Got a complex interstate travel question

[MischaBurns]

I had a buddy ask me an interesting question today, and i don't know the answer. this is the situation he gave:

you decide to go to the jersey shore to hang out at the beach for a day. you know that NJ doesn't honor our LTCF (as far as i know), but you will be home after dark, and don't feel comfortable arriving at this hour without your sidearm.

WHAT DO YOU DO!? we're wondering how to legally bring the handgun with you, since you are stopping in NJ and not just "passing through".

Please note that neither he nor I intend to carry while in NJ, but only want to have it with us when returning home (again, possibly quite late)

I wouldn't go into N.J.

I wouldn't go into N.J.

this is obviously an option, but we're trying to find one that allows the user to be in NJ

if you want to support regimes that trample the rights of those who live there, that's your choice

It is my understanding also that you cannot legally take it into Jersey, outside of being in a competition. You can take it, but if you are caught-look out.

Delaware, perhaps?

thanks, this is the sort of thing i was looking for.

Well... You could take your firearm with you, then, God forbid, if you need to use it on a bad guy the police can later arrest the bad guy and you.

I would not take it in Jersey period, ever.

About the only way you can legally take it into Jersey without merely "passing through" is if you were attending a competition.

Someone with more knowledge will chime in, but that's my understanding so far.

DO NOT DO IT !!!!!!!


You WILL BE ARRESTED if its discovered, even accidentaly. YOU WILL spend several days, if not longer, in jail waiting to make bail. And unless you are going to a competition in NJ you will most likely wind up convicted as a FELON, which bars you from possesion or ownership in PA !


A few minutes Googling the approriate terms will turn up several recent cases of PA residents that were discovered to be in possesion of a weapon in NJ WITHOUT a NJ FID Card and EVERY ONE OF THEM was arrested and charged !

I cant find it now, but I distinctly remember another case from last year of a guy from PA getting into a car accident in Jersey and the cops finding his pistol in the glove box or console after the wreck and him being arrested and charged.

Then theres this abomination, and this guy was CLEARLY covered by Fed FOPA and Jersey didnt give a shit !

DONT EVEN THINK OF bringing a gun into NJ unless your 1 Million percent sure your in compliance with NJ Law , and even then you better have your attorney on speed dial cause the patrol level guys will hook you and book you and let the judge sort it out every single time.

well, i think my question has been pretty much answered. i thank all who provided input. no gun in NJ. XP
