Hey guys, i'm looking for a answer to a question that I cant find. Today my father bought me a 12gauge Remington 870 for my 18th birthday. He obviously has his firearms permit (NJ) but I do not. I was wondering if it is legal for me to transport the gun to a friends house to shoot on private property or to a local shooting range? I cant find a answer to this so any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Transporting fathers firearm

I don't think that it is if your dad is not present - assuming you're in NJ as well. But I'm not an NJ resident. I travel into NJ for shooting matches.
I'd give the state police a call, or your local sheriff's office. From what I understand though, transport is treated as possession and so requires that the permit holder is in the vehicle. I'm not even that you can use it at a range w/o a permit holder present.

this would have been technically illegal in S.C. regardless of the posters age... yes, it was illegal for a person to shoot on someone else's private land. Of course no body even knew it, it was the way some stupid law was written.
I'm not an expert on N.J. law, but I suspect you can't.
