So i wanted to come on the forum because i would like other peoples advice who have firearm experience. I live in NJ and we have the worst gun laws in country. They are not allowed to have gun shows in this state because of super tight laws. Anyway ive been using a bowtech 2.0 diamondrock bow for hunting and i really want a shotgun so i can go hunting and 9mm glock for home protection. ive tried getting my paperwork to get a gun, but because i got caught smoking weed when i was 19 (im 27)there is no way the state lets you get anything. I believe i have the right to protect my family but because i smoked a joint a longgggggg time ago i cant own a firearm. Everyone what should i do?
