New Jersey Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Which of the following firearms is explicitly prohibited from being owned or possessed in New Jersey?

1. Bolt-action rifles

2. Semi-automatic shotguns with a capacity of six rounds or less

3. Assault firearms not specifically named in the statute

4. Double-barrel shotguns

The correct answer is: Assault firearms not specifically named in the statute

Assault firearms not specifically named in the statute are explicitly prohibited from being owned or possessed in New Jersey. This means that any firearm that falls under the category of an "assault firearm" and is not specifically listed in the statute is not allowed in New Jersey. This includes firearms with certain features such as a folding stock, flash suppressor, or pistol grip, regardless of the type of action (bolt-action, semi-automatic, etc.). Option A, bolt-action rifles, are not specifically banned in New Jersey. However, if it falls under the category of an "assault firearm" as mentioned above, then it would be prohibited. Option B, semi-automatic shotguns with a capacity of six rounds or less, are also not explicitly prohibited in New Jersey. However, there are certain features that may categorize them as an "assault firearm" and thus make them illegal. Option D, double-barrel shotguns, are not included in the definition of an "assault firearm" and therefore are not explicitly prohibited in New Jersey. It is important to note that in addition to these specific firearms, there are other types of firearms and ammunition that are also prohibited in New Jersey. It is always best to check the state's laws and
