New Jersey A1175 clarifies that BB guns are not firearms under state law.

New Jersey A1175 amends the definition of "firearm" to exclude BB guns, ensuring they are not subject to the state's firearms licensing and permitting statutes. BB guns, defined as air guns or spring guns ejecting a bullet or missile smaller than three-eighths of an inch in diameter, are now explicitly excluded from the firearm category. This change aims to clarify the legal status of BB guns, ensuring they do not fall under the strict regulations applied to firearms.
