What does New Jersey law require for all firearms sold in the state?

A locking device
Fingerprint recognition technology
A GPS tracker
A three-day waiting period

The correct answer is: A locking device

New Jersey law mandates that all firearms sold in the state must come with a locking device. This requirement is in place to enhance safety and reduce the risk of accidental discharges or unauthorized access to firearms. The locking device serves as a means to secure the firearm when it is not in use, promoting responsible gun ownership and ensuring that guns are kept out of the reach of children and individuals who may not be trained to handle them safely. The other options, while they may represent concepts related to firearm technology or regulation, do not reflect the current legal requirements for firearm sales in New Jersey. For instance, fingerprint recognition technology and GPS trackers are not mandated by state law for firearms sold, nor is there a specific three-day waiting period required for all firearm sales; although New Jersey has a background check requirement that could lead to a waiting period, it is not universally stated as a three-day rule. Thus, the requirement for a locking device stands as a clear legal stipulation aimed at improving firearm safety in the state.
