Ok so the general consensus is that if I take the gun from NY to NJ to shoot it at NJ range (bullet hole) its perfectly legal as long its locked,enclosed in trunk,etc.. according to federal LAW (I DONT HAVE NJ FOID).
From http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/about/fire_trans.html:
New Jersey laws governing firearms permits, purchaser identification cards, registration and licenses do not apply to a person who is transporting the firearm through this State if that person is transporting the firearm in a manner permitted by federal law, 18 U.S.C.A. 926A.
However the NJ Penal Law contradicts the above:
P.L. 2013, c.113 (S2804)
c. Rifles and shotguns. (1) Any person who knowingly has in his possession any rifle or shotgun without having first obtained a firearms purchaser identification card in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.2C:58-3, is guilty of a crime of the third degree.
Seems that when you are transporting the gun, or at the range, you would be very much in possession as far as the NJ Law is concerned,and violating the above.
Can some of legal mind please try to reconcile the contradiction.
Thank you, Alex.
