Driving from Texas to New Jersey next week. What do I do with my gun?

[bbrwbmw]

Unfortunately this is a road trip I can't avoid...

Should I just leave my gun back home in Texas?

Look up the gun laws in each state you'll be going though. Follow each and you'll have no problems. If you have Carry permit aka LTC check where it's valid.

Watch your ammo also when in NJ. If I am not mistaken they restrict some ammo types (HP's?).

If you must travel to NJ, take your gun with you. Just before you enter NJ, stop at a bank and rent a safe deposit box. Place your gun and ammo in the box. When you leave NJ, stop and retrieve your gun and ammo.

Take your gun and keep it close but hidden.

Somewhere in the N.E. you will be pulled over for having Texas plates.

Here is a quick look at their gun laws. Looks pretty risky. Also note that they have a 10 round limit on Magazines. In addition to that it would be almost impossible for you to legally carry or have in your vehicle there.

Here is the section that addresses vehicle carry.

Yes, with a NJ PCH with the appropriate stipulations only.

Without a legal purpose, no person may transport firearms in the State of New Jersey. Legal purposes include:

• Taking a newly purchased firearm home from the dealer.
• Taking a broken firearm to the gunsmith.
• Traveling to and returning from a gun range.
• Moving to a legal place to engage in hunting or trapping.

Without a NJ PCH, all firearms must be transported in a securely fastened case, unloaded, and separate from the ammunition. If transporting a gun in a car, it should not be accessible from the passenger compartment. If the gun must be carried in the passenger compartment, it MUST be in a locked container. It is illegal to carry a pistol or ammunition in the glovebox, even a locked one.

Leave it in Texas,
Or buy a cheap gun to take with you and hope for the best.

The price of the gun won't help if you get arrested.

I’d leave it home

 

[oldag]

I'd call in sick and not go to NJ.

 

[Lonesome Dove]

Stop before the NJ border and hide it in the woods. Pick it up when heading home. Hmmmmm

I would not walk out the door to see Chris Christie much less go to N.J.

I'd be very careful about traveling through more stats the just New Jerksy. Illinois would be another state you better watch you ass in. They see out of state plate & if your have a nice ride they figure your muling dope. Large amounts of cash too.

That's the reason I don't plan on going anywhere outside the Texas border.
