Good luck getting a different answer out of NJSP. If you do, be sure you've got it in writing and signed. Such a signed letter will be very helpful to your defense.

I'm not sure I can be any clearer... I WOULD NEVER EVEN CONSIDER checking my firearm if my plan required picking up the bag in New Jersey.

Picking up the bag should not be a problem. The problem will be checking it at the airline for the return trip when they call the port authority. I would ship it to myself via UPS or Fedx.

The issue 'seems' to be taking possession of a gun in NJ with out one of their silly gun ownership permits.[/quote]
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.[/quote]

The Port Authority interpretation of U.S. Code › Title 18 › Part I › Chapter 44 › § 926A

Is that checking the gun for a flight is not covered.[/quote]



I would never go through NJ to get to PA. I would never willing go to NJ or NYC for any reason.
