Can an individual carry a concealed firearm in New Jersey?

Yes, without any permit
Yes, with a permit
No, under any circumstances
Only non-residents can with a permit

The correct answer is: Yes, with a permit

In New Jersey, carrying a concealed firearm is permitted only if an individual has obtained a valid permit to carry. This requirement is strictly enforced, reflecting the state's commitment to regulating firearms in an effort to enhance public safety. The process of obtaining a permit is thorough and includes meeting certain eligibility criteria such as being of legal age, undergoing background checks, and demonstrating a justifiable need for carrying a firearm. The other options are misleading. Carrying without a permit is not allowable under New Jersey law, as any form of concealed carry must be backed by the appropriate permit. Additionally, residents cannot carry without a permit, and the notion that only non-residents can carry with a permit misrepresents the law; permits are available to both residents and non-residents, but all must follow the same legal procedure to obtain one.
