IMO the guy is screwed as far as a FOPA or NJ "moving" exemption because of the loaded handgun, but the search part peaked my interest. Cop sees 2 guns in the back, decides he has probable cause to search even though there's no warrant. Are guns (which can be legal,unlike pot) probable cause for a search? I believe the guy didn't consent to a search either from the "hindering" charge that he also got. It was only after his car was seized that the warrant came in. There was a case in NM I believe where open carry of a firearm was not probable cause, even if people rarely do it. The fact that the activity could be lawful(w/permit or otherwise) is extremely importatnt.
