Who is eligible to apply for a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey?

Any resident of New Jersey
Only US citizens living in New Jersey
Residents and non-residents with a business in New Jersey
Only law enforcement officials

The correct answer is: Any resident of New Jersey

In New Jersey, any resident who is at least 18 years old and does not have a criminal record or history of mental illness is eligible to apply for a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card. This means options B, C, and D are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because non-US citizens who are residents of New Jersey are also eligible to apply. Option C is incorrect because non-residents are not eligible to apply, unless they are a member of law enforcement or have a business in New Jersey. And option D is incorrect because while law enforcement officials are eligible to apply, they are not the only group eligible - all residents who meet the requirements are eligible.
