It's a good idea to be prepared. In New Jersey, possessing or displaying a replica firearm in a manner that causes public alarm can lead to legal issues. If the police contact you:
- Cooperate fully and explain the situation.
- Show any markings on the replica to prove it's not a real firearm.
- Consider speaking with a lawyer for advice specific to your situation.
