What is required to transport a firearm through New Jersey?

  1. The firearm must be unloaded and locked in the trunk

  2. A special transportation permit

  3. An armed escort

  4. No special requirements

The correct answer is: The firearm must be unloaded and locked in the trunk

To transport a firearm through New Jersey, it is necessary for the firearm to be unloaded and securely stored in a locked container, such as the trunk of a vehicle. This requirement is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance with state laws designed to prevent accidental discharges and unauthorized access to firearms during transport. Transporting a firearm in this manner not only helps to comply with New Jersey state laws but also minimizes risks associated with firearm handling while traveling. Other options such as a special transportation permit or needing an armed escort are not necessary under New Jersey's current regulations, and there are indeed specific legal compliance requirements that must be adhered to, rather than a laissez-faire approach suggested by the idea of having no special requirements.
