Clarifies types of firearms allowed to be carried or transported while hunting.*
Maddy summaryThis bill clarifies that hunters with a valid handgun permit (under N.J.S.2C:58-4) or who are authorized to carry handguns generally (under N.J.S.2C:39-6) may carry those handguns while hunting. It explicitly permits carrying but prohibits using handguns to hunt any game, maintaining existing restrictions on firearm types for hunting. The bill amends New Jersey's hunting statutes (R.S.23:4-44, -12, and -13) to add this exception, aligning with recent changes to handgun permit laws following the *New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen* Supreme Court decision. It directly affects licensed hunters who carry handguns for personal protection during hunting activities.
