Bill > S622

Introduced Session

This bill would further regulate the sale of ammunition. Under current law, the sale of handgun ammunition is regulated to the extent that a purchaser must establish his or her eligibility by exhibiting a firearms purchaser identification card, a permit to purchase a handgun, or a permit to carry a handgun and that he or she is 21 years of age or older. This bill would establish a similar regulatory program governing the sale of rifle and shotgun ammunition. In addition to the documentation a purchaser may use to establish his or her eligibility to acquire handgun ammunition, this bill would permit prospective rifle and shotgun ammunition purchasers to exhibit a valid New Jersey hunting license to establish their eligibility. Sales and transfers of rifle and shotgun ammunition may not be made to individuals under 18 years of age.
