And don’t get caught with a bb gun.

B-B gun pistols are subject to all of the laws applicable to handguns in New Jersey. A spring or elastic action pistol is literally considered a handgun and, therefore, a permit is required to possess, carry or transport it under N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4. If you are caught with an air pistol without the proper permits you are guilty of a third degree felony unlawful possession of a weapon under N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5(b). A third degree crime is punishable by 3 -5 years in prison with up to 3 years being mandatory without parole eligibility under the Graves Act. Under certain circumstances, the prosecutor can consider waiving the Graves Act regulations or downgrading or amending the charge if the facts call for it. An example of a lesser included charge that applies to individuals under 21 years old is possession of a firearm by a minor under N.J.S.A. 2C:58-6.1. This statute makes it a fourth degree offense who any individual under 21 years old to possess, carry, fire, or use a pistol without proper supervision.
