The correct answer is: Rifles, shotguns, and handguns

The term 'firearm' in New Jersey legally encompasses rifles, shotguns, and handguns. This broad definition reflects the state's regulations that aim to govern and control the use of various types of firearms, not just limiting it to handguns. New Jersey's definition considers the potential risks and responsibilities that come with all types of firearms, including long guns such as rifles and shotguns, which are integral to firearm safety and legislation within the state.
