Transport to PA

[davisac 1]

Do I need a FID card to transport a shotgun to a PA shooting range? I would be following the standard locked case separate ammo etc. I've also heard that a hunting license works for this but kind of doubt it. Thanks everyone.

The letter of the law says yes. The intent says no.

Travel to a range(it doesn't specify in-state only) is an exempted activity, why would this be prohibited?

I found this on the NRA's site but I can't find it anywhere on NJ's firearm information. Can you point me to it so I can print it out?

you can dig through the state website but it's a pain, the navigation sucks...here's a copy at this place: http://www.samsachs.com/crimlaws/2c_39-6.shtml

I also posted this a while back. It was in the monthly letter from ANJRPC.

Know the law. It never hurts to have too much documentation or credentials with you either.

It's a shame for us law-abiding citizens that many of us are paranoid when it comes to this subject. Makes you wonder.
