It is important to note that the firearm must remain locked and unloaded at all times while in transit through New Jersey.

B: No, under any circumstances - This is not entirely accurate. While New Jersey has strict gun laws and generally does not recognize out-of-state licenses or permits, there are limited exceptions for non-residents who are transporting a firearm through the state.
