My democrat friend (I know oxymoron) insists that guns must be stored unloaded in a gun safe in NEW JERSEY (I know it does suck to live here)
Somebody please provide legal documentation stating otherwise to help me win this argument. He owes me a free expensinve dinner when I prove him wrong (hopefully he won't want to come along) Thanks in advance. |

New Jersey Revised Statutes § 2C:58-15a states that “[a] person who knows or reasonably should know that a minor [under 16 years of age] is likely to gain access to a loaded firearm at a premises under the person’s control” is criminally liable for a misdemeanor if a minor gains access to a firearm, unless the person:
Stores the firearm in a securely locked box or container; Stores the firearm in a location which a reasonable person would believe to be secure; or Secures the firearm with a trigger lock. This section does not apply to activities concerning the lawful use of a firearm by a minor, or where a minor obtained a firearm as a result of an unlawful entry by any person. Section 2C:58-15b. ETA: I couldn't find anything in my 3 minutes of searching that states that the gun has to be stored in a safe if there are no minors present. But I only looked at the codes in the vicinity of this one. |

Go to the first title of the chapter you want, click on the cross to the left of it, and it will open up all the chapters. |

You can not disprove that which is not in existance. |
