Ok, so you passed your NRA firearms safety training class and recieved your FID card and a few pistol permits. Now you own a brand new (or used) firearm(s) and would like to go to your favorite local range for some target practice. Now the infamous question pops up, "So how does one legally transport a firearm to and from the range?".
N.J.S. 2C:39-6(g)
"All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b.,So keep your firearm unloaded and in a securely tied package and store the ammo separately (i.e.: firearms in a tied box stored in a locked trunk, and ammo in the back seat stored in a closed ammo box). Any additional precautions like adding a trigger lock or lockable gun case or dismantling your firearm is totally voluntary. And remember you are only allowed to deviate in your course of travel as reasonably necessary under the circumstances. In other words, don't pack your firearms in your car on Monday for a trip to the range on Wednesday.
subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be
carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox,
securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it
is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such
deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances."
