Firearms

A Permit to Purchase or FID is not be required for the passing of a firearm other than an assault firearm upon the owner’s death to his heir or estate.
No person under 18 may possess, carry, fire, or use a firearm except:

• In the actual presence or under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian, or some other person who holds a Permit to Carry or FID; or
• For the purpose of military drill under the auspices of a legally recognized military organization and under competent supervision; or
• For the purpose of competition or target practice on a firing range approved by the governing body of the municipality in which the range is located or the National Rifle Association and which is under competent supervision at the time of such supervision or target practice; or
• For the purpose of hunting during the regularly designated hunting season, provided he possesses a valid hunting license and has successfully completed a hunter’s safety course.

No person may possess, control, own, or purchase any firearm if he has:

• Been convicted of aggravated assault, arson, burglary, escape, extortion, homicide, kidnapping, robbery, sexual assault; bias intimidation or endangering the welfare of a child; or any weapons offense; or any domestic violence offense including crime such as harassment, stalking or criminal restraint.
• Ever been committed for a mental disorder to any hospital, mental institution, or sanitarium unless he possesses a certificate of a medical doctor or psychiatrist licensed in New Jersey or other satisfactory proof that he is no longer suffering from a mental disorder which interferes with or handicaps him in the handling of a firearm.
• Been convicted for the unlawful use, possession, or sale of a controlled dangerous substance.
• Subject to a court order pursuant to New Jersey law prohibiting the person from possessing any firearm.

It is unlawful to knowingly possess “any hollow nose, dum-dum, or body armor penetrating bullet.”
A person may keep such ammunition at his dwelling, premises, or other land owned or possessed by him, or carry such ammunition from the place of purchase to said dwelling or land. Military and law enforcement personnel and retail dealers may possess restricted ammunition, provided records are kept of purchasers. A federally licensed collector may possess no more than three examples of each distinctive variation of restricted ammunition.

Carrying

It is unlawful to knowingly have in your possession a:

1. Handgun, including any antique handgun, without first obtaining a Permit to Carry. No distinction is drawn between carrying openly or concealed.
2. Rifle or shotgun without first obtaining a FID card. It is Illegal to carry a loaded shotgun or rifle in any vehicle, or to shoot from any vehicle or across any road.

The exceptions 1 through 11 listed under POSSESSION also apply to CARRYING. Application for Permit to Carry: Application is made to the police chief where the applicant resides or to the Superintendent of State Police if the community does not have a police chief or if the applicant is a nonresident.
The licensing authority makes a recommendation to a judge of the Superior Court who grants or denies the permit. The judge may also place restrictions on the permit.
The permit is valid for two years and costs $20.
The applicant must meet the requirements of the Permit to Purchase and FID, provide personal information, be fingerprinted, prove his familiarity with the use of handguns, have three reputable people knowing the person for at least three years and have a “justifiable need to carry a handgun.”
A description, including serial number, of every handgun which the applicant intends to carry must be provided.
Only one permit need be obtained for all such handguns.

Note: Issuance of the permit is almost completely discretionary, and New Jersey courts have upheld the policy of strictly limiting permits “to persons specifically employed in security work . . . and to others who can establish an urgent necessity for carrying guns for self-protection.” Failure to give notice to an applicant within 60 days is deemed to be an approval of the permit. The procedure for appealing a denial is the same as appealing a denial of a Permit to Purchase or FID.

Antiques And Replicas

“Antique Firearm” means any rifle or shotgun incapable of being fired or discharged; or which does not fire fixed ammunition, regardless of date of manufacture; or was manufactured before 1898 for which cartridge ammunition is not commercially available, and is possessed as a curiosity or ornament or for its historical significance or value. “Antique handgun” is a handgun manufactured before 1898, or a replica thereof, which is recognized as being historical in nature or of historical significance and either utilizes a match, friction, flint, or percussion ignition, or a pin-fire cartridge in which the pin is part of the cartridge; or does not fire fixed ammunition or for which cartridge ammunition is not commercially available.

Machine Guns

A machine gun is any firearm, mechanism, or instrument not requiring that the trigger be pressed for each shot and having a reservoir, belt or other means of storing and carrying ammunition which can be loaded into the firearm, mechanism, or instrument and fired. Possession, purchase, or sale of a machine gun without a license is prohibited.
A license can be obtained by applying to a judge of the Superior Court where the applicant resides or, if a nonresident, where business is conducted.
Manufacture, shipping and transport of a machine gun without a license is also prohibited.
No license shall be issued unless the applicant would qualify for a Permit to Carry and the court finds “that the public safety and welfare so require.”
The license is valid for one year, unless otherwise provided by the court. The court may also attach such conditions and limitations to the license as it deems to be in the public interest.

Gun Crackdown Underway in New Jersey

New Jersey law enforcement officials are re-doubling efforts to crack down on criminals using guns illegally. Gun Crackdown in NJ Office of Attorney General State Attorney General Jeff Chiesa says, “We’re conducting strategic investigations aimed at seizing existing guns in violent areas, disrupting the supply of guns being trafficked into those areas, and aggressively prosecuting criminals…since January, the State Police intelligence section has seized just over 100 guns – primarily from convicted felons and drug dealers.” He says, “These guns were seized through a newly formed bureau – the State Police Weapons Trafficking Bureau – working with the State Police North and South units…with the formation of this new Bureau, the State Police more than doubled the detectives assigned specifically to weapons trafficking – in 4 months, the State Police Intelligence section has already matched the number of guns it seized in all of 2010 , and has nearly matched the number of guns it seized in 2011.” Chiesa adds, “This new gun initiative involves a common- sense approach to addressing gun violence, by removing guns and the offenders who carry them from our neighborhoods…there is an unmistakable connection between the gun trade and illegal guns- and we’re using drug investigations to aggressively go after guns.” He points out, “We’re leveraging any probable cause developed in drug investigations, to make arrests and execute search warrants that lead us to guns, and gun charges…through this initiative, we’re taking direct aim at those responsible for the proliferation of guns, and gun violence in our urban communities.” Chiesa also points out, “You don’t deer hunt with a machine gun with a silencer – that’s not what those guns are for – those guns are to injure and kill other people.”


THIS IS ONE OF NEW JERSEY STATE LAWS OF WHICH YOU CAN NOT HAVE A COLLAPSIBLE BUTT-STOCK.

N.J. law bans assault rifles, restricts other weapons

The man who police say killed 12 people in a Colorado movie theater early Friday was carrying an AR-15 assault rifle, a Remington 12-gauge shotgun and a 40-caliber Glock handgun, according to law enforcement officials. Another Glock pistol was found in the alleged shooter's car.
In New Jersey – unlike Colorado – assault rifles like the AR-15 are illegal, and owning the other firearms involves a lengthy permit process. New Jersey law also places significant restrictions on where owners can carry their weapons.
"You can't just go out one day and buy a gun," said Drew Churchson, a member of the Waldwick Rifle and Pistol Club. "There are very steep fines and punishments for those who don't follow the law."
The tragedy in Colorado has focused attention on America's gun laws, which vary widely from state to state. New Jersey bans more weapons and places more restrictions on firearm use than Colorado.
Federal law enforcement officials told The Washington Post that the gunman obtained all of his weapons legally. In New Jersey, however, assault rifles like the AR-15 have been banned since 1990. They also were prohibited by federal law until the Assault Weapons Ban expired in 2004, so their legality now varies among states.
According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, New Jersey has the second-toughest gun control laws in the country. The organization gave New Jersey a score of 72 out of 100 for its firearm restrictions. California was tops with a score of 81. Colorado, by contrast, received a score of 15.
Pistols may be purchased in New Jersey after obtaining a license — one that involves an extensive background check. And a person who wants to carry a pistol in public must get a separate license, which is almost never granted.
In Colorado, state laws do not prohibit assault weapons. No permits are required to carry a firearm openly, and it is possible to get a concealed carry permit. A background check, but not a license, is required to buy a gun, according to Colorado state law.
The licensing process in New Jersey, through which prospective gun owners must wade, is lengthy. Residents must apply for a permit through their local police department or through the New Jersey State Police and submit to a background check. By law, permits are supposed to be issued within 30 days of application, but it usually takes longer. For rifles or other long arms, residents must apply for a New Jersey Firearms Identification Card.
Three years ago, gun laws in New Jersey were further tightened when Gov. Jon Corzine signed into law a limit on handgun purchases. Now, customers can buy only one handgun every 30 days.
