History was made in South Jersey Thursday evening at the New Jersey Constitutional Republicans meeting as CNJFO Officers David "Rosey" Rosenthal, Vice President, along with Treasurer Jack Pyle and Communications Director Theresa Inacker, proudly presented a check for $11,000 to Mark Cheeseman, John Jillard and Jay Factor in front of a packed room of Patriots, to aid them in bringing forth their lawsuit to bring about the right to carry firearms outside the home for all law abiding NJ gun owners!
The funds were raised through a well-publicized matching funds campaign run by Jack Pyle, with CNJFO promissing to match dollar-for-dollar up to the first $5,000 donated to Cheeseman-Jillard through its' special "drop-down" on its' web page. Contributors responded to our impassioned plea by donating an additional $1,000, thus making the check total $11,000! A big thanks to all that donated from all of us at the Coalition!
The 2nd Amendment was celebrated in a big way. The New Jersey Constitutional Republicans held their first meeting of the new year on Thursday January 17th at The Grove at Centerton Country Club in Pittsgrove, NJ. John Robert Carman, President of NJCR, invited the slate of speakers and the well advertised seminar filled the room. NJCR hosted the seminar on the State of the Second Amendment in NJ, inviting CNJFO Vice President David "Rosey" Rosenthal, CNJFO Communications Director Theresa Inacker, Right to Carry Plaintiff Mark Cheeseman, and 2A Historian Jay Factor to each give a presentation to the room-filled audience.
Rosenthal led off the foursome with a presentation on how incrementalism of NJ firearms law has affected his 47 years of life experience with firearms. Inacker spoke of the impact of Constitutional law and how NJ blatantly obfuscates it, and how being that blatant & overbearing makes it even more likely for SCOTUS to grant Cert & hear the case. Cheeseman delivered an address outlining his 13 background checks, being denied a carry permit for "lack of urgent necessity", how a neighbor that doesn't like him could "swat" him with the new "Red Flag" law, and a promise to take the Cheeseman-Jillard lawsuits all the way to SCOTUS! 2A Historian Jay Factor gave us the history behind the infamous "Siccardi Rule" that led to NJ adopting its' "Justifiable Need" scheme without even voting on it, dispelled the myth of a National Guard needing to be the "well-regulated" part of the 2nd Amendment (well-regulated meant fighting farmers, tradesmen, and common folk having the necessary tools, arms, powder, ball & shot, as well as canteen & blanket roll), and other important historical references. The presentations ran till 9pm or so, and several attendees became new members of the Coalition, donated or bought swag & apparel.
Future CNJFO "Road Shows" are being planned throughout the state for this year as we hope to bring Freedom's message to your area soon. As details are made available we'll be sure to spread the word. NJCR's next guest speaker will be NJ State Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll.
