What must an individual obtain in order to carry a handgun in public in New Jersey?

A Firearms Purchaser Identification Card
A handgun carry permit
Consent from the local police department
A valid driver’s license

The correct answer is: A handgun carry permit

In New Jersey, individuals must obtain a handgun carry permit in order to carry a handgun in public. This permit is issued by the local police chief or superintendent of the State Police and requires the applicant to demonstrate a justifiable need to carry a handgun. A Firearms Purchaser Identification Card is needed to purchase a handgun but does not allow for the carrying of a handgun in public. Consent from the local police department is not sufficient for carrying a handgun in public, and a valid driver's license is unrelated to the carrying of a handgun.
