1. Google maps. Your location + Gun Ranges near <address>

 

2. You should be OK if you keep it in like your trunk, locked up, with the ammo in a separate container.

 

3. I don't think so. But the laws on Handgun ammunition are weird here to begin so someone with more in-depth knowledge could help you there.

 

Other than that, have fun and enjoy your trip to free America!

1. Don't know.

2. You need to follow both NJ and PA laws on transport. Lock it in the trunk unloaded, ammo separate.

3. No.

 

Just a word of note. Transport of a handgun to a range is an exempted activity. Transport to a place where you work, is not. If somehow a NJ police officer found firearms in your vehicle, what you say next could be important. Saying "Yes officer, we're going to work, then afterwards going to a range" is not OK in NJ. Saying "We're headed to a range in Easton PA" is OK in NJ. Neither matter in PA. The Firearms Owner Protection Act may provide an affirmative defense inside of NJ, but you never want to get there.

if you gonna do this on a regular basis, i suggest getting a FL, UT etc CCW permit. PA is FREEDOM compared to NJ!

Isn't it supposed to be an "official" range or something? I forget the law because I haven't read it lately. I know enough to know that I would either be illegal or at peril in NJ.

Two part answer.

 

part 1

)A member of any rifle or pistol club organized in accordance with the rules prescribed by the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, in going to or from a place of target practice, carrying such firearms as are necessary for said target practice, provided that the club has filed a copy of its charter with the superintendent and annually submits a list of its members to the superintendent and provided further that the firearms are carried in the manner specified in subsection

 

 

This means, if you are a member of a rifle or pistol club, you can go to or from a place of target practice as long as the club is on charter. Interesting that is says "Carrying".

 

Part 2

Directly to or from any target range, or other authorized place for the purpose of practice, match, target, trap or skeet shooting exhibitions, provided in all cases that during the course of the travel all firearms are carried in the manner specified in subsection

 

As long as you are going to a target range or other authorized place AND you have the firearms stored properly, you are fine.

 

 

Sorry read something wrong there.

Keep in mind that without a PA or other reciprical firearms license there are similar restrictions in PA concerning where you can transport your firearm.

License to carry from any state, whether PA recognizes it or not, makes you legal to carry in a vehicle in PA. No reciprocity necessary.

 

But not to conceal or any of the other stuff, so it's messy and you need to look into it. Then again, I can't think of anybody from NJ that would possibly have a license to carry that is not recognized by PA anyway. That would be some obscure license for a non-resident to pursue.

 

Oh, wait, I thought of one that a person in NJ might have that is not recognized by PA. An NJ carry permit. LOL.
