New Jersey Gun Laws at a Glance
In New Jersey, a permit to purchase a firearm is required (required: firearms purchaser id card (long guns) + a purchase permit for each handgun), there is a waiting period (7 days (handguns); none for long guns), firearms are registered with the state (not required (but police keep records of all handgun sales; new residents must register handguns they bring in)), there is a magazine-capacity limit (10 rounds), and the state has an assault-weapons ban.
| Permit to purchase | Required: Firearms Purchaser ID card (long guns) + a purchase permit for each handgun |
|---|---|
| Waiting period | 7 days (handguns); none for long guns |
| Firearm registration | Not required (but police keep records of all handgun sales; new residents must register handguns they bring in) |
| Magazine limit | 10 rounds |
| State "assault weapon" ban | Yes (since 1990; registered pre-ban guns exempt) |
| Carry | A Permit to Carry a Handgun is required and is now issued shall-issue style: the old "justifiable need" test was eliminated in late 2022, but applicants must be 21, pass training and background checks, and carry concealed only (open carry is not allowed). A long list of "sensitive places" is off limits even with a permit, and parts of the 2022 carry law are still being fought over in federal court. |
