OP has not been back.

Maryland isn't on that list. Joysey is the only state that I'm aware of. I like Lehigh's anyway.

There are many internet sites discussion the issue. I should not have provided that bogus link without explaining his claims. He claims there are some jurisdictions in Texas for example where there are local restrictions. Totally bizarre, sorry for the confusion I caused.

Every state speaks to ammo types and most ban whatever their definition of armor piercing ammo might be.

I agree that New Jersey is the only statewide restriction on hollow point ammo, that does not mean it cannot be restricted city by city.

The NRA is the best source of such information. Here is an article on the guy in Jersey caught with critical duty ammo in his service gun, he was a security officer.

N.J.S.A. 2C:39-3states,

Any person, other than a law enforcement officer or persons engaged in activities pursuant to subsection f. of N.J.S.2C:39-6, who knowingly has in his possession any hollow nose or dum-dum bullet… is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.

New Jersey is the only state that prohibits hollow-point self-defense ammunition. NRA-ILA | Licensed Security Guard Arrested Under New Jersey’s Self-Defense Ammunition Ban (nraila.org)

The problem lies in the fact that Albuquerque for example did that one month ban on carrying guns. You never know what some city law may be passed that you might be driving through.


That poor guy lost his job, although he beat the criminal charge because critical duty ammo is not "hollow" in the point. Needless legal BS>

""""Understanding that Hornady Critical Defense did not meet the definition of “hollow nose” ammunition under N.J.S.A. 2C:39-3, the New Jersey State Police issued the following guidance on their Firearm FAQS website.

I’m not a police officer, are hollow points legal for me to possess?

Yes. They are legal for purchase and possess in your home or on land owned by you. They are legal to possess and use at a gun range. They are also legal to possess while traveling to and from such places. Ammunition lacking a hollow cavity at the tip, such as those with a polymer filling, are not considered to be hollow point ammunition. An example of this can be seen with the Hornady Critical Defense / Critical Duty, Cor-Bon PowRball / Glaser Safety Slug and Nosler Inc. Defense ammunition.

Ammoland.com reported that after the arrest Twyne was suspended from his job. New Jersey’s rabid anti-gun politicians don’t seem to care how many innocent, productive lives their incomprehensible web of gun control laws upend.?""""""

Clear as mud, huh?

And I certainly cannot argue with anything Lehigh makes, bad stuff. Same with Underwood, Corbon, and Buffalo Bore. Too expensive for everyday fun, but radical when needed. I shoot the Underwood in 400 Corbon, 150 grain bullet in excess of 1,400 fps and over 650 fpe. You darn sure know when those go off. They load the same bullet in the 10mm to 1425 fps and 676 fpe. People may not know but Underwood sells 22 different loads, just for the 10mm round. Nobody else comes close.

It is ironic that some place like New Jersey makes it a crime to carry hollow point ammo in a 38 Special, but I can load my 10mm or 400 Corbon to double the power of any 38 or most 9mm and use a flat point that will shoot through several walls and they is just fine. Lots of common sense missing on that one.

So...how'd the layover go ? Maybe hasn't happened yet.

Just for information I got this response from Hornady.

Thank you for your question. The Hornady Critical Defense and Critical Duty lines are not technically considered traditional hollow point bullets. They feature the Flex Tip (FTX) technology, which is a polymer tip inserted into the bullet that initiates consistent expansion while preventing clogging. It's important to check with your local state laws to determine if these specific types of ammunition are legal, as regulations can vary from state to state. Thank you. 03

If you are on an airplane that has to emergency land in New York or New Jersey you would be arrested and charged when you pick up your bags.

I live in Florida, we can probably carry radioactive, exploding incendary bullets. (just teasing) Never shoot someone with an incendiary bullet. It cauterizes as it goes through, and He won't bleed a drop! Why just last month I was in a bar with a guy that got shot through the belly with an incenidary he was doing a trick where he passed a rope through the hole in his belly. (A Babtist preacher once told me that a small lie was as bad as a big one, so I only tell whoppers. It is like a free upgrade on your value meal)

I carry a 1911 and I only load ball anyway. On the rare occasions that I carry a 9MM or a .38, I do load hollow-points. I am an old man and I have not suffered any negative consequences from my bad habits. When I die, never being involved in a gunfight, my wife will have good reason to gripe over all the money I wasted.

Could you cite an incident where that has happened and the person was prosecuted?

There are dozens of not hundreds. Google can be your friend.

No you can possess hollow points in NJ, you would only be arrested if you shot someone with them when you landed.

Read the rules NJ.you can possess hollow points for hunting in certain weapons. pistols are required to fire non -expanding rounds. Got a friend that lives NJ and he really doesn’t know the laws , because they are really that confusing. i will never take a gun into NJ from Pa because they have no tolerance for out of state folks.

This out of state folk has no tolerance for New Jersey. Spent a few days there on business one time and couldn't get away from the freak show fast enough.

The Jersey Coast is the closest place for me to go saltwater fishing. That’s the only reason I go there. I like to go to Upstate New York for salmon fishing too. Don’t get near the cities, and NY and NJ pretty nice places.

I won't even cross the bridge to shop in Illinois because of their laws.

I won't even cross the bridge to shop in Illinois because of their laws.

We quit travelling to California maybe 15 years ago, just because of guns laws. We usually travel in camper, 5th wheel or class c motorhome. We stay in the boonies often and have actually stopped at one place where a couple were murdered while traveling to camp in New Mexico. Not long thereafter a couple of ladies just traveling in southern Colorado were kidnapped at a spot we had just been through.

I spent decades in law enforcement and prosecution, so I know there are lots of dangerous people. But from our travels, we know that they are in higher numbers along highways and in the boonies.

When you travel t another place or state with a know high rate of violent crime, you are not smart to go there. But if you do, you are even less smart if you choose to go unarmed. So, there are thousands of nice places to visit that are not anti gun. i choose to spend my money and time in those states.

""As of right now, there are nine states that have laws banning the use of hollow-point ammunition: California, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Texas."""

Hollow Point Bullets Legal In Which States - isalegal

I have no clue if this is still current.

CA doesn't ban HP's, though one specific HP round is technically banned in San Francisco, the old Black Talon, but that's the only one AFAIK (and I'm 20 miles south of SF CA).

 

[Hvymax]

This ain't right about, Texas.

Or Maryland.

They aren't even qualified to pump their own gas do you want them to have guns???
