Then they'll apologize for the wait. That's assuming you have your NJ permit already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking the same thing. My understanding is that a carry permit from ANY state (eg. Utah/Florida non-resident) mitigates the to/from range transport restrictions.

IANAL, but as long as you are going from one of your residences to another (or your business or a range), you should be GTG. The law does provide for reasonable stops (food, gas, etc). It would be unreasonable to assume you would make a 5 day trek non stop. You would just need to make sure that they allow guns on the premises where you stay, otherwise you have gone from a place where it was legal to a place where it was illegal and have now violated the FOPA conditions.

Agreed, but I'm much less worried about the legality of the move than I am about theft while I'm in transit. And I need to research Illinois a little more...NY doesn't really recognize the FOPA's protections for moving between residences, and it's possible that Illinois is backwards enough to also ignore federal law.

ESB 248 Posted October 13, 2023 I'd avoid IL if at all possible. Both because of the laws and thefts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
