    Default Carry pistol to NJ for range time?

    I'm looking to do some training in NJ, and was curious about the laws regarding carrying a pistol over the border from PA into NJ. I'd just be taking it to a range, then back into PA.
    I don't have a PA carry permit btw.
    Anyone have any insight for me? I tried to google this, but could only find information about carrying guns from NJ into PA.

    I believe you are limited to a magazine capacity of 15 rounds in NJ and the gun and ammo must be stored separately while transporting. (i.e. gun locked in the truck, ammo in the backseat)

    I'd double check that - unless some one knows definitively different.
    It is legal to cross interstate borders with a firearm as already noted. Whether it is legal for you to stop and use that firearm in a state where you are not a resident and have no permit, that is a different issue entirely. It can be done, legally, for registered pistol competitions. The gun owner is required to carry a copy of his registration at the event so as to produce it if necessary. Whether you can just drive into NJ and go to a range.....???

    PS - found this: "Under N.J.S. 2C:39-5, possession of ALL firearms is prohibited unless one has a NJ permit to carry a handgun or a NJ Firearm Purchaser ID card for long guns."
