Certain persons not to have weapons
(a) Fourth degree (b) Second degree. 2C:39-7

If record of conviction establishes an
offense akin to one described in 18
U.S.C. § 922 (g)(1), (2), (3), (4), or
(5), (j), (n), (o), (p), or (r), 18 U.S.C.
§ 924 (b) or (h), or 26 U.S.C. §
5861, conviction would probably be
deemed a "firearm offense" AF. If
sentenced to a term of imprisonment
of at least one year, might also be
deemed a "crime of violence" AF.
See note on New Jersey 4th degree
offenses and “crimes of violence” at
end of chart.
Because no intent to
use the weapon
required, would
probably NOT be
considered a CIMT.
Would probably be
considered a FO if record of
conviction establishes that
offense involved a firearm or
destructive device (as defined
in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)).
