Hi All,

 

Did a search, didn't find anything - so I wanted to ask:

 

I have a sport-touring bike. It has two hard, lockable sidecases. Is it legal to put a handgun (inside its own case as well) and ammo in the other sidecase and head to the range? If not - no big deal, I just rarely use the car in summer anymore due to gas prices in the last few years. Any input is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

legal.....

 

You can even have the gun and ammo in the same side case.... just different compartments of range bag.

Search on this site sucks. Recommend that you instead google with "site:njgunforums.com" before your search terms like so:

Take your rifle.

 

For those riding and want to transport their rifle.

Was that photo taken in NJ?

Say it ain't so. I want a motorcycle now. Can't use the HOV lane though. LOL!!!

Its legal as long as its unloaded and you have an fid I believe.

 

Not saying its a great idea....

LOL, I love that photo and have no idea where it originated. I could only imagine riding down the PKWY like that guy, hahaha.

What if your motorcycle has no storage compartments? would a backpack be ok?

Actually you can

There's no way you can make it 5 miles in NJ before you're face-down on the ground with arms and legs spread.

Take your rifle.

 

Hmmm... wonder if RTSP will allow me to roll it inside into a lane:

 

Is that a law rocket on the front? Lol

That is a very interesting question. I was thinking about almost the same thing yesterday as I drove up to the range with my windows open and the temp was 82 degrees. I was wondering what if I did not have a car or did not want to drive. Can I ride my bike to the range carrying my gun in a locked container? What about if I just wanted to walk? Would it be considered illegal carry or can you walk with the gun in a locked box. That raises another interesting question, if you buy a gun at a store that does not have off street parking you might have to walk several blocks to get to your car. What is the law regarding that?

Walked from Caso's in Bayonne all the time to my car with the gun I just purchased..... Car was sometime over a block away.

I do it all the time. I also do long guns sometimes, bag locked, cabled locked to my grab rails. Ammo in the side cases.

What if your motorcycle has no storage compartments? would a backpack be ok?

 

Yep, as long as gun and ammo in seperate compartments or bags. I would put a cable lock on the bag.
