So, I recently got my Utah CCP and have a question. I know that when driving inside NJ I need to have the gun of my person, but can I legally leave the spare mag on me? Or am I just inviting an over zealous cop to give me a hard time?

"off" my person?

 

Mags are not firearms, but it gives the Popo PC to search.

 

Sent from an undisclosed location.

 

 

I don't know about overzealous.... Sounds reasonable to assume that if you are carrying ammo in a mag you are carrying a gun...

 

What ammo do you have in the mag?

 

Why do you want to carry ammo with no gun?

As in not on me. I know I can't have the gun on me but can I leave the IWB holster on?

What ammo do you have in the mag? Non defensive ammo

 

Why do you want to carry ammo with no gun?

it's more a hypothetical. Say I forgot to take the mag out the carrier?

If it were me prior to returning to nj..id secure both for transport.... If you're carrying hp ammo ..do you want to risk your future on the will off the contacting officer? .....the exemptions for hp possession is pretty cut and dry... That isn't one...

Not illegal to carry a mag on you. But be prepared for a little investigation as to why you have it on you.

 

If you are carrying HP ammo be prepared to deal with that as well.

 

My advice, don't forget to take it off. A complacent mindset is a detriment when carrying a firearm.

A guilty mindset is worse.

In cases I've seen where people have said "I forgot I had it on me"...I find that hard to believe ...20+yrs daily and I still know I'm carrying....seems either like an after the fact excuse for breaking a law or even scarier they are really that oblivious ....which makes me question whether they should be carrying in the first place ...might "forget" they took it off while taking a dump and walk away from it....jus sayin...lol

?

just put it away and curse the NJ sign when you see it

Sure you can. It's just leather and maybe kydex.
