Eliminates age restriction for issuing special permits to carry handgun to retired law enforcement officers.
This bill eliminates the age restriction that previously required retired law enforcement officers in New Jersey to be 75 years old or younger to receive a permit to carry a handgun without establishing "justifiable need." It removes the current requirement that retired officers must be under 75 to obtain such permits without proving a specific need for carrying a handgun. The change allows retired officers of any age to apply for a permit to carry a handgun without having to demonstrate a specific need for the weapon. This affects all retired law enforcement officers in New Jersey who wish to carry handguns for personal protection or other purposes.
