarmed for that entire trip but I'm wondering if I should just leave my weapons at home. I will be in a full sized SUV (no trunk in other words) and as best I can tell, I may be covered under18 U.S. Code § 926A - Interstate transportation of firearms so long as I follow its provisions for transport. Likewise with ammunition although it sounds as if I should only have FMJ ball ammo in my possession. Can anyone confirm my understanding? I do have the option of disarming and leaveing my firearm and ammo in Knoxville TN but I'd really rather not have to do that if I don't have to. I appoligize if this question has been asked many times before - thanks in advance for any help/info!
