Who is eligible to apply for a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey?

  1. Anyone over the age of 18

  2. New Jersey residents only

  3. Non-residents with a valid reason

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: New Jersey residents only

The eligibility to apply for a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey is primarily restricted to New Jersey residents. This is because the state firearms laws are designed to regulate the ownership and purchase of firearms within its jurisdiction, and thus, applicants must establish residency to ensure compliance with state regulations. While non-residents and those over the age of 18 may have their own pathways for firearm ownership or permits, they do not qualify for the Firearms Purchaser Identification Card unless they meet specific conditions set forth by New Jersey law. The option indicating that only New Jersey residents can apply accurately reflects the state's requirement.
