New Jersey law states, in a vehicle that doesn't have a trunk, like a SUV, you must have either the guns or ammo in a locked case. Either or, not both. I have an old tool box, that I put the ammo in, and put a padlock on it .

I have 4 vehicles, only 2 have a "trunk" (actually, under seat storage. They're motorcycles).

 

I've never tried to transport to the range via a motorcycle. That probably deserves its own thread.

 

Anyway, when I transport to the range in a car, all firearms go in a lockable hard rifle case completely unloaded, without magazines, slides or bolt locked open and trigger locks on. Case gets locked.

 

Ammo goes in an ammo can.

All the time on my Goldwing.

Cool!

 

As I have sportbikes, there's not enough room for a locking case + ammo, and I'm afraid carrying in a backpack would count as carrying concealed.

I own a 2006 R6, I can't even get a few bullets in a zip-lock baggie under the seat.

My Dillon Pistol Bag fits perfectly into the truck. The biggest problem is that our parking lot is dusty so when I leave the big is covered in a layer of the stuff.

Common sense works quite well in these areas. You can read way too much into these statutes and everyone will have a different take.

 

Common sense will do you no good behind bars if the LEO thinks the law should be interpreted differently.

 

I was looking for an 'ammo case' to take to the range, and I recalled that my mom had an old Samsonite makeup case, complete with combination lock. So I was thinking about asking her if she still used it (despite the fact that it's powder blue). Well, I stopped at a garage sale about 2 wks ago and sure enough, there's the Samsonite cosmetic case I'm looking for, but in brown/tan (a little more manly than powder blue). $0.50 later, I'm on my way... Now I just need to figure out how to re-perfume it with Hoppe's #9 instead of Chanel #5

 

Put some gun oil on a patch and leave it in there. If it's leather wipe it down with leather conditioner and throw in a reel/gun silicon cloth(love that smell) for increased manliness.

 

For the transporting issue: Go get a cheapo shotgun shell plastic carrying case with a hole for a lock. Pick up a 4 pack of master locks with the same key(so you can put it on your car/bike keys). Lock up the ammo and the guns (if they have a lock hole). Keep them in the trunk. Print out N.J.S. 2C:39-6(g) so that the officer can read it (I'm going to assume he/she does not know it), and continue on your merry law abiding liberty infringed because you live in a "Gestapo controlled state" way. :evil:

You think that a cop who is thinking about arresting you is going to take time to read something you printed out? He is just going to arrest you and let the judge figure it out. Besides, aren't all police officers required to carry in the car, a book with the criminal justice codes in it?
