Hello, new owner of a handgun in NJ. Had a question for all of you experts out there! I keep seeing all these different things online so I have an suv so the trunk area is accessible to the back seat area. From my understanding, it needs to be locked in a case and its fine to be in the trunk of my suv? Also my other question.. the ammo.. that needs to be in a separate case? Does it need to have a lock on it or can it just be a bag with a zipper?
Sorry to create another topic on this but I've searched & searched (both here & on the web) to no avail.
Next month, I'm driving from NJ to Outer Banks, NC and I just want to know the protocol for a long gun & 2 handguns. My plan is to have them unloaded, cased, and locked in the trunk. Ammo will be separate. Am I missing anything?
Bonus question, it's a long drive & we obviously have to stop. I read that stopping in DE or VA should be OK. Stopping in MD is a no-no since they are just as strict about that as PRNJ.
New member, did a lot of searching on this forum and others for an answer to my question. Looking to purchase my first firearm and, since I don't have a car, am trying to figure out how to get the gun to the range. Is it legal to travel to the range with a gun via public transportation (light rail, bus, etc) Does it matter if its a pistol or a rifle? Appreciate any help, at a loss right now.
