Under federal law, people are generally prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms if they have been convicted of a felony or some domestic violence misdemeanors, or if they are subject to certain court orders related to domestic violence or a serious mental condition.

The castle doctrine creates an exception to the duty to retreat before using deadly force in self-defense if the individual under attack is in their own home. The law in New Jersey allowing the use of force in defense of one's home or personal property (NJ Rev Stat § 2C:3-6 (2013)) follows the castle doctrine.

Under current law, a firearms purchaser identification card is valid indefinitely, unless the holder becomes subject to any of the disabilities that disqualify a person for firearms ownership.
