By last count the "The loaded magazine" question comes up every 60 days.

I like to shoot when I visit the range not load so I had a small bet with a long time RO who admonished me for having all my mags loaded when I got to the range.. I won after he confirmed the legality from 2 state troopers and I still have Phil's 5 dollar bill in my bag which I love to tease him with every once in awhile.

Folks....read the laws and grow a pair.

i want to know why so many people think you always need a lawyer to go to court. provided its in a fastened case as per the law; print out a copy of the law, get fancy with a highlighter, ask to approach the bench, hand it to the judge. boom case closed you win. sure its an inconvenience but you have done no wrong.

 

Valid point, there are many things that you can do, but it also depends on the penalty of if you loose that has to be taken into account. I know, the above about loaded mags is is legal by letter of the law, well yes you can, but if your in a position of needing to defend yourself about that, I would also think something else came up that caused the search in the first place. Can't say I would suggest defending yourself in that situation, I feel each case would need to be taken on the totality of the charges as well as punishment possibilities. Just playing devils advocate here.

Like i said if you are following all the laws and get pulled over to or from a range and the cop sees your range bag in the back seat and decides to search you. Then you should be able to beat anything they throw at you.

If you consent to the search, it's a legal search.

 

Handguns are illegal in your vehicle in NJ unless you meet an exemption. A black bag in view marked GLOCK or MIDWAY or 5.11 would lead the police to believe you might have a gun in your possession and might be probable cause for a search and further investigation to verify you have a valid exemption for transport.
