What does the New Jersey Permit to Carry a Handgun allow?

Open carry statewide
Concealed carry statewide
Carrying only on one's own property
Carrying in specific municipalities

The correct answer is: Concealed carry statewide

The New Jersey Permit to Carry a Handgun specifically allows for concealed carry statewide. This means that individuals who hold a valid permit may carry a handgun on their person in a concealed manner, as opposed to openly displaying it. New Jersey has strict regulations surrounding firearm carry laws. The permit does not permit open carry, which is not legally recognized in the state. Additionally, the permit is not limited to one's own property or restricted to specific municipalities, allowing the permit holder to carry in any location within the state where it is legally permissible. This emphasis on concealed carry is a crucial aspect of New Jersey’s firearm regulations, focusing on ensuring public safety while enabling responsible individuals to carry firearms for self-defense.
