Hi. I am a PA resident with a CCW permit in PA. I know I cannot carry concealed in New Jersey but I've been invited to join a friend to shoot shotguns and revolvers at a range at Fort Dix. What are the requirements for transporting handguns and long guns into NJ? Do I need anything more than my PA ID and to store unloaded weapons in the trunk and the ammo in the passenger compartment?

I regularly hunt in North Dakota (and live in MN) and I never do more than that.

There is a long list of "assault weapons" that will get you in trouble in NJ and it includes some shotguns and a few handguns. Also any magazine capable of holding more than 15 rounds is a no-no. Best bet is to have the unloaded weapons in locked cases and ammo in a separate container. I'd put it all in the trunk. If you get stopped for any reason and the cop spots shooting gear/accessories in plain sight, it just complicates things.

The last that I heard, it is completely illegal to possess firearms of any kind in NJ without the appropriate NJ paperwork. NJ also refuses to obey federal law regarding interstate transport of firearms, and jails people for the "crime" of passing through NJ with firearms.

No hollow point ammo in NJ!

Happened to me. I just told the officer I was in no hurry and his jurisdiction (Brimfield, OH) had a reputation for rigorously enforcing speed limits. So I was being careful not to violate any traffic laws.
He said he was glad to know it was working and let me proceed.

Not true. We hold Bullseye matches here, see: www.njpistol.com Shooters from outer states (so far had 11 states inc. Alaska,. no not Sara) routinely come to participate in our 2700 matches. I've been involved with these matches for 8 years and don't remember any outer state shooters having problems with NJ LEO's.
Have fun at Ft. Dix. Watch out for low flying AF planes. It's a public shooting range outside of the main base.

Don't forget, they hassled Tony Soprano about the hollow points too.

# shoot shotguns and revolvers at a range at Fort Dix. What are the # requirements for transporting handguns and long guns into NJ?
Unloaded, and cased. Locked in the trunk is better. The law (New Jersey Statute 2C:39-6f) permits anyone to transport firearms directly to or from a target range. Don't stop off at the Wawa for coffee - drive straight to Ft. Dix. Refer to NJS 2C:39-6g for specifics.
Make sure your firearms are NJ-legal. Since you only mention shotguns and revolvers, if you have a semi-auto shotgun, it can't have a pistol grip on it, a folding stock, or hold more than 6 rounds. Pump shotguns have no such restrictions on them. 2C:39-1w is the relevant section here.

As an ex-New Jerseyian I'm pretty sure the technicaly correct answer is that New Jersey does in fact require non-residents to have firearms ID cards to posses firearms in state. Non-residents can apply to the state police and fill out the proper paper work and obtain a NJ firearms ID card. I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one on the internet.

I have heard, and if going to Jersey, I would check, that it is legal to own or posess hollowpoint ammo, but you better not have it in your gun because that is illegal.

On the bright side, they pump your gas in New Jersey. Make sure your horn works and try to look generic. Keep things locked-up in the trunk.
