Ammo in car while traveling to NJ?
Ok, so I seem to be going to NJ a little now and most of the times I drive. I don't have a non-resident permit (nor do I think I have a chance of getting one) and hence cannot transport a gun. In the past I have gone completely anal removing every thing gun related from my car - range bag, ammo cans. I couldn't figure out if there was a law regarding ammo possession in NJ - if I am not wrong in MA you cannot possess ammo w/o a license at least for a resident and NJ in many instances seems worse than MA. If ammo is ok, does it depend on the type, e.g. is hollow point ok?
Thanks!

Ammo should be okay. Hollow points are illegal outside of the home in NJ. If you don't have any guns, might as well just remove the ammo, too...

I thought HPs were a no-go for self defense in NJ. Never heard of them being banned or only legal in the home.

I don't think NJ regulates ammo possession but frankly I wouldn't have anything "gun related" in my car in NJ unless I was just transiting the state to get to free america.

I wouldn't drive through NJ with even just a picture of a gun or ammo in my car

HPs in NJ have use restrictions; they are not illegal.

Thanks guys. Guess it's back to cleaning out the car prior to every trip. On the flip side it causes me to celebrate my return with a little range time!
