NJGF 375 Posted January 17, 2016 So will NJ become a shall issue state? Citizens' Protection Act http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2016/Bills/S1000/579_I1.HTM SYNOPSIS Revises procedures for securing a permit to carry a handgun. Statement This bill, the "Citizens' Protection Act," revises and simplifies the procedures for securing a permit to carry a handgun in the State of New Jersey. Under the provisions of the bill, an applicant for a permit to carry a handgun would be entitled to that permit so long as he can demonstrate competence with a firearm and is not statutorily disqualified. To demonstrate that competence, the applicant would be required to include, as part of his application for the permit, a copy indicating his successful completion of a firearms safety or training course or class offered by a law enforcement agency, an educational institution, the military, or the National Rifle Association. An applicant who holds a permit to carry is deemed competent and need not submit such evidence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
