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.
I think 99.9% on this forum got their FPID cards LONG before last year and they in fact do not expire! We are good for life or at least until the commies take over and take our FPID cards and guns away from us.
