I know that when I transport my handgun in NJ it has to be to and from the range using the most direct route. I just got a shotgun do I have to follow those exact rules for long guns or is it ok to stop at a few places before I go hunting or clay shooting.

As long as you have an FPID and the gun and ammo are stowed properly, you are not confined to the exemptions you would be were it a handgun.

Thanks!

FYI - NJ law does not require you to take the most direct route, rather, it says you must travel directly to and from the range with only "reasonable" deviations necessary under the circumstances. What stops are considered "reasonable" is open to vast interpretation, but the law does not prevent you from taking a longer scenic route to the range if you're not making any stops.
