Allows active duty members of United States military to carry firearm at all times.
This bill (S 937) would amend New Jersey law to allow active-duty members of the U.S. military to carry firearms at all times within the state, not just while on duty. Currently, military personnel are exempt from firearm restrictions only "while actually on duty" or traveling between duty locations under existing law. The bill removes this time restriction, extending the exemption to cover all times they are in New Jersey. It directly affects active-duty U.S. military members serving in New Jersey, aligning their firearm carry rights with other exempted groups like police officers under specific conditions.
