New Jersey requires a permit before any dealer transfer. For rifles and shotguns you need a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card (FPIC), available at 18; the initial card costs $50 plus fingerprinting. Each handgun needs its own Permit to Purchase a Handgun ($25), available at 21, valid 90 days with an automatic 90-day renewal. Both are filed online through the NJSP Firearms Application and Registration System to your local police department. You may buy one handgun per 30 days unless you hold an exemption, and the dealer runs a background check through the State Police before release.
Dealers in these communities all work for Belvidere-area buyers:
New Jersey issues a Permit to Carry a Handgun, applied for online through the State Police portal and processed by the municipal police chief where you live, or by the NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit if the State Police cover your town. Applicants need four references, CCARE range qualification with a certified instructor, and a list of every handgun they will carry. The fee is $226 and permits run two years. Carry is barred in many sensitive places under N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4.6, parts of which are still in court, and hollow point ammunition may not be carried in public.
New Jersey deer hunting is shotgun, muzzleloader and bow only; centerfire and rimfire rifles are not legal for deer. The 2026 Six-Day Firearm season runs December 7-12, with Permit Shotgun and Permit Muzzleloader seasons set by Deer Management Zone and regulation set in the 2026-27 Hunting Digest. Shotguns must be 10 to 20 gauge, hold no more than three shells, and fire slugs or buckshot from #4 to #000. Muzzleloading rifles must be .44 caliber or larger with black powder or a substitute. Black bear season runs in Zones 1-5 in October and December.
Pequest WMA near Oxford has deer ground and a Fish & Wildlife range for shotgun, muzzleloader and archery. White Lake WMA and Jenny Jump State Forest are also close, and much of Warren County is in the bear zones.
Warren County hunters use Pequest WMA, next to the state trout hatchery, as a base for deer, pheasant and range time.
These ranges are run by NJDEP Fish & Wildlife on Wildlife Management Areas. At least one person in the shooting party needs a valid New Jersey hunting license for the gear in use, and handguns are not allowed on any of them.

A 12 or 20 gauge with a rifled barrel and sabot slugs is the common choice, since rifles are not legal for deer. Buckshot must be between #4 and #000, and the gun may hold no more than three shells.
