Concerns issuance of permit to purchase handgun and firearms purchaser identification card to persons age 18 to 25.

This bill would require a new screening process for individuals aged 18 to 25 applying for a handgun permit or firearms purchaser ID card in New Jersey. The Commissioner of Human Services, working with the Attorney General, must develop criteria to assess whether applicants pose a "significant danger of bodily injury to self or others" before issuing permits. If the screening determines an applicant is a danger, they would be denied the permit. This change directly affects young adults in this age group seeking to purchase or possess firearms, adding an additional safety check beyond standard background checks.
