Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted December 13, 2012 I don't see why a certain caliber would be illegal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O-gre 7 Posted December 13, 2012 Depends on your definition of legal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,573 Posted December 13, 2012 The only legal ramifications with hollow points are when they are used in a crime Not quite. Objects can not be illegal. I'll assume you meant that the possession of hollow points would be illegal if used in a crime. True, but, the possession of hollow point bullets would also be illegal under any circumstance if the possession is outside the stated exemptions in the law.

Lecky 1 Posted December 13, 2012 I was under the impression that it was illegal to have hollow points in new jersey, a friend was asking me about it yesterday and I couldn't give him an accurate answer because I wasn't sure. Thanks for the help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueLineFish 615 Posted December 13, 2012 Think of hollow points being legal only in the same places as a handgun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but, the possession of hollow point bullets would also be illegal under any circumstance if the possession is outside the stated exemptions in the law. I think I see what you're saying. For example, someone goes for a drive to the grocery store but packs up their pistol and hollow points (let's say the ammo is properly separated as required).. The guy gets pulled over and announces he has his pistol in the back... Is the possession of the hollow points an additional crime?

PK90 3,573 Posted December 13, 2012 Yes. But to add, separation of ammo from the firearm is also not required. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PK90 3,573 Posted December 13, 2012 There is no law that says ammo must be separate from a firearm, only that the firearm needs to be unloaded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidskin 3 Posted December 13, 2012 Interesting. I just brushed up on the transportation laws and I don't see anything that specifies separation of ammo and firearm. I always put my ammo in the trunk and firearm in the back seat... Wonder why I've been doing that all this time...

Alternatively, and this has actually happened in this state - one loose .22 LR hollow point that fell in the car is a felony offense if found by the police. If you buy it in the store, take it directly home. If you go to the range with it, go directly there and directly back. Otherwise you are in a big jam if you get caught. I have a big problem with NJ dealers selling hollow points and giving no guidance at all. They really ought to warn you, considering how much of a jam you can get into if you buy some and then go to the mall and then to the movie theater and then to the supermarket, etc., with it in your car.

Long guns are fine in the back as long as they are cased or in a securely tied package. Handguns go unloaded in the trunk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
