Carrying a weapon in a side box across state lines into say NJ, if they find it during a search you are in so much crap is it worth it? The last I heard was a guy from TX in his car forgot about his pistol in the trunk, in a locked box. NJ troopers found it and took him to jail and he was charged with some interstate weapon smuggling crime and that gets 10 years. Can't remember what happened, maybe someone can.
While I see your point, just not having it on your person does not save you.

This is false. You can legally transport a properly licensed firearm through out the united states. -
Now, if one's destination IS within the prohibited state, they are then subject to that state's laws.w.h.o, Mudguppy and spyder7723 Thank this. -
Exactly what mack said. 100 percent accurate.
flood Thanks this. -
If what you said is true, why are you hiding it in your side box?
States like CA & NJ don't give a rip about fed law. -
I didn't say that event did not happen, my comment was directed at your cross state lines statement. Like mack said, I can pass through jersey, i can even stop for food, fuel, and rest. Jersey can not be my destination to load or deliver.
Edit to add: if you do some research on that case against the guy from Texas you will find there is a lot more to the story than simply crossing state lines.
If you are going to carry, or is YOUR responsibility to research the transport laws in each state you week be traveling through. Do your due diligence and you will be fine. Bad things happen to those that don't put in the effort.Last edited: Feb 11, 2016
