Can individuals convicted of a crime possess a firearm in New Jersey?

Yes, after 5 years
Yes, but only at home
No, not under any circumstances
Yes, if it's a non-violent crime

The correct answer is: No, not under any circumstances

In New Jersey, individuals convicted of a crime are generally prohibited from possessing firearms. This restriction applies to individuals who have been convicted of a felony, as well as many serious misdemeanors. The state's strict gun laws seek to enhance public safety by limiting access to firearms for those who may pose a risk due to past criminal behavior. As a result, the correct understanding of this law is that possession of a firearm is not permitted under any circumstances for those with such convictions. The other options suggest scenarios where firearm possession might be permitted after certain conditions are met, but these do not align with New Jersey's stringent regulations regarding firearm possession for individuals with criminal convictions.
