A 1448 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Allows active duty members of United States military to carry firearm at all times.

This bill (A1448) amends New Jersey law to explicitly exempt active duty members of the U.S. military from firearm restrictions while on duty. It adds active duty military personnel to the existing list of individuals already permitted to carry firearms under specific conditions (N.J.S.2C:39-6(1)). The change clarifies that military members traveling between duty locations or on active duty can carry weapons as authorized by military regulations, without needing additional state permits. It does not create new rights but formally incorporates military personnel into current exemptions.
