Frank Jack Fiamingo 58 Posted July 12, 2012 Those of you who have been following the NJ2AS v. NJSP case know that the ACLU filed a similar case after we filed ours (In Re Adoption of N.J.A.C. 13-1E-3) and the ACLU case was subsequently consolidated with ours. They are still two separate cases, but will be heard at the same time and it is accurate to say that we are a party to the consolidated appeal. There was a story today on the front page of the Star Ledger about the ACLU case, but no mention of us. Of course, the story would have been far more interesting if they would have discussed how the ACLU and a gun owners' rights organization were on the same side of the issue. The ACLU challenges a bit more then we do, because we are focused on the specific new rules that allow the NJSP (in their opinion) to withold releasing the NJSP Firearms Investigation Guidebook and the ACLU are looking to overturn several provisions of the new rules exempting broad categories of Department of Law and Public Safety documents including the same rules that we are challenging. The thread on our case is here (which includes the ACLU brief) http://njgunforums.c...__fromsearch__1 The article can be seen online here: http://www.nj.com/ne...it_alleges.html Although it would have been nice to see NJ2AS on the front page, we are still very happy that the case is getting the attention that it deserves.

Bob B 103 Posted July 13, 2012 Please, in layman's terms, what will it mean to the average gun enthusiast in New Jersey if successful? Cliff's notes version: This case is an important cornerstone in requiring government to have a transparent gun permitting scheme. Transparency allows us to hold violators accountable via litigation. Secrecy begets impunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emt1231 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Do you guys think that Deborah Jacobs stepping down from as head of N.J. ACLU will effect the case? http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/07/head_of_nj_aclu_ends_13-year_r.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diamondd817 828 Posted July 13, 2012 Isn't the ACLU looking to make the NJSP pay & overtime records public information? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob B 103 Posted July 13, 2012 Do you guys think that Deborah Jacobs stepping down from as head of N.J. ACLU will effect the case? http://www.nj.com/ne..._13-year_r.html There is something odd about the third paragraph of that story: Just a few months ago, Jacobs showed up at a Star-Ledger editorial board meeting and got into an argument over legalizing marijuana — with the head of the Newark Police Department. Why was the "head of the Newark Police Department" at a Star-Ledger editorial board meeting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
