What is the grace period for transferring a firearm to a lawful heir in New Jersey?

10 days
30 days
60 days
180 days

The correct answer is: 30 days

In New Jersey, a lawful heir has 30 days from the death of the firearm owner to apply for a firearms purchaser identification card and permit to purchase a handgun. This grace period allows the lawful heir time to acquire the proper permits and complete a background check before taking ownership of the firearm. Option A is incorrect because 10 days is not enough time to complete the necessary steps for the transfer. Option C and D are also incorrect because 60 or 180 days is not the standard grace period in New Jersey for transferring a firearm to a lawful heir.
