Can a non-resident transport a firearm through New Jersey?

Yes, without restrictions
No, under no circumstances
Yes, if the firearm is unloaded and locked
Yes, but only with a permit

The correct answer is: Yes, if the firearm is unloaded and locked

The answer is correct because non-residents are allowed to transport firearms through New Jersey as long as certain conditions are met. Specifically, the firearm must be unloaded and locked in a secure container, such as a hard case. This requirement is part of New Jersey's regulations regarding the transportation of firearms to ensure safety and compliance with state laws. While there are strict rules governing firearm possession and carry within the state, the provision for non-residents recognizes that they may need to pass through New Jersey while traveling to other jurisdictions where they may be legally carrying firearms. It is essential for non-residents to also be aware of and comply with the firearm laws of their home state as well as those of the destination state to avoid legal complications.
