New Jersey Gun Laws

In the state of New Jersey, law enforcement officials enforce numerous gun charges including:

– Certain Person Not to Possess a Firearm
– Possession of a Gun During CDS Activities
– Illegal Possession of a Rifle or Shotgun
– Unlawful Possession of a Handgun
– Possession of A Firearm for Unlawful Purposes
– Possession of BB or Pellet Gun

The consequences for being found with an unlawful weapon are steep since most handgun violations carry mandatory jail time. The severity of punishments is because possessing such arms might jeopardize public safety by putting people at risk.
