How long is a Permit to Purchase a Handgun valid in New Jersey?

  1. 90 days

  2. 30 days

  3. 1 year

  4. 6 months

The correct answer is: 90 days

In New Jersey, a Permit to Purchase a Handgun is valid for a duration of 90 days. This stipulation is in place to ensure that individuals complete their transactions in a timely manner while still allowing for necessary considerations such as background checks and the time required to choose a firearm. After the 90-day period elapses, the permit expires and the individual would need to apply for a new permit if they still wish to purchase a handgun. Options that suggest longer durations, such as 6 months, 1 year, or shorter periods, like 30 days, do not align with the state's regulations regarding the validity of the permit.
