Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in New Jersey?

  1. No

  2. Yes, a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card

  3. Yes, a Handgun Purchase Permit

  4. Yes, both A and B

The correct answer is: Yes, a Handgun Purchase Permit

In New Jersey, a permit is required to purchase a handgun. Option A is incorrect because a permit is indeed required. Option B is incorrect because a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card is only required to purchase long firearms, such as shotguns or rifles, not handguns. Option D is incorrect because while option A is partially correct, option B is not correct at all. The correct answer is option C, as a Handgun Purchase Permit is specifically required for the purchase of handguns in New Jersey.
