I understand that citizens cannot have Hollow Point handgun ammo.

Does this also apply to soft point handgun ammo or ammo like Glaser Safety Slugs, Magsafe, etc?

That's really stupid if it's true. You don't want penetration. By the way, I used to work with a lawyer who had been a cop and he told a story about responding to a shooting in the leg with a Glaser. He was there within minutes, fully trained in first aid, ambulance and EMT's there quick -- guy bled out within minutes. It's a cone shaped wound that is really devastating.

I was told(not yet verified) No hollow points to be "carried" other than by "on-duty" LEO's, no off duty carry.

Apparently they may be kept in a weapon "in your house" by anyone legally possessing a weapon.

Also they may apparently be fired at "approved" ranges.

Also a NJID card is required to buy any ammo in NJ.

Pretty stupid. Sounds Unconstitutional on the face of it.
quote:

These conditions for use and transport of hollow nose ammunition are consistent with the legislative intent to restrict the use of such ammunition to a limited number of people. It is well established that in construing a statute exceptions are to be "strictly but reasonably construed, consistent with the manifest reason and purpose of the law." Service Armament Co. v. Hyland, 70 N.J. 550, 558-559 (1976). The State Supreme Court has "characterized the Gun Control Law as 'highly purposed and conscientiously designed toward preventing criminal and other unfit elements from acquiring firearms while enabling the fit elements of society to obtain them with minimal burdens.'" Id. at 559

The law is that hollowpoints are illegal for a long list of activities that are ALSO ILLEGAL

Basically the list of exceptions BELOW where it says in the law that hollowpoints are illegal is longer than the law itself.

Of course cops are often as functionally illiterate as the perps they arrest and don't read past that top line.

Like the vast majority of police officers think (incorrectly) that you must have a New Jersey firearms purchaser ID card (FID) to be IN POSSESSION of a longarm, when that is specifically NOT the actual law.
