A friend of mine and I provide courier services in NJ. What we do is pickup and deliver documents and items of value. Sometimes, we have items that are worth something, such as an expensive automotive part or jewelry.
We had a few customers ask if we considered arming ourselves due to being nervous someone may hold us up.
I contacted a few people and all I keep getting is I don't knows. From the NJ business Registration Unit to the NJ State Police Firearms and Detectives Unit.
I looked at the licensing requirements for becoming a security agency in NJ. None of us would qualify as our occupation has been logistics and not LE or Security.
I guess my question is, in your opinion, would I be able to get a NJ Permit to Carry a Handgun if I had a letter of proficiency from a place in NJ that teaches the requirements for this permit (NJ Firearms Academy) and a detailed letter of need on my company letterhead explaining what we do and why we need it OR do I need to become a licensed security agency?
We are already licensed and bonded. But I do not look at this as we would be security officers. The law I found on the NJSP website is vague. What is anyone's opinion on this?
