Even with a PCH, there are also restrictions on where you can and can't carry. For example, weapons are prohibited in hospitals, schools, and courthouses. You don't need a gun permit on your personal property in New Jersey.
N.J.S. § 2C:58-3 outlines the circumstances under which a person cannot be issued firearms or handgun permits. This section prevents anyone from being issued this identification or permit if they are convicted of any crime, disorderly persons offense, or domestic violence-related offense.
