What is the penalty for possessing a firearm unlawfully in New Jersey?

  1. Mandatory counseling

  2. Probation

  3. A fine

  4. Imprisonment

The correct answer is: Imprisonment

The penalty for possessing a firearm unlawfully in New Jersey is imprisonment. This is because the state of New Jersey takes the possession of firearms very seriously and has strict laws in place to deter individuals from owning them unlawfully. Mandatory counseling, probation, and a fine may be given in addition to imprisonment, but it is not the primary penalty for this crime. Therefore, these options are incorrect.
