A 203 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies definition of reasonably necessary deviation when legally transporting firearm or weapon in motor vehicle.

This bill clarifies what constitutes a "reasonably necessary deviation" when legally transporting a firearm or weapon in a motor vehicle. It specifies that such deviations may include collecting or discharging passengers, purchasing fuel or supplies, using restrooms, or handling emergencies. The bill amends existing law to provide concrete examples of permissible stops during firearm transport, making the rules clearer for both law enforcement and firearm carriers. It applies to anyone legally transporting firearms or weapons in their vehicle, ensuring they understand what stops are permitted during transit. This clarification doesn't change who can transport firearms but provides specific guidance on acceptable stops while traveling.
