ACR 148 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This New Jersey concurrent resolution urges the U.S. Congress and President to pass federal legislation, specifically H.R.225, that would strengthen protections for individuals transporting firearms across state lines. The proposed law would amend the Firearm Owners' Protection Act of 1986 to clarify that transporting a firearm includes temporary stops such as overnight lodging, medical emergencies, or fuel stops while traveling. The bill directly affects law-abiding gun owners who currently risk criminal charges in states with strict gun laws if their travel plans are disrupted by events like missed flights. By broadening the legal definition of transport, the legislation aims to prevent the imprisonment of citizens who store their unloaded firearms in locked containers during interstate travel.
