A question for New Jersey cops out there...
Now that HR 218 has been in practice for a bit, has any word come on down on how out-of-state (non-NJ) cops carrying their weapons in NJ will be handled? I could find no mention of it on either the New Jersey AG website or the NJSP website.
Essentially, according to New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice, 2C:39-3. "Prohibited weapons and devices"..
f. Dum-dum or body armor penetrating bullets. (1) Any person, other than a law enforcement officer or persons engaged in activities pursuant to subsection f. of N.J.S.2C:39-6, who knowingly has in his possession any hollow nose or dum-dum bullet ... is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.
In this context, "Law Enforcement Officer" is either a Federal Officer, a NJ LEO, or an out-of-state LEO "on official, sanctioned business".
So, while HR 218 says I can carry in NJ, I gotta carry semi-wad-cutters (in my snubbie) or ball/FMJ to stay above board? And what is considered a "Dum-Dum" anyway?
Would non-hollowpoint expanding ammo like the Cor-Bon "Pow 'R Ball" or Federal Expanding Full Metal Jacket be legal for us non-NJ LEO's?
