Agreed.

Thank you. I am well aware of the law as I've read it in detail and the reasoning behind it is painfully obvious to all but the most obtuse so your well meaning and detailed explanation is unfortunately wasted. My point is we regularly go above and beyond what a law clearly states in the attempt to insure against some scenario that have no basis in fact,law or past history.

We're in a battle to prevent a litany of nonsensical laws right now so why is it we take such pains to abide by one that are not even on the books?

 

Because as I pointed out I do believe there is a law on the books as vague and open to interpretation as it is. I believe I am exercising caution in my interpretation for as long as the law exists on the books. That is my right, remember individual rights? Did I ever state that I believe or support this law? No I did not. Do I not work hard at doing my part to change the laws? I do. As painless as it is to put a trigger lock on my firearm I don't believe changes to firearms laws will ever be painless enough for some unless there simply are no laws. Good luck with that.

 

We can agree that this thread should have been closed. I will do my part.

. I do hope as a FFL you are not in the habit of preaching your interpretation of what you have already admitted to being a unfounded and unproven stipulation to a firearms transportation law? That Sir would be doing your clients a disservice.

If the OP didn't run for the hills yet, the answer is still the same. Yes, it is perfectly legal to transport your **magazines**loaded.

And as long they are not loaded with **hollow points** ammo, there's no restrictions to where/when they can be transported.

 

 

Further reading of transportation laws, it is **my opinion** that putting your pistol in a pantyhose, tying a knot at the end and tossing it in the locked trunk of your car it is perfectly legal, too. But you may not want to do that.

No need to lock it in the trunk if it is knotted in the pantyhose.

See, it's even less complicated than I thought.

Essentially the law was intended to stop the knee jerk violent reaction one might have when confronted with a motor vehicle situation.

 

for what its worth.. this is why the firearm must be unloaded..

How do you knot the trunk in pantyhose?

In 30 plus years in this game I have had over a 1000 students tell me that the local PD told them that hollow points are 100% illegal in NJ. I can recite the 2c code by heart that says otherwise and I then put it in plain english for my students as well. Ever notice whenever you read any criminal article in the news in NJ the press ALWAYS adds that they had hollow points in the house, gun, car, etc, etc?

 

I was at a meeting at a range in PA and was being asked all kinds of questions about what was legal/illegal in NJ by PA shooters. They were curious to confirm their understanding and full magazine carry and hollowpoint legality came up. Even an NRA instructor that was there got it wrong about NJ & hollowpoints. Glad I had an opportunity to set the record straight.
