Hi all,

My company recently moved to PA so now I trek out there almost everyday. I was thinking about getting my FL or Utah carry license to carry in PA. Are there any issues with transporting the gun in NJ out of state just to carry. In other words, If I get pulled over and for some reason I need to disclose the firearm. When asked where I am heading, if I say "To Pennsylvania" am I breaking NJ law?

Please use the search button. This has been discussed SO many times it'll make you puke.

 

Not trying to be a douche bag but it's better you search and then ask specific's. Alsom this has been discussed on the PA gun forums as well. A google search will help also.

It has been discussed a million times, and yet I have never seen a definitive answer that answers the question unequivocally one way or the other (AT LEAST TO MY SATISFACTION). YMMV

If your job moved to PA; you should move yourself to PA.

Did that once, my marriage fell apart. I'm not moving back to PA. However I will take advantage of their gun laws if I can until I find a job closer to home.

Theoretically, you are protected by FOPA, specifically Section 926A, which you can find http://www.cjrpc.com/interstate_2.htm at that link. In NY and NJ however, there have been more than a few problems at airports. Since you can "lawfully possess and carry" your firearm at home, it would appear you can legally drive to PA if you are legal there as well. Like it was said above, though, there are longer more in depth threads about this on the forum.

I agree. My marriage didn't fall apart but we spent 4 months in the Poconos waiting for our the builder to finish our NJ house and it was trying. More so because of our travel to work then anything else though.
