Which type of firearm identification card is required to purchase shotguns and rifles in New Jersey?

Firearms Purchaser Identification Card
Permit to Purchase a Handgun
Both A and B are required
No identification is required

The correct answer is: Firearms Purchaser Identification Card

In New Jersey, the Firearms Purchaser Identification Card is the specific identification card required for an individual to purchase shotguns and rifles. This card serves as a background check mechanism and ensures that the purchaser meets the legal requirements to own a firearm, including being of legal age and free from disqualifying factors such as felony convictions. The Permit to Purchase a Handgun, on the other hand, is specifically designated for handgun purchases and does not apply to shotguns and rifles. Therefore, having both types of permits is unnecessary for purchasing long guns. The option that states no identification is required is also incorrect, as New Jersey has strict regulations in place that mandate the use of the Firearms Purchaser Identification Card for buying shotguns and rifles.
