Introduced Text

New Jersey S2023 regulates handgun and firearms purchaser identification card permits for individuals aged 18 to 25.

New Jersey S2023 mandates a screening process for individuals aged 18 to 25 who wish to apply for a permit to purchase a handgun or a firearms purchaser identification card. The screening process, developed by the Commissioner of Human Services in consultation with the Attorney General, assesses whether the applicant poses a significant danger to themselves or others by owning or handling firearms. If the screening determines a significant danger, the applicant will not be issued a permit.
