So, this week I learned that being on probation in NJ means no gun ownership during your term of supervision, even if you're on probation for an offense which would NOT make you a prohibited person, like Shoplifting (DP) or Bad Checks (DP).
This is #11 from the NJ Standard Conditions of Adult Probation:
 

You shall not have in your possession any firearm or other dangerous weapon as defined in N.J.S.A. 2C: 39 et seq. If
you possess a permit to purchase a handgun or a firearms purchaser identification card, you must surrender these
documents promptly to your probation officer. In addition, if you presently own any weapons, they must either be
surrendered to your local police department or to any other criminal justice agency designated by your probation
officer.

That seems reasonable...  Except why don't repeat offenders out on bail fall under this as well?

Because it's not a condition of sentencing... and they have not yet been judged...Although i'm sure a judge could order the surrender of firearms as condition for bail, but just like surrendering a passport you would have to prove they are a risk.
