Shooter14 0 Posted January 26, 2013 My father owns a business and will be traveling over seas next month. I will be taking care of the business while he is gone. I do not work for the business but help him out while my parents travel. I did work for him during high school and college. My function is to collect cash money at the end of every day....about an hour of time a day. I'm I legally allowed to have my Sig 229 on me while at the business? It's not the best of areas.... I will carry the firearm unloaded to the business in the trunk and ammo in my car from my home to the business. I would not load it until on the actual site. Any help would be much appreciated! Been shooting handguns , shotguns and all types of rifles since 1992... Really enjoy reading the forum! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shooter14 0 Posted January 26, 2013 i am no lawyer but from my understand no. only the owner can carry. Is there a different rule for gun store owners? I see employees carrying there. He could pay me a nominal fee as an employee for my time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted January 26, 2013 IANAL, but I would inquire of your Dad IF he might see his way clear to "sell" you a small percentage of the business for a poultry sum, thereby making you an "owner"? To my knowledge, NJ doesn't require sole proprietorship in order to carry at a family-owned establishment......... See threads contained herein under the Firearms Statutes and consult an Attorney......a measly 1% MAY be all that is required, since the statute doesn't require a "controlling interest".... Good luck! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tt-33 8 Posted January 26, 2013 if you normally cant carry you still cant unless you are an owner .I worked for a gun store 3 years ago and were told 100% the only thing we could do was apply for a premis / restricted licence of some sort,so we had several loaded guns hidden behind counters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or in an office? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mag1 0 Posted January 26, 2013 Get put on part owner on the business and you are good to go. I was in a similar situation, except my colleague was in your shoes. I used to be in a bad part of town Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
