Exempts certain veterans from field or live-fire range portion of hunter gun safety course.
This bill exempts eligible veterans from completing the practical range portion of New Jersey's required gun safety course for hunting licenses. Veterans must provide proof of honorable military service or WWII Merchant Marine discharge to qualify for the exemption, but still need to complete the classroom portion of the course. The exemption applies specifically to the field or live-fire range exercise, not the entire safety training. It directly affects veterans who are applying for or renewing hunting licenses and meets the state's existing gun safety requirements without the practical range component.
