Under New Jersey law, where is it legal to carry a firearm?

In public, with a permit
Only in your home
In your car, without a permit
At shooting ranges and while hunting, with certain permits

The correct answer is: At shooting ranges and while hunting, with certain permits

The correct answer highlights specific scenarios where carrying a firearm is permitted under New Jersey law. It acknowledges that individuals can carry firearms at designated locations such as shooting ranges and while engaging in lawful hunting activities, provided they possess the appropriate permits. This aligns with New Jersey's regulations, which are quite stringent regarding the carry and possession of firearms. Other options mentioned do not accurately reflect the legal framework. For example, carrying in public generally requires a permit, which is not addressed in the answer you provided. Likewise, while an individual may possess a firearm in their home, carrying it outside those confines is heavily regulated and not allowed without the necessary permits. The aspect of transporting firearms in a vehicle without a permit is also misleading, as New Jersey law requires firearms to be carried in a specific manner, typically unloaded and in a closed container, without just cause for the carrying of the firearm itself.
