Is an ID card or permit required to purchase ammunition in New Jersey?

  1. No, it is not required

  2. Yes, for all ammunition

  3. Yes, but only for handgun ammunition

  4. Yes, but only for certain types of ammunition

The correct answer is: Yes, for all ammunition

In New Jersey, a permit or ID card is indeed required for the purchase of all ammunition. The law mandates that individuals must possess a valid firearms identification card or a permit to carry a handgun in order to buy ammunition. This requirement aims to enhance public safety and regulate the sale of ammunition. The other possibilities do not accurately capture the comprehensive nature of the regulation. For example, stating that a permit is only required for handgun ammunition would overlook the fact that shotgun and rifle ammunition also fall under this requirement. Similarly, the idea that no ID card or permit is needed does not align with New Jersey's strict gun laws. As a result, the correct understanding is that a permit is necessary for all types of ammunition purchases in the state.
