Which of the following would disqualify you from obtaining a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey?

  1. Having a traffic violation

  2. Being under 18 years old

  3. Being a non-resident

  4. Having a past drug addiction

The correct answer is: Having a past drug addiction

A past drug addiction would disqualify a person from obtaining a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey because it could pose a potential threat to public safety and raise concerns about the individual's mental and emotional stability. A traffic violation would not necessarily disqualify someone, but a history of serious traffic offenses could be a red flag for potential criminal behavior. Being under 18 years old would disqualify someone since the minimum age requirement for purchasing a firearm in New Jersey is 21. Being a non-resident could also disqualify someone as the permit is only available to residents of New Jersey.
