Are hollow-point bullets legal in New Jersey?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only for law enforcement and military use

  3. Yes, but with restrictions

  4. No

The correct answer is: Yes, but with restrictions

Hollow-point bullets are indeed legal in New Jersey, but their use is subject to specific restrictions. This means that while individuals can possess and use hollow-point ammunition, there are regulations governing how and when they can be carried and used. For example, the use of hollow-point bullets for certain defense scenarios is permitted, but carrying them in a firearm outside of one’s home or for purposes other than self-defense can lead to legal complications. The other options suggest that either there are no restrictions at all or that hollow-point ammunition is only permitted for law enforcement and military personnel, which does not accurately reflect New Jersey's regulations. Understanding these nuances is important for anyone who owns firearms or is interested in firearm laws in the state.
