Why get a NJ Permit to Carry a handgun (PTC)

If you're a resident of New Jersey and interested in carrying a handgun, you might want to consider obtaining a NJ PTC (Permit to Carry a handgun). While this may seem like a daunting process, there are many reasons why it might be worth it. Let's explore six reasons why you should get your NJ PTC today.

Personal Protection

One of the most common reasons people seek a NJ PTC permit is for personal protection. If you're someone who feels more secure carrying a firearm, a NJ PTC permit allows you to do so legally. It's important to note that carrying a concealed weapon comes with great responsibility and training, so it's vital to take the necessary steps to become proficient in handling firearms.

Emergency Situations

Even the most well-trained and safety-conscious person can find themselves in a dangerous situation. Having a NJ PTC permit means that you'll be prepared for unexpected emergencies, whether it's a home invasion or a mugging on the street. A firearm can be an effective tool for self-defense in these situations.

Travel

If you frequently travel outside of New Jersey, having a PTC permit can be helpful. While New Jersey is now a "shall-issue" state, meaning that permits are issued if you meet all requirements, other states have similar or more lenient "shall-issue" policies. By having a valid NJ PTC permit, you may be eligible to carry your firearm in other states that recognize reciprocity agreements with New Jersey, making it easier to legally carry across state lines.

Competitive Shooting

If you're interested in competitive shooting, a NJ PTC permit can be beneficial. Many competitions require participants to have a PTC permit or some form of certification to ensure that they are proficient in handling firearms. Obtaining a NJ PTC permit can also be a great way to improve your overall firearm knowledge and skillset.

Business Owners

If you own a business in New Jersey, obtaining a NJ Permit to Carry (PTC) can be a crucial step in protecting your livelihood. As a business owner, you may face unique security challenges, especially when transporting cash, valuable inventory, or making late-night trips. A NJ PTC permit allows you to legally carry a firearm not just on your premises but also while conducting business-related activities off-site, providing an additional layer of protection for you, your employees, and your assets against potential threats.

Peace of Mind

Finally, obtaining a NJ PTC permit can provide peace of mind. Knowing that you're prepared for unexpected situations can be comforting, and the training you receive from our expert instructors can give you confidence in handling firearms safely and responsibly.

Have a valid NJ Firearm ID and own a handgun

To obtain a NJ PTC permit, you must have a valid NJ Firearms ID card and own a handgun registered in NJ. A NJ Firearm ID Card is a document issued by the New Jersey State Police to individuals who pass a background check and meet other federal requirements to purchase or own a firearm in the state. If you do not have one or need to renew, you can start the process here.

Get trained and prepared

Firearms training is highly recommended to prepare yourself for the CCARE (Civilian Carry Assessment and Range Evaluation) protocol or qualification exam. If you fail, you will need to retake the exam at an additional cost. At Urban Tactical Firearms, we provide training that covers firearm safety, marksmanship, and self-defense. It is important for ensuring that individuals understand how to use a firearm safely and effectively, and when it is appropriate to use deadly force. By completing our training program, individuals can gain the knowledge and skills needed to pass the qualification exam to carry a concealed weapon in New Jersey.

Pass the CCARE protocol or qualification exam with a certified instructor

The NJ PTC permit qualification exam has three key components that we administer. First, all applicants must complete in-person training on the use of deadly force. Second, applicants must pass a live-fire shooting qualification exam (CCARE Protocol) to demonstrate firearm proficiency. Finally, they must show safe handling of a firearm during this qualification exam. Urban Tactical Firearms is certified to facilitate this exam. This test is a critical part of the NJ PTC permit application process, ensuring that individuals can use a firearm safely and accurately. Passing the test demonstrates the necessary skills to carry a concealed weapon in New Jersey.

Submit your NJ PTC application

To apply for a NJ PTC permit, you'll need to submit key documents: a completed application form, proof of New Jersey residency, a valid NJ Firearms ID card, proof of completion of a Use of Deadly Force course, and proof of passing the CCARE live-fire qualification, including safe firearm handling. Applicants must also provide fingerprints (if not already on file), undergo a background check, and submit a Mental Health Consent Form. Let Urban Tactical Firearms handle the paperwork to ensure your application is processed efficiently and accurately, giving you peace of mind.
