    I'd feel a little better just seeing one NJ rep supporting this. Truth be told I think our reps are scared shitless about this bill. They may actually find themselves having to defend it in this land that has forsaken the 2A for so long.

     

    Congressman Tom MacArthur is a supporter of the bill.  Please take the time to contact his office and ask him to become a co-sponsor... 

    Burlington County Office - 856-267-5182

    Ocean County Office - 732-569-6495

    Washington DC Office - 202-225-4765

    And say what? "This is ridiculous we do not discriminate when turning our subjects into victims" ?

     

    :-)  Probably...  Seems to me between arguments like this (totally different approach bringing discrimination into the mix), national reciprocity (hopefully passed soon), and a REAL SCOTUS once the new Pres gets to confirm his pick(s), states like NJ, CA, HI, and MD will lose this battle finally!   At least it's cause for optimism that we can force the loony politicians entrenched in these states to truly recognize the constitution...  We'll see...

    I believe some version of national reciprocity will pass quickly after the new administration takes office.  Once out of state permit holders are able to carry unrestricted, I don't think it will be too long before NJ and other restrictive states will have to comply.  I imagine there will be an immediate flood of lawsuits once non-residents are able to carry in NJ but the state's OWN residents are still restricted!  We'll see...  I'm hopeful the Dems in Trenton will finally have to cave...

    I can't believe after years of this, and now at least a possibility of it coming true, we still have people here saying, "This will do nothing for us in Jersey."

     

    What exactly are YOU doing in Jersey? I don't want to hear about the phone calls you've made, or emails you've sent, I want to know what your hope is for CC.

     

    What bill do you have proposed that you think NJ will pass for CC?

     

    What politicians are waiting in the wings that you will elect and will champion and pass CC?

     

    What lawsuits do you have that will give Jersey CC?

     

    Answer:

     

    NONE

     

    You have nothing. You are counting on us. This legislation, in any reasonable form, would be a watershed event for the entire country. This is your quickest, best hope for CC in Jersey. Maybe it will turn out Jersey residents can't carry from Day 1, maybe not. But either way this would ultimately be the strongest way to start the collapse of the Jersey CC BS. It could not stand in the face of this. It might even require more fighting, but this would be leverage like nothing we have now. The piercing of the veil of Jersey firearms ignorance alone would be worth more than anything we got in Jersey in the last 30 years, and that is probably only 1% of the power of this earth shaking change.

     

    Exactly my thoughts.  It is my hope that whether one of these National reciprocity bills passes as is or are modified to accommodate the leftist states, the number of lawsuits filed if non residents are allowed to carry here but NOT our own law abiding NJ residents would be enormous!  The loony left legislature would need to cave quickly or be pulled along kicking and screaming by the courts...  At least, that is my hope!

    Thats not what  the bill means. It means any state's permit shall be honored in NJ (If it allows conceal carry, which it does) and THEN   the person has to adhere to NJ restrictions. Lets say NJ says you cannot take your gun in movie theatre or other restrictions. An outsider has to carry his gun just as a NJ guy with permit to carry would.  The idea is just like an out of state driving license.

     

    So if NJ residents have a non resident permit from any other state, we would be legal in NJ?  THAT would be something!

    I've read a few different takes on the proposed Hudson bill being drafted for the new administration.  Some say there is no residency requirement and it would cover any state issued permit to carry, others say you'd need a valid permit from your residency state.  Does anyone know how it would treat states like NJ where "may issue" is the law but where in reality, residents have no chance of getting a permit?

    NJ already has the strictest requirements in the country and we have pretty much lost in NJ courts and through the Federal 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. The ninth Supreme Court justice could be the ultimate decision maker and possibly our only hope of any real change. But this could take years or decades to decide. The only real solution is to just move.

    Sadly, moving is not an option for many of us due to a variety of reasons.  On the bright side, NJ gun ownership has risen dramatically over the past few years.  There are over 1.1 million gun owners in NJ, approx. 12.5% of the population of 9 million.  Many of our family and friends, who never even thought about owning a weapon, have become owners or applied to get their permit. As more  people in NJ realize weapons are not taboo, they'll (hopefully) create enough pressure to vote out these crazy politicians! This is especially true for the large minority communities in many sections of NJ (who most of these insane gun laws were written to target).  If those communities would realize the laws are basically written to keep guns OUT of their hands, the political pressure would be enormous and our laws would change very quickly!
