That is the catch. You can't lawfully possess a hand gun in NJ unless you jump through their hoops and get the necessary NJ documents. It's a fair bet that he would be arrested and charged upon taking possession of his handgun containing luggage after arrival.
I would do anything to not fly into NJ or NY now. If going to PA it would be better to go through Avoca (Scranton/WB) or Philly and hope you don't get weather diverted to Newark, Trenton, or Binghamton.


Edit: By the way don't take any hollow point ammo into NJ. As I understand it, each round carrys it's own felony charge for possession.

That being said, what I've read so far seems to indicate that if I have it locked and unaccessible while in NJ with the exception of the check in procedure I should be ok. The issue 'seems' to be taking possession of a gun in NJ with out one of their silly gun ownership permits.

New Jersey's interpretation is the gun is accessible to you while you are removing the luggage from the car and bringing it into the airport.
