Introduced Text

New Jersey A2960 amends firearm transportation law to allow reasonable deviations from course for lawful purposes.

New Jersey A2960 amends current law to replace the “reasonably necessary” standard with a less stringent reasonableness standard which allows persons lawfully transporting a firearm to deviate from their course of travel for a common, brief, and lawful purpose associated with reaching a statutorily permitted destination. The bill provides that reasonable deviations may include, but are not limited to, collecting and discharging passengers; obtaining supplies, medication, food or other provisions; and using a restroom prior to reaching a destination permitted pursuant to this subsection.
