Gun to vacation house in NJ?

[Youngbill]

What would you do? We own a vacation house at a beach town in New Jersey. I take the family down on most weekends in the summer and some during the winter. I usually pack a gun in my bag to keep at the house for protection. I don't carry it when going out around town. I know how strict NJ gun laws are but god forbid something happen and I need to protect my family. Would you take it to keep it in the house or leave it at home?

Thanks,
Bill

I'd sell it and find a vacation house in a gun friendly state, and I'm serious.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad area, really nice actually and hardly any crime. Just feel better knowing I have protection.

Ask your self is it worth it If your caught with an illegal gun? Sell the place go some place safe that is gun friendly. I recommend WISCONSIN.

I'm sure this family thought the same thing, much safer than any town in Jersey

It's not that big a deal if you check the laws and follow them. I eastern Pa a lot of guys cross the river into Phillipsburg to use and train at the range

You own a home, you transport two and from properly and the firearm is legal, legal mag capacity and ammo.

I asked this question on this forum years ago. And I came to the conclusion I could NOT bring a handgun into New Jersey. As far as I can tell, there is no legal way to transport the gun from PA to NJ. I don't believe your NJ home is considered a residence. From my research the only gun I could take was a long gun AFTER I had obtained a a firearm purchasers ID card. Sorry it's late and I'm on my phone, but I would NOT take a handgun into NJ without speaking to a lawyer well versed in NJ firearm law.
