Are permits to carry handguns issued to non-residents of New Jersey?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, if they meet specific criteria

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only for employment purposes

The correct answer is: Yes, if they meet specific criteria

Permits to carry handguns in New Jersey are only issued to non-residents if they meet specific criteria. This means that individuals who are not residents of New Jersey can apply for a permit to carry a handgun, but they must meet certain requirements set by the state. It is essential for non-residents to understand and adhere to these specific criteria in order to be eligible for a permit to carry a handgun in New Jersey. Option A states that permits are issued to non-residents without restrictions, which is incorrect. Option C states that permits are not issued to non-residents at all, which is also incorrect. Option D mentions permits for employment purposes only, which is not the sole criteria for non-residents to obtain a permit in New Jersey.
