Lil Tjay has a reason to carry a gun.

He was shot seven times outside of an Edgewater, New Jersey Chipolte last June.

However, Lil Tjay doesn't seem to be legally able to carry a gun.

For the second time this year, he has been arrested for possession of a firearm.

This time, it's in Bergan County, New Jersey for unlawful possession of a handgun without a permit.

The last time it was in New York City, which is more serious due to the city's brutal gun laws.

In his latest arrest, Tjay is listed at 6 feet.  Whereas they pegged him at 5'7 back in January.

That's impressive growth for a 22-year-old.  He needs to change his rap name.
