Are Hollow Point Bullets Legal in New Jersey?

Hollow point ammunition is legal in New Jersey, but it is regulated under state law.

New Jersey law allows firearm owners to possess hollow point ammunition in certain locations and circumstances.

However, the law places restrictions on where hollow point ammunition can be carried or transported.


Where Hollow Point Ammunition Is Allowed

New Jersey residents may legally possess hollow point ammunition in locations such as:

• their home
• at a shooting range
• while traveling to or from a range
• while traveling to or from a place of purchase

These transportation rules generally follow the same exemptions that apply to firearm transport laws.


Restrictions on Hollow Point Ammunition

New Jersey law restricts hollow point ammunition from being carried in some situations outside of these exemptions.

Because the law can be complex and misunderstood, firearm owners should carefully review the applicable statutes before transporting or carrying hollow point ammunition.
