What is the legal limit for the capacity of a magazine in New Jersey?

  1. 10 rounds

  2. 15 rounds

  3. 20 rounds

  4. There is no limit

The correct answer is: 10 rounds

In New Jersey, the legal limit for the capacity of a magazine is indeed 10 rounds. This law was enacted to regulate the number of rounds a firearm can hold in a magazine, aiming to enhance public safety. By limiting magazine capacity, the state intends to reduce the potential for mass shooting incidents and restrict the ability of individuals to fire multiple rounds in quick succession without the need to reload. The 10-round limit applies to all firearms except for certain competitive sports or historical firearms that may have specific exemptions.
