Bergen County Firearm Defense Attorney Adam M. Lustberg Explains FOPA Protections for Travelers Transporting Firearms Through New Jersey
- Interstate travelers carrying legally owned firearms through New Jersey must meet strict federal conditions of the Firearm Owners Protection Act to avoid serious weapons charges.
- The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 includes a 'safe passage' provision that allows transporting an unloaded firearm through any state if specific federal conditions are met.
- Travelers must lawfully possess and carry the firearm at both the start and end points, and the firearm and ammunition cannot be readily accessible in the passenger compartment.
- Each FOPA requirement must be strictly followed, and it provides an affirmative defense but does not prevent initial charges or arrest by law enforcement.
