What Are the NJ 2C:39-6 Firearms Exemptions? - Adam M Lustberg
Notas del episodio
From Lustberg Law Offices, LLC - What Are the NJ 2C:39-6 Firearms Exemptions? explores how New Jersey’s strict gun laws interact with narrow exemptions for firearm possession, transport, hunting, target shooting, home and business possession, collectors, retired law enforcement officers, and certain security personnel. This episode breaks down N.J.S.A. 2C:39-6, how it relates to N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5, and why an exemption is not automatic protection when prosecutors challenge whether every condition was satisfied.
The discussion covers key civilian firearm exemptions under subsections (e), (f), and (g), including transport to target ranges, hunting locations, exhibitions, displays, gunsmiths, residences, businesses, and other permitted destinations. Listeners will learn why firearms must generally be unloaded and secured in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked trunk, and how issues like loaded magazines, unnecessary route deviations, hollow-point ammunition under N.J.S.A. 2C:39-3(f), and FPID limitations can affect a defense.
This episode also examines the stakes when a 2C:39-6 exemption defense fails, including potential charges under N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5(b), N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5(c), and N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5(f), as well as mandatory parole-ineligibility terms under the Graves Act, codified at N.J.S.A. 2C:43-6(c). It also touches on related protections and limits involving LEOSA, 18 U.S.C. § 926C, the Firearm Owners Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 926A, out-of-state permits, and New Jersey’s refusal to recognize carry permits from other states.
