Hi all, I've reviewed NJ's firearms laws and I am confused. I am visiting from Michigan in August and wanted to see if I could bring my pistol.
We're driving from MI to NJ to visit family in NYC. We'll be camping and such along the way to and/or from (in PA most likely) as well as making a stop in OH. So I'd like to have my pistol for the 3 other states where I’M ALLOWED to have it the other 6-7 days ...
I have a concealed pistol license in MI and understand that I will NOT be able to carry in NJ BUT from reading the NJ laws I thought I would at least be able to have it in the hotel at night. I don't plan on having it driving around except coming in and going home. I know some won’t agree with the leaving it in the hotel, but the places we stay usually have an in room safe AND I can disassemble and lock the frame to something with a cable.
I’ve since learned that will not be the case as I am not a NJ resident AND don’t have/can’t get your version of Illinois FOID card. Not to mention NJ’s draconian transport laws. As a former New York City resident, they have it marginally better but are still light years behind others.
Can anyone straighten me out and show me to the pertinent regulations?
Yes or no.
Can I legally transport my pistol into NJ and keep it in my room for the 3-4 days I’ll be there?
Thanks
