Supreme Court Takes First 2A Case in a Decade

That is because it is not in the statutes. A FID is just for long guns or ammunition. You do not need a FID for a permit to purchase a handgun, nor for a permit to carry. Also, something most do not know, your purchase permit allows you to purchase ammo as well.

I listened to attorney Dan S. on the GFH podcast and he recommended waiting to apply for carry to see if the rules for applications change in the coming weeks. I am not sure that I agree with that thinking.

Thursdays US Supreme Court ruling was the greatest victory for residents in state like NJ and NY in the history of 2A. On Friday the NJ Attorney General removed the illegal justifiable need clause. 

What more do we need to wait for?

 

Many thanks.

Easy boys and girls, let's take a breath instead of speculating, the dust will settle soon enough. Get what you can together and be patient. Courses will surely be available everywhere, after all they won't be free and they will be happy to tell you where to spend your money.

I agree.  My work schedule is full until late September.  By then, I think the steps to take to get a permit will be a bit clearer although the "system" will be bogged down with the number of applications submitted.  I figure I've waited this long................

  I guess I need to find that part of NJ law where is say a vehicle owner must peacefully relinquish property to a thief, if the thief has a weapon.

 

Isn't N.J. a "duty to retreat" state outside of your property or place of business?

Yes.  It actually includes your property and home. Castle Doctrine in NJ is extremely limited.  Inside your home you cannot use deadly force to prevent a robbery, even if the intruder has a weapon.  If he is just stealing, you have to retreat and call police.  You can only use deadly force if the intruder is trying to kill you or inflict grave bodily harm.

On your property, you have a duty to retreat into your home.

 

If you kill an assailant, the court will look to the history of both the assailant and you.  If the assailant has a history of carjackings or break ins and has never harmed anyone, you are screwed.

 

If you have been posting on social media, like a gun forum, that you have the right to kill anyone who threatens you, well....good luck.

You'd think we never discussed use of force on this forum for home protection or something, lol.....  or use of force in general...

Respectfully, I don't think this is accurate.

If someone breaks into your home and they have a gun, there is no law that states that you have to engage in some sort of dialogue with the criminal to determine whether he's there to simply take all your possessions or if he's also going to shoot you.

I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Under NJ state constition: "All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain natural and unalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and of pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness."

 

in conjunction with NJ state law, I view the issue as follows. 

You can't be the initial aggressor, clearly the person breaking into your home is. 

You have a right to forcefully remove the person from your property(dwelling)to protect it, and obtain safety. If that individual then shows a willingness and ability to harm you, self defense is warranted. 

This idea you have to sit and watch someone ransacked your home while the police make their way to you is nonsense. 

NJ is going to have one hell of time justifying duty to retreat with that paragraph being the first one in the NJ State Constitution, or at the very least an individual using force to protect their property.

Evidently they remanded the magazine capacity limitation case (if that is the one you meant) to lower court with instructions to reevaluate or rehear it in light of Bruen.

I want a 33 rounder for my Glock!!!

Not sure if you're serious but... Wouldn't one of those protrude from the bottom of the grip, and wouldn't it be difficult to avoid "printing" if carried?

Yes and yes.  It would be purely a range item, not for carry or home defense.

I believe this is an extremely good sign for you guys, for mag capacity ban, as well as AWB. 
 

Patience. This will come.

The 33 rounder is for the mag change.   Otherwise carry it IWB at 12 o'clock and enjoy all the attention it attracts.

I would really, really enjoy seeing the mag ban overturned, more so than the CCW ruling. 

That would be a kick right in Bucky's horse teeth.

Your Bruen decision document must differ from the pdf version that I downloaded from the SCOTUS site. Page 80 of my pdf is (actual) page 2 of Kavanaugh's concurrence. That does mention objective licensing requirements, but the only potential objections mentionedafer that are "possession by felons and the mentally ill"; "sensitive places" (an exception already strictly delimited in Thomas' opinion), and "dangerous and unusual weapons", also amply limited by Thomas. Thomas' opinion itself is only 63 (actual) pages long. Regardless, under forseeable circumstances, the limitation of the right to carry to only the handgun used for qualification, would be the absolute removal of the right to carry for an indivdual until that circumstance was addressed, subjecting that individual to risks that could easily be avoided by modification or elimination of that restriction. This decision is about the right to carry for ordinary citizens, not only firearms wonks or rich people. Many of those citizens cannot be reasonably expected to own and qualify with multiple handguns, just so that New Jersey can exercise whatever legitimate interest (if any) that is has in that requirement. Satisfaction that the carry permit holder is sufficiently familiar with the carried handgun to not present a safety hazard to the general public could be achieved in any number of ways that do not place a similar burden on the permit holder. My expectation is that NJ really wants to use this as an additional firearms registry. 

"Thomas left a lot to be desired in the courts opinion. He was very broad in these statements which means they aren't too keen on ruling on them."

It's comforting to know that we have someone on the forum in telepathic contact with the Justices :) Sorry for the snark, but there could have been l a lot of other reasons for Thomas' brevity, including that this session was evidently quite heavy.

"I also see larger issues being more important with regards to the courts time.. we can't even get them to hear a mag ban case, a gun ban case, a bumpstock ban case... a lot of gun related issues were shot down this session."

Evidently they remanded the magazine capacity limitation case (if that is the one you meant) to lower court with instructions to reevaluate or rehear it in light of Bruen.

No offense, but is this the first SCOTUS opinion you've dug into? 

The scope of Judicial review is a very deliberate thing... to suggest they/he left things out due to a heavy work load is not even seriously considered. 

Remanding to the lower courts is a pass off for now, again they decided not to hear the cases, when they could have and given a direct opinion Seperate of Bruen. If lower courts reverse, that's only good news for the circuit it happens in. 

NJ doesn't need to use it as a registry, they literally already have one. 

If you can't afford multiple firearms? How is this even an issue now?

Now that jersey's 'mag ban' was just remanded back to the 3rd Circuit court yesterday along with the 9th, 4th, etc. To be redone using TEXT. HISTORY. TRADITION. No "interest balancing," no "2nd tier", no more intermediate scrutiny. 

 

What if the 3rd and especially the 9th, refuse to comply with the SCOTUS, yet again??

IT can still be appealed to SCOTUS, and they can lay the smack down again.

Pending enaction of some legislation currently in process, I'm pretty sure that some firearms (e.g. inherited from a deceased parent) are not required to be registered to the current owner in NJ This would remove that limitation for NJ's registry if the heir wanted to carry. 

Afford, or not, it is an unreasonable limitation on the right to bear arms, period. Bruen was very heavy in the syllabus and the general fraoming of the decision on the general principle that there were only a few, specific, restrictions on RTKBA that are Consitutional. Those were if a person is clearly a menace to society by virtue of criminal history, or insanity; if the restriction is analogous to those that widely existed in 1791 or 1867; or if the weapon is so unusual as to be an "affray", and cause panic by its very appearance (which imo directly relates to whether it appears similar to common currently used weapons) To the best of my knowledge, New Jersey's requirement to qualify with every specific firearm (not even an identical weapon with a different serial number would be allowed according to the current wording) that might be carried meets none of those tests.. The affirmation of states' rights to regulate that you cited was stated in terms of what is done in the current "shall issue" states. To the best of my knowledge, no other state or territory has, or has ever had, such a requirement. What protected interest could NJ have in this practice that is unique from every other state? I would think that consideration could be a decisive point against the practice if this ever was an actual court case. I also haven't seen (or at least I don't recall it) any cite of a NJ statute that penalizes or criminalizes carry by a permit holder of a weapon other than that used to qualiy. Does the permit itself have the handgun make, model & serial number on it?

There are no formative "tests" established in the opinion, unfortunately.  What you're seeing is general criteria outlined in the opinion. There is nothing as specific such as the "lemon test" which specifies exactly what must be considered in order for a law to be constitutional. 

The restrictions you note, are for the outright denial of the right. In fact, the licensing requirements in NY which also requires registering the firearm to be carried was left in place. 

I'm not disagreeing with you sentiments, it's ridiculous. 

NJ will argue every one has the right carry a firearm who isn't prohibited, and can do so with the firearm of their choosing after completing the "objective" licensing requirements.
