NJ A1220

Amends N.J.S.2C:39-6 to clarify what constitutes a "reasonably necessary deviation" when legally transporting a firearm or weapon in a motor vehicle in New Jersey

Currently, persons lawfully transporting firearms may only deviate from their travel route to the extent reasonably necessary, but the law does not define what qualifies as reasonably necessary

Specifies that reasonably necessary deviations include collecting and discharging passengers, purchasing fuel, food and beverages, medicine or other supplies, using a restroom, and contending with emergency situations

The list of permitted deviations is non-exhaustive, meaning other similar stops may also qualify as reasonably necessary

Takes effect immediately upon enactment
