Is it mandatory to complete a firearms safety course to apply for a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey?

No, not mandatory
Yes, but only for handgun purchases
Yes, for both handgun and long gun purchases
Yes, but only for long gun purchases

The correct answer is: No, not mandatory

In New Jersey, it is not mandatory to complete a firearms safety course to apply for a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card. The requirements to obtain this card primarily include submitting a completed application, undergoing a background check, and providing references. While taking a firearms safety course is highly recommended for safe handling and storage of firearms, it is not a legal prerequisite for the issuance of the identification card. The other options suggest varying degrees of mandatory training for handgun and long gun purchases, but none accurately reflect the current requirements for obtaining a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey. This clarity helps ensure that applicants understand their obligations and the importance of responsible firearm ownership.
