What is New Jersey's stance on 'open carry' of firearms?

Allowed without a permit
Allowed with a permit
Not allowed
Only allowed for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Not allowed

New Jersey does not allow the open carry of firearms. It is considered a "may-issue" state, meaning that residents must demonstrate a justifiable need to carry a firearm outside the home in a concealed manner. This requirement makes open carry illegal in the state. It's important to note that New Jersey has strict gun laws, and individuals should familiarize themselves with the regulations before carrying firearms in any manner.
