Is a permit required to purchase a shotgun in New Jersey?

  1. No, a permit is not required

  2. Yes, a permit is required

  3. Only for semi-automatic shotguns

  4. Only for residents of New Jersey

The correct answer is: Yes, a permit is required

In New Jersey, a permit is required to purchase a shotgun. This is because New Jersey has stricter gun laws compared to other states and requires background checks and permits in order to purchase a firearm. Option A is incorrect because a permit is required, option C is incorrect because it only specifies semi-automatic shotguns, and option D is incorrect because non-residents can also purchase shotguns with a permit. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
