Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
Now: not law; BB/air guns remain inside 2C:39-1. If chaptered, only the .177 / <500 fps / non-pointed-pellet carve-out would drop those items out of 'firearm.'
Defender utility
NJ PDs on 2C:39 BB/air-gun calendars: this print is not a defense today. If it chapters, demand the caliber and velocity elements (.177 and <500 fps) and keep pointed pellets or hotter airguns inside the definition. Twin of A 1175. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. NJ PDs on BB/air-gun 2C:39 calendars — pending definition carve-out, not present law; not a California charge.
