Bill Summary
This bill eliminates the age restriction governing the issuance of permits to carry handguns to retired law enforcement officers. Currently, retired law enforcement officers may receive a permit to carry a handgun without having to establish "justifiable need" until they have attained the age of 75. This bill eliminates that age limitation.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law to remove the age restriction for retired law enforcement officers seeking special permits to carry a handgun. Previously, retired officers could obtain such permits without needing to demonstrate a "justifiable need" (a specific reason for carrying a weapon) only up to the age of 75; this bill eliminates that age limit, allowing all retired law enforcement officers, regardless of age, to apply for these permits under the same conditions.
