What is NJ definition of loaded?

[ryan_j 0]

Ammo in gun - loaded

Ammo not in gun - unloaded

Unless you're in Utah where it's only loaded if there's one in the chamber

NJ law is so draconian that the State doesn't have to prove the gun is loaded in order for you to "go-away".  Maybe that's why they never bothered?  All guns are illegal, and exist ONLY through Exception and Exemption.  Therefore the laws only need to spell-out the Exemptions and Exceptions.  It is in these laws where the "unloaded" terminology comes into play, as in "unloaded and wrapped OR secured in your car trunk", etc., etc.

 

Not even the Politicians wish to split hairs over this nuance, so perhaps it's just better to let sleeping dogs lie........

Don't spend too much time thinking about what is allowed.  Just air on the side of caution and keep you guns broken down at all times.  Place the barrel in a safe in the boot and the firing pin locked in the glove compartment.  Your mags should be in a Saran wrapped titanium-box in your buddy's trunk as he follows your car at a distance of no less than 250 ft.  

 

Seriously, though.  Knowing that the laws will be interpreted in the most anti-2A fashion, just go with the strictest interpretation that you can reasonably glean from the statutes.

NJ law does not define "loaded". Evan Nappen recommends traveling with mags UNLOADED.

 

E.g. You can have your handgun, unloaded mags and loose ammo mixed inside a plastic shopping bag in your trunk. No problem. But if the mags are loaded even if they are not attached to the gun, you might have some trouble.

If you see a deer that has just been hit, and its legs are broken, can you take out that rifle and put the animal out of its misery?

 

No. There is no "good Samaritan" clause in New Jersey for euthanizing an animal. Everything must be by the book. Crazy, isn't it? (A "rifle" would be a sure way of getting a DEP violation too, not to mention other infractions given the circumstances.)

You may not kill a deer as an unlicensed hunter ever with a firearm. Nor can you use a .22lr on a deer because its not an approved weapon to hunt with. Law enforcement are permitted to put an injured animal out of its missery if it was involved in an auto accident and laying helpless on the road, or kill an animal suspected of having rabies/other sickness.

 

If you were a licenced hunter and had a firearm you could legally hunt with, and it was deer season for that particular weapon, and you were the legal distance from frequently visited buildings then you could legally put the deer out of its missery. Basically the moon must be aligned with Jupiter and mars for this to happen

 

Driving around with a 10/22 for the reason of putting an injured animal down is not legal or a good idea.

I've seen this happen exactly once, and it was the cops that did it, after my car hit the poor thing. 

 

Our town has a deer hotline. You call them and they'll come pick up the carcass. It's run by Space Farms who uses the meat to feed the animals.
