S 4274 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows active duty members of United States military to carry firearm at all times.

This bill would amend New Jersey's firearms law to allow active duty members of the United States military and National Guard to carry firearms at all times within the state, rather than only while on duty or traveling between duty locations as current law permits. It would add military personnel to the list of exempt groups under New Jersey's firearms regulations, requiring them to complete firearms training similar to other authorized groups. The bill's statement cites past attacks on military installations as justification for the change, arguing it would allow military personnel to better protect themselves and their families. The bill would not override federal restrictions on military personnel carrying weapons.
