Who is required to obtain a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey?

  1. Anyone purchasing a rifle or shotgun

  2. Only law enforcement officers

  3. Only military personnel

  4. Non-residents only

The correct answer is: Anyone purchasing a rifle or shotgun

The requirement to obtain a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey applies to anyone who intends to purchase a rifle or shotgun. This regulation is in place to ensure that firearm buyers have undergone a background check and meet certain legal criteria, thereby promoting public safety. The other choices do not accurately reflect the regulations regarding firearm purchases in New Jersey. Law enforcement officers and military personnel have different protocols when it comes to firearms, often not requiring the same permits for their professional duties. Non-residents are not singled out under this regulation either, as the requirement is generally applicable to all individuals looking to purchase rifles or shotguns within the state, ensuring consistent firearm ownership practices among residents.
