Thanks all. Yes I will be in a hotel which in most states affords you the same legal protection as being in your own home, although I don’t know for certain that NJ isn’t different. I will reach out to the DA and see what they suggest. Appreciate it.

I hear you but I’d rather not fly into JFK which is the other option.

It’s not ideal. I have to be in Manhattan for a few days so figured being based in NJ nearby would be the best option.

Hi, I’m planning to head over to the US from Europe later this year to compete in a PRS match. I have all my necessary DOJ / ATF import permits to allow me to bring my bolt action rifle into the United States. I plan on flying into and out of Newark and would like to understand if it would be a problem for me to stay in the NJ state for 3-days before I travel to another state for the match ? For example, I know a person entering NYC without a locally issued firearm permit can only do so with a rifle for 24-hours and wondered if NJ has anything similar ? I will keep the rifle in a locked hard case unloaded etc and I plan on bringing 10 round magazines. Is there anything you think that I should be aware of or any laws you would point me towards ? I’ve flown in / out of the US many times with my rifle so am familiar with the international side but I’ve never been through NJ and wanted to understand if there are any areas NJ specific laws that I should be aware of ? Thanks
