Here in New Jersey, we are either excited about what’s going on with the 2nd Amendment or anxious about how upcoming court battles will pan out. One thing is for sure: we are on a path to victory for civil rights in the Garden State and nationwide.
We all know that New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin is Murphy’s lap dog. It’s pretty funny how he switches between praising the US Supreme Court and condemning the court based on how much he favors or disfavors any given ruling. They’re either fair and just or they are not, you can’t have it both ways Platkin.
Imagine being a state that loves to brag about being strict on gun violence, and then letting a violent murderer off the hook on gun charges. That’s New Jersey, where criminals are treated as victims, and law-abiding citizens as guests of the gulag.
Thinking about how to amend your court-issued permit to carry so you can conceal that new pistol you just picked up? Think again. A new directive was just issued to the county courts ordering them to stop amending permits effective immediately.
Yesterday, April 12, Jerry Arose, a well-respected member of the NJ 2nd Amendment community was injured in a house fire. A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family in their time of need. Please visit the GoFundMe page and consider making a donation to make sure they can focus on medical treatment and recovery.
Senator Ed Durr is one of New Jersey’s strongest and most vocal allies in the fight for our 2nd Amendment rights. Like many of us, he was pissed when his local police chief told him not to even bother applying for a carry permit. While there are many among us that think “my vote doesn’t matter”, this truck driver went and got himself a seat on the Senate. We wanted to hear what he has to say about the current state of 2A affairs in the Garden State.
Author John Petrolino recounts a recent conversation with the directory of Florida Carry regarding a third-party’s questions about the costs of New Jersey’s Permit to Purchase a Handgun. Lets just say there is no excuse, as a gun owner in NJ, for not being a member of the 2A groups fighting tooth and nail for our rights here in the Garden State.
We’ve said it before: “The corruption of New Jersey knows no bounds”. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin has misappropriated funds meant for COVID-19 relief for the purposes of “gun detection” systems and largely in towns that don’t really have any level of gun crime. He claims that so-called gun violence has increased since the beginning of the COVID pandemic and as such the funds qualify for these twisted uses. Read about this cheap, see-through, excuse for the misappropriation of funds.
Despite the recent ruling in NYSRPA v. Bruen, which said that our 2nd Amendment rights cannot be denied based on subjective criteria, New Jersey has a law on the books which allows police chiefs to deny 2A rights based on feelings. Read about the case of M.U. He was recently denied a handgun purchase permit by his local police chief. In denying the HPP, the chief also revoked his FID card and told M.U. to surrender any firearms he already owns. Read on to see how this one turns out.
This past Friday, Judge Bumb spent four and a half hours listening to arguments from both plaintiffs and defendants in the now-merged cases challenging New Jersey’s “sensitive places” law which makes the vast majority of the state off-limits to concealed carriers. No ruling on the PI has been issued yet, but it was quite the interesting hearing.
Before the so-called Carry Killer bill was signed into law, some judges were issuing carry permits that create inherent safety risks to the gun carrier as well as those in the immediate vicinity. Of course, New Jersey’s legislators loved this provision so much that they incorporated it into A4769. Some judges might be ideologically motivated and some might think they are “doing the right thing”. One thing is for certain: they are putting us all at risk.
Recently, there have been a few accounts of people asking their local police departments to re-issue their court-issued carry permits at the local level in order to shed themselves of the court order and join the ranks of the unrestricted. Due to a court ruling this past Monday, March 6, this doesn’t seem possible. Read on to find out why.
