Being retired military I have had CC permits in many states and currently hold a valid permit from AR. While planning a trip to NJ, yes, NJ :-( to visit my Sister I contacted the State Police in Trenton before hand to ensure I was in compliance with all NJ laws. Here is what I was told to do. First, my AR permit was not valid in NJ.

Before crossing the border from PA to NJ I had to:

Pull over.

Disassemble (field strip) my SIG229 and place the disassembled pistol parts in a locked container.

Place all magazines and ammo in a separate container and place in an area of my vehicle that was not in the passenger compartment. Upon arriving at my Sister's home I could reassemble the pistol retrieve the ammo and load the firearm for personal protection. I would be legal as long as I stayed on my Sister's property. The reverse would happen upon leaving the State and returning to AR. All states along my route had reciprocity with AR. The NJ State Police web site has this information.

The purpose of this post is not in anyway indicate I approve of this ridiculous NJ law. I could have ended up in the same situation as the unfortunate lady except my Sister, knowing that I carry everywhere, advised me to be very careful.

They mention anything about ammo? Specifically hollow points? Pretty sure NJ “disapproves” of such and it can get you in a lot of trouble if you get the wrong set of circumstances.

In NJ, they are legal, sort of....You can buy them and keep them at your home and you can transport them from the place of purchase, to your home or to the range (who besides the federal government really shoots premium ammo at the range?) Methinks a out of stater, transporting hollow points, even if separate in accordance with the transport laws, would slip through the cracks and be charged. Just my 2 cents.
