Crew4s 0 Posted August 27, 2016 Is it possible for a New Jersey resident to travel on a motorcycle in New Jersey with a handgun (legally purchased in New Jersey) without a carry permit under NJSA 2C:39-6? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Patrick 638 Posted August 27, 2016 As long as you follow the normal transport rules I'll agree why not? My buddy brings his under the seat of his sports bike all the time this signature exceeds the 15 character capacity count Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HuntingPaper 62 Posted August 27, 2016 Totally legal, I do it all the time. Just remember the guidelines: unloaded, securely packed and not readily accessible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard 538 Posted August 27, 2016 So, if you are not fortunate enough to own a car or a motorcycle can you just walk from your home to a range with your gun in a locked case as well - or does the state make it impossible for a poor person or city dweller to transport their firearm???

brucin 918 Posted August 27, 2016 I purchased a Mosin at a store in Paterson and while walking back to the car with nothing but a plastic bag covering 3/4's of the rifle crossed the street in front of a patrol car. The officer didn't bat an eye. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leahcim 673 Posted September 3, 2016 So, if you are not fortunate enough to own a car or a motorcycle can you just walk from your home to a range with your gun in a locked case as well - or does the state make it impossible for a poor person or city dweller to transport their firearm??? I have taken a bicycle to the range many times. No need to have it in a locked case it, it just needs to be "unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported." NJ 2C:39-6 g IANAL, but in my opinion a clear ziploc bag would suffice as a securely tied package. However, I would recommend something opaque--no one needs to know.

dino71 7 Posted February 19, 2017 Is it alright to carry your hand gun(s) locked in a case and placed in a motorcycle top box along with your ammo? I'm assuming that that's OK? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leahcim 673 Posted February 19, 2017 My reading of our convoluted code says it is fine. Guns unloaded (magazines full but not in the guns), NO LOCKS REQUIRED. 2C:39-6 g. All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b., subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances. The only mention of locking is within the trunk of an automobile, and in that case the language uses an OR which means on or the other (or all) of the four options presented. Read the law and make your own choices, consult an attorney if you do not feel comfortable. I have done it on a bicycle many times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackandjill 683 Posted February 20, 2017 Is it alright to carry your hand gun(s) locked in a case and placed in a motorcycle top box along with your ammo? I'm assuming that that's OK? "..... gunbox......". I put mine in its original "gunbox", put it the backpack. Ammo in their own box, in the backpack and off I go on motorcycle to range. And I go directly to / from the range. No shopping trips around the town. Drive safe and enjoy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leahcim 673 Posted February 20, 2017 I would say that a backpack would qualify as a "closed and fastened case" or a "securely tied package." And nothing about separating the ammunition (I believe that may be part of FOPA though, for interstate travel).That being said, it is not a bad idea to err on the side of caution. In case you encounter an LEO that does not know the law (read Blue Tent Sky). While you may be in the right, it may cost you $10K-$20K to prove your innocence. Best strategy is to drive safe and not get pulled over. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
