I think the backlash from the original one in Rockland county would cause a big stir. New Jersey houses a lot of retired NYC and NJ cops and they DON'T want to be known.

Ok so? May issue can be changed to shall issue too.

 

The point is just because it can't be done now doesn't mean the law can't be changed. Need to be vigilent. Which I think is your point as well.

What is the difference between the words "may" issue and "shall" issue?

What is the difference between the words "may" issue and "shall" issue?

This is an oversimplified answer, but, in a nutshell...

 

SHALL issue means that as long as you meet the requirements for a permit (i.e. age, no criminal history, maybe a training class - the requirements vary from state to state) then you shall be issued a permit.

 

MAY issue means you have to make your case as to WHY you need a permit and then you may get a yes or a you may get a no depending on whether or not the judge (or whoever is responsible for the approval of your permit) likes your reason for needing a permit.

 

NJ is a MAY issue state.. on paper at least.
