Permits certain special law enforcement officers to carry firearms at all times when in State.

This bill (A3144) changes New Jersey law to allow certain special law enforcement officers to carry firearms at all times while in the State, not just within their municipality. It specifically applies to Class Two special officers employed full-time (35+ hours/week) by municipalities with over 300,000 residents (per 1980 census), provided they complete required training. Currently, these officers must turn in firearms at day's end and can only carry off-duty within their municipality. The bill removes the geographic restriction, permitting them to carry firearms anywhere in New Jersey after meeting the training requirements.
