Bklynracer 1,259 Posted June 27, 2021 Been looking up, really can't find a definite answer. If a friend who lives in NJ AND does Not have a NJ FID card is in PA buys ammo Lets say Walmart because they want to go trap shooting with me. A. Is he allowed to transport it in NJ, if yes is the plastic Walmart bag ok or does he need a locked container B. Can he sell it or give to me as a gift when back Sorry if this a repeat topic, Just Want to give correct info out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,417 Posted June 27, 2021 I believe so, yes. While you need a FPID to purchase handgun ammo in NJ, there is no possession statute so what your friend does in PA is none of NJ’s business. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bklynracer 1,259 Posted June 27, 2021 That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. Based on the above quote. It says firearm or ammo needs to be locked. So if he was driving a day cab tractor and had a firearm and ammo he would need a container in the cab that locks. What if he just stopped and bought ammo can it be carried in a bag in the cab since there is no firearm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not sure how it would apply to just the transport of ammo by itself (no firearm). Quote shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just trying to interpret what's written and see if a friend with no firearm and no trunk can buy ammo and carry it in a plastic bag or cardboard box from a store without needing a large container with a lock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bklynracer 1,259 Posted June 27, 2021 Let's try another way, driving back from PA driving a Tahoe, lucky enough to find 10 flats of shotgun shells. Don't have a locked container big enough for 10 flats. Can you legally transport? When guys go to these big trap shoots, how do they tranport so many flats?

IANAL Is the Tahoe driver a Prohibited Person? If no, then put all the flats closest to the lift gate & out of the driver's reach in SEALED flats. Sealed flats (cases) might as well be in a "locked container" as far as my arthritic hands are concerned, lol. Out of state competitors bring CASES of ammo with them everywhere they travel. Under a blanket. At the liftgate of a SUV. NO ONE that I know of in 50 years behind the trigger has gotten jacked-up for drivin' SEALED factory-fresh ammo across state lines. Anyone doing me a favor bringing me 10 cases of scattergun shells gets a prime rib dinner for their troubles! ~R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
