And welcome to Gun Lawyer. Teddy, New Jersey’s hollow point bullet law has to go. It has to go because it is a gun safety danger. You know how the gun rights oppressionists always talk about, oh, it’s gun safety. It’s a favorite.

Teddy Nappen 00:46

Oh, yeah. They always tote that one. All the time.

Well, the hollow point bullet, we’ll call it ban, although there are certain exemptions, but it basically operates as a ban. It needs to be repealed because it is in fact promoting a gun safety, public safety danger. The idiots that passed this law don’t understand what a hollow nose bullet is and what it does. So, a hollow nose bullet is merely a bullet with a hollow nose, a hole in the front. And what happens is, when the bullet hits its target, it will expand. By expanding, the energy of the bullet fully transfers to the target that it hits. Now, what it means is hollow nose bullets have less penetration, substantially less penetration, and deliver more or fuller energy transfer to the target. So, the idea, if you have to use your gun in self defense, is to end the threat. Stop the threat. That’s what you want to do. And so the hollow nose is very effective at putting the energy into the target and ending the threat. It is the preferred ammunition for self-defense purposes, but New Jersey prohibits it, except with narrow exceptions. And those exceptions include buying it at the store, bringing it to your home and using it for hunting, if legal. But you cannot legally carry hollow nose ammunition in your carry gun. Even though you have a permit to carry your handgun, you can’t have hollow nose bullets in it.

Now we’ve talked about certain alternatives that are polymer filled or that kind of thing that the State Police have recognized. (https://www.nj.gov/njsp/firearms/firearms-faqs.shtml – Question 20.) But the bottom line is New Jersey law bans hollow nose. Even if you use these State Police acceptable rounds, we, meaning you and me as representing you, particularly when you’re charged with hollow nose, we have to go through the whole routine of
