SCR 95 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress and President of US to enact legislation addressing interstate transportation of firearms or ammunition.

This concurrent resolution (SCR 95) urges Congress and the President to pass H.R.225, a proposed federal law. It seeks to amend the 1986 Firearm Owners' Protection Act (FOPA) to clarify that transporting legally owned firearms between states - while storing them unloaded and locked - remains protected during overnight stays, travel delays, or incidental stops like fueling or medical emergencies. The resolution highlights cases like Greg Revell’s 2005 detention in New Jersey (despite following federal guidelines) to argue that current law unjustly risks criminalizing law-abiding gun owners during unpredictable travel events. It does not create new law but requests federal action to close a perceived loophole in existing firearm transport protections.
