What must an individual do before legally selling a firearm as a private sale in New Jersey?

Notify the police
The buyer must possess a valid Permit to Purchase a Handgun or a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card
Post an advertisement
Obtain a lawyer's consultation

The correct answer is: The buyer must possess a valid Permit to Purchase a Handgun or a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card

In New Jersey, before an individual can legally sell a firearm through a private sale, it is essential that the buyer possesses a valid Permit to Purchase a Handgun or a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card. This requirement ensures that the buyer has gone through the necessary background checks and meets the legal criteria to own a firearm. The state has strict regulations to promote responsible gun ownership and to prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands. Other actions, such as notifying the police, posting an advertisement, or obtaining a lawyer's consultation, do not fulfill the legal obligation for a private sale under New Jersey law. While communication with law enforcement or legal counsel may be advisable in certain situations, they are not mandatory steps in the process of a private firearm sale as long as the buyer meets the appropriate legal requirements.
