Gun lock in trunk?

Recommended Posts

Hello all, so looking over the NJ transportation laws and was wondering if it would be legal to put in an electronic gun lock in my trunk and put a firearm in it (unloaded and what not) and transport it.
I drive a retired CVPI so I have a BigSky ELS270 I took off from the cage when I stripped my car out and didn't want to throw it away because its money and thought of mounting it inside my trunk and having a secure way of locking an AR in my trunk.  As most of you LEOs know it would be activated by a timed switch located upfront.
Would that be NJ legal or does it need to be cased?
Just kinda wanted to use something I had left and also add another bit of security when transporting a firearm in case someone gets into my trunk.

Someone as in a trying to steal or someone as in LEO ?  

 

If I understand this correctly, you want to go beyond whats required by law. Why would that be NOT legal ?

More like prevent someone from stealing it, not worried about LEOs.  And I never know with NJ what may suddenly become illegal

 

Did you get the CVPI cheap?

Yes very, very cheap.  2009 with 80k miles on, did have around 7400 idle hrs on it but no mechanical issues.  Needed new tires which I was able to swap with some brand new tires we had around for cheap as well.  Runs good and drives fine.  Gonna keep it until I manage to blow it up somehow.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
