Can a person convicted of a felony own a firearm in New Jersey?

  1. Yes, after serving time

  2. No

  3. Yes, with a pardon

  4. Yes, but only after 10 years

The correct answer is: Yes, with a pardon

A person convicted of a felony in New Jersey cannot legally own a firearm unless they have received a pardon. Options A and D are incorrect because they both suggest that a person can own a firearm after a certain time period, which is not the case in New Jersey. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that a person cannot own a firearm at all, but a pardon does allow for legal possession of a firearm.
