OK....But, if HR822 becomes law, I agree NJSP will not be happy....and at first they may try strong arm tactics. But that will cause more and more national attention....you can't arrest every pot smoker at a concert. New Jersey already looks bad and harassing people over the long term won't help the image. I don't think the legislature can go to "non-issue" in today's national picture....that also will look very bad. What happens when out of state carry reality causes a drop in crime across the state?

Well....if every person in the country with a CCW permit can carry in NJ ....it sure seems to make NJ CCW restrictions for residents getting permits seem absurd.

So....as I understand it.. after H.R. 822 passes. I have my doctorate, my NJ FID card, NRA pistol certification, NRA pistol instructor certification, my non-resident florida CCW, my non-resident virginia CCW, and can legally carry concealed in 40 states ..... and if were to attend a NRA organized meeting in New Jersey where 200 out-of-state residents attend and are legally carrying in NJ because of their home state CCW permits I would be singularly arrested and put in jail for 5-7 years just because of where my house is built? That is F***ed up Daisy!!

I know this topic comes up whenever the talk is of national reprococity. With the change of majority in the House there very well be a chance the bill H.R. 822 could pass. How would New Jersey residents who possess non-resident CCW from Florida or Virginia be affected if New Jersey is forced to honor other states CCW. If a resident of Florida with a carry permit and a New Jersey resident with a non-resident Florida carry permit were both carrying in New Jersey - would one person be arrested and the other not?

True, but what is the point of preventing CCW by your residents when the rest of the country can carry here?

I don't know about that. It missed breaking the filibuster by only one vote last june. I have heard there are three different bills that include the national reprococity provision and without a line item veto and with the political climate against him POTUS may well sign. It would force NJ's change.

Another question. With the change in power in the congress would national CCW reprococity pass? And, if so, wouldn't NJ be forced to allow CCW from some 40 states. Again doesn't that make paying money to defend against this lawsuit totally pointless.

Is there any consideration that the state of New Jersey will simply see the writing on the wall? That the state will not spend the thousands and thousands to defend their unconstitutional and woefully outdated position? It seems like such a waste of resources. Better would be to change the law themselves, charge for the CCW permits, and put money into the state account. I know that this will never happen, but iI never thought we would even get this far.

What would happen in New Jersey should a CCW national reprococity law be passed?
