Burlington County Man Denied Gun Permits Due to Wife's Record

A Burlington County man has been denied an application for a purchaser’s ID card and four gun permits to replace his “antiquated guns” because his wife is a convicted felon who has been accused of domestic violence, the Courier Post reports.

The unidentified man was applying for the permits so he and his teenage son could continue to shoot recreationally, according to the report.
