What's up NJ are ballistic rounds legal in new jersey and are tracer rounds legal?

NJSA 2C:58-10. Incendiary or tracer ammunition

No incendiary or tracer type ammunition shall be discharged anywhere in this State except for law enforcement purposes by law enforcement officers in the course of their official duties or by members of legally recognized military organizations during the actual course of their official duties in or upon military establishments or ranges constructed or maintained for such purposes. Nonincendiary shotgun tracer ammunition may, however, be used on a trap or skeet field for target purposes. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the carrying or possession for distress signal purposes of a visual distress signalling device approved by the United States Coast Guard aboard a private or commercial aircraft or any boat.

 

It is not illegal to have tracer ammo but is illegal to shoot it unless you meet the above requirements.

 

What do you mean by ballistic rounds?

Vmax Ballistic tipped .223 and thanx for the info

Vmax Ballistic tipped .223

 

I believe these would be considered hollowpoints, legal to buy, have at home , and shoot see http://njsp.org/about/fire_hollow.html for details and restrictions.

Thanx again time to stock up

So are incendiary ammo is Illegal to fire in the state of nj but perfectly legal to have

Vmax Ballistic tipped .223

 

I believe these would be considered hollowpoints, legal to buy, have at home , and shoot see http://njsp.org/about/fire_hollow.html for details and restrictions.

 

Im wondering if it is considered a hollow point due to the fact that its essentially the same design as the hornady critical defense rounds. BBoth designs use a polymer tip to force bullet expansion. Not to hijack, but many here, who carry in free states, carry the critical defense to intentionally avoid the issues surrounding hollow point ammunition.

The polymer tip on V-max style rounds is more for aerodynamics and improving the ballistic coefficient than for forcing expansion. They would not be considered hollowpoints because there is no hollowpoint, with the same reasoning as stated in the prior post re; CD, EFMJ and Powr-ball and validated by the AFTE (Association of Firearms & Toolmarks Examiners) to the NJSP.
