Effective January 2008, New Jersey has stiffened the Graves Act, affecting virtually anyone caught carrying a firearm without a permit. Even if an individual legitimately owns a handgun but carries it unlawfully (without a gun permit), they are violating a regulatory provision and are subject to harsh penalties — a minimum of 3 years in New Jersey state prison.
Under the new laws, many who have never had a problem with the law are suddenly faced with the possibility of a criminal conviction: an unknowing driver who borrows a car that with a gun in the trunk, a person who lawfully owns a gun, but does not have a permit, and a woman who chooses to carry her husband’s handgun for self defense. The list goes on and on.
