Bill Summary

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.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a regulatory program for the sale of rifle and shotgun ammunition in New Jersey. Under the bill, purchasers of rifle and shotgun ammunition would be required to exhibit a valid firearms purchaser identification card, a permit to purchase a handgun, a permit to carry a handgun, or a valid New Jersey hunting license to establish their eligibility. The bill prohibits the sale of rifle and shotgun ammunition to individuals under 18 years of age, with exceptions for certain historical collectors and for the transfer of ammunition for use in a lawfully transferred firearm. The bill also allows for the sale of a small amount of rifle or shotgun ammunition at certain licensed firearms ranges.
