Can a person convicted of a felony own a firearm in New Jersey?

Yes, after serving their sentence
No
Yes, if the conviction is expunged
Yes, but only after 10 years

The correct answer is: No

In New Jersey, it is illegal for a person convicted of a felony to own a firearm, regardless of when or if they have served their sentence. Option A is incorrect because simply serving their sentence does not automatically restore a person's right to own a firearm in New Jersey. Option C is incorrect because expunging a felony conviction does not automatically restore a person's right to own a firearm in New Jersey. Option D is incorrect because there is no set period of time after which a person convicted of a felony can own a firearm. It is important to note that federal law also prohibits felons from owning firearms, and attempting to do so can result in federal charges.
