NJ gun laws are especially draconian and the ultimate intent is to ban all guns except for LE and the Mafia. But, the fact is that most state laws regarding handgun carry do NOT make an exception for antique or repro guns. I may be wrong but I know of no state that has a carry license that exempts a C&B revolver, for example, or any that exempt a flintlock pistol from the laws on armed robbery or assault with a deadly weapon.
Antiques and repros are typically exempt from SOME of the laws regarding purchase, but not from the criminal laws regarding their use. So you might be able to buy that flintlock with no restrictions, but if you stick up a bank with it, or fire it down main street at noon, it is no different from a Glock.
