We do issue them for retired officers when they come out to requalify however, our state makes a free ccw available to retired officers so we rarely get the old guys at the range.
The more I hear, the more I believe NJ is one of those places I don't really have much reason to go to.
thanks

Gotcha, Rick; now understood.
BTW, travel through New Jersey often and lived there for a few months. The LEO's there obviously don't go around checking weapons. I carried to/from work, in uniform, regularly. Even carried on board many, many flights out of Newark. I daresay, however, one could get really jammed up (pun intended) if involved in an "bad" incident and was found to be carrying illegal ammo.
Be safe.
PS:
It is worth a trip, though; New Jersey grows the very best tomatos. The best!
