NJ Permit to Carry
Legal · Effective July 4, 2026

Terms of use

By using this website you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. Separate terms will apply to the Jersey Carry iOS app when it launches.

Informational only — not legal advice

Everything on this site is general information about New Jersey's permit-to-carry process and carry restrictions. It is not legal advice, and reading it does not create any attorney–client or advisory relationship. New Jersey firearms law is complex, carries criminal penalties, and is under active litigation — court decisions can change what is lawful with little notice. Before you rely on anything here, confirm it with the New Jersey State Police, your local police department, or a licensed New Jersey attorney.

No guarantee of accuracy

We work to keep the content current, and pages show a review date, but we make no warranty that any information is accurate, complete, or up to date at the moment you read it. Carry-location information referenced from the app is community-sourced and may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. Always verify posted signage in person.

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws, including where and how you carry a firearm. Decisions you make based on this site's content are your own.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NJ Permit to Carry and its operators are not liable for any damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content — including direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, and including any legal consequences of carrying in a restricted place. The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Intellectual property

The content, design, and branding of this site are owned by NJ Permit to Carry. You may link to any page and quote brief excerpts with attribution; you may not republish substantial portions or use our branding without permission.

Third-party links

Links to official resources (such as NJSP or court materials) and other third-party sites are provided for convenience. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content.

Independence

NJ Permit to Carry is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the New Jersey State Police or any government agency.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time; the effective date above will change when we do. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. Questions? Contact us.
