Can non-residents carry a handgun in New Jersey with a permit issued from another state?

Yes, always
No, not under any circumstances
Yes, but only with prior approval
Yes, but only while passing through

The correct answer is: No, not under any circumstances

In New Jersey, non-residents are not allowed to carry a handgun, even if they possess a permit issued by another state. The state has strict regulations surrounding firearm possession and carry, prioritizing safety and control over who can carry firearms within its borders. For non-residents, the law does not recognize out-of-state permits for the purpose of carrying handguns. Therefore, under any circumstances, a non-resident cannot carry a handgun in New Jersey, making the assertion that permits from other states grant such rights incorrect. The other choices suggest scenarios that imply some level of acceptance of out-of-state permits, which does not align with New Jersey’s stringent laws concerning firearm carry.
