OK, so it's legal to carry an unloaded long gun anywhere in your car, and ammo as well, provided the two are separate, the ammo is not hollow point, and you have a FID card.

 

Sounds like fun. But what are you legally permitted to do with said gun? For example a .22 caliber rifle, an SKS, or a shotgun.

 

What are the limits and allowances? I know you can't stop to shoot at birds perched on telephone poles. 

 

What can you do though??

Be ready for the zombie invasion.

Its the poor man's (aka NJ native) version of ccw? Thats all I got...

Go hunting with a legal weapon at a moment's notice providing you have a hunting license...

I don't think it is legal to bring a long gun on school property, etc.  You had better know the laws in and out before  you attempt it.  And, even so, you might have to prove it's not a handgun, sling shot, or fully auto M60 if discovered.

I don't believe there is a state law banning weapons on school property. I think it's up to the schools discretion (allowing or not). But that might be only for LEOs though. 

Even LEOs have to get permission from the School District before they can have them on school property.  If you get caught with a shotgun, say you were picking up the children after hunting, and had it with you when you went on School Property, it would be a mandatory jail sentence if discovered.

i always say if your not going to shooting range or going to hunt, Then whats the point>>>>???

Im pretty sure it is the reverse. Guns are banned from school property, without the permission of the school

School Zone laws are Federal. With that said, some states also place laws on top of the Fed Laws.

In your trunk in a locked case, unloaded....should not be a problem in free states.

 

The Gun Free School Zones Act of 1990 (18 U.S.C. § 922(q)) states:

(A) It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.

(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm—

(i) on private property not part of school grounds;

(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;

(iii) that is— (I) not loaded; and (II) in a locked container, or a locked firearms rack that is on a motor vehicle;

Yup.

 

Put another way, you might stay alive long enough to deal with the law later.

You're saying all this time I could of had a "truck gun"?

locked?  who locks their gun cases?

we all do.

Yup.

Agreed. That's my thinking when I have one.

Or in this case, a "trunk" gun.

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!

Are we saying my Keltec Sub2000 can go under my front seat and the magazine in the map compartment of the drivers door? With a little practice I could have the weapon in service in under 5 seconds... That seems like a trip in front of the Judge regardless of the laws...

locked? who locks their gun cases?

I do. I don't have a trunk (pickup) so my understanding is the case needs to be locked. Even if not, I figure it's no biggie to me.

I believe that a gun sock with a pull strong would suffice. It does during hunting season.

You may as long as it is unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, or securely tied package.

Not necessary if you have a FPID.

g.All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b., subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances.

Not necessary if you have a FPID.

I forget where it states that....

The transport rules apply if one does not have a FPID. If one has a FPID (not necessarily in possession), one can carry it in any manner, in theory that is.

Sounds awesome but I'm still a little wary of throwing the Mossberg in the back of the jeep.
