in NJ you have to get a pistol purchasing permit to buy even a muzzleloading pistol. as far as transporting a firearm of any type.

it has to be unloaded and secured in such a way that its not easily accessible to the driver and possibly passengers.

the D of F&W here in NJ considers a muzzleloader unloaded when in the case of a percussion cap/primer ignition the cap/primer removed,in the case of a flintlock the priming powder removed from the pan and a non metallic cover put on the frizzen. you can't hunt with pistol modern or muzzleloading in NJ. bt you can own and possess them. i don't have any muzzleloading pistols but i am very interested in getting atleast 1. i have a few rifles. and they are a hoot to shoot.
