transportation question

[jon'76]

Ok So I will officially be eligible to purchase a firearm next week once I get my PA license, and I have 3 questions. I'm in Philly if it matters.

1.) Once I purchase the firearm can I carry it (in a case or something) on a street when getting it home? ANSWER: YES!

2.) Can I carry it on SEPTA to get it to my house? ANSWER: YES!

3.) Since I'm going to store it in NJ can I shoot at NJ ranges legally? ANSWER: YES!

EDIT: When I say firearm I mean rifle/shotgun, not the legal definition of firearm.

#1 Yes.

#2, not sure, but I would venture yes. However read over SEPTA's rules. I believe they are a privately run company, similar to PATransit here in Allegheny County.

#3, again, not an expert, but most likely Yes. (Someone with knowledge of NJ law will have to speak up there...)

PA Driver's license sorry 'bout that.

I just called SEPTA and it is allowed so long as the gun and ammo are separate and they prefer the case not be obvious but that's not a requirement.

I just need an answer to #3 now.

Thanks for all the help guys.

I called the local (to my family) NJPD and asked #3. After being transfered 4 times I was told to call the State Police. After I called them I was told that it was perfectly legal so long as I followed all transportation laws.

So it's legal to shoot your firearms that you legally own in PA in NJ .

To revive an old thread of mine.

Shooting a gun at a NJ range is legal so long as it is private.

If public it is legal if you have a hunting license or are accompanied by someone with a hunting license.
