Which of the following is a legal place to discharge a firearm in New Jersey?

Within city limits
In a designated shooting range
In state forests during non-hunting season
Public parks

The correct answer is: In a designated shooting range

The correct answer is indeed the designated shooting range. In New Jersey, discharging a firearm is highly regulated and only permitted in specific locations. Designated shooting ranges are established for the purpose of safely practicing and using firearms, complying with local laws, and ensuring public safety. These ranges are constructed to manage the risks associated with shooting in a controlled environment and often have safety measures and supervision in place. While other locations such as state forests may allow hunting during certain seasons, they are not lawful places for discharging firearms otherwise. Urban areas and public parks are typically prohibited for firing guns due to the density of populations and the risks involved. Therefore, using a designated shooting range is the only option that aligns with New Jersey's firearms regulations for discharging a firearm legally.
