In addition to a NYS FFL charging $250 for the NJ Class, then the NJ Fees of $200, as well as the IdentoGo fingerprinting fee of $66.50, this will bring the total for the "privilege" of lawful carry in NJ to over $500.

Thoughts, or just keep my stuff locked away in the trunk while traveling through this horrid state (as well as others to be sure).

Does having the NJ allow you to carry in another state you frequent? I've thought of getting a LTC in Mass. as that is where my sister lives. However, I don't travel there much and the initial fees and the $100 yearly renewal keeps me from doing that.

I'd rather drive two hours the opposite direction than travel anywhere near or through New Jersey...only place I detest as much or more than NY/NYC.

I normally drive a bit out of the way via NY-17/I-86, bypassing that state. Adds about 20 miles to my trips but lowers the anxiety just in case the truck breaks down and 'assistance' is dispatched.
