"Restore gun-carry rights in New Jersey

Monday, February 15, 2010

 

At least 40 states allow sane law-abiding citizens to complete a simple screening process to obtain a permit to carry a firearm for self-defense. New Jersey continues to treat its good citizens like criminals, but that may finally change.

 

State Sen. Mike Doherty, R-Warren-Hunterdon, has introduced the Citizens' Protection Act, Bill S-69, which will revise and simplify the procedures for securing a New Jersey carry permit. The bill was referred to the Law and Public Safety Committee, chaired by state Sen. John A. Girgenti, D-Passaic.

 

 

Nothing will happen with the bill unless Girgenti posts it for a vote, and his past voting record suggests he's no friend of gun owners. He will post it if enough people contact him and request it.

 

His office is at 507 Lafayette Ave., Hawthorne, NJ 07506, phone is 973-427-1229. Ask him to restore our constitutional rights by posting Bill S-69 as soon as possible."

 

 

Anyone know anything about this? Is this the same as A1384?

If there is any shot at this get everybody you know down to Trenton and bang on doors and get these MF's on record. And chase them around the Statehouse. Make sure to bring constituents of the districts of important people on committee. If this is real, and you set it up, email me and I will come as well. If it is real, I will contact activist organizations in PA and see if they are willing to show up.

Nope - S before the bill number indicates SENATE

A before the bill number indicates ASSEMBLY

 

They are not "the same" though they may be merged...

We all need to call and speak up.

Letter sent.

Called and left message.

Letter sent!!! been following this bill since 07 something has to change sooner or later we just got to keep trying :hope:

Letter sent as well.

 

Does Mr. Carroll know about this senate bill?

 

anyone know where the NJ State Constitution is?

 

we can add our own line about guns, all we need to do is get a job where ever they keep it, then we can be like look right here it says.. every man has the right of owning and carrying any weapon of his choice as long as that man has no tariffs.

Dear Senator Doherty,

Can you provide a link to the Citizens' Protection Act, Bill S-69

I'd like to read it.

Assemblyman Carroll has a bill A-1384 that may be similar:

http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2010/Bills ... 384_I1.PDF

There are those of us out here that would support your bill as we have with Mike Carroll's.

I actually attended the open forum this month and spoke on behalf of A-1384 and how I would like to see it debated and voted on.

As far as I know it is currently waiting on the Speaker Oliver to move it along.

Thanks.

Chris

^^ Good to hear

 

 

After reading it, I can't how anyone in the right mind, could deny such a bill. If it happens (which it probably will), legal action will be the only way after incorporation -- at least we know there are people on our side in NJ

HERE is the stumbling Block, you assume that Politicians, NJ politiciens especiually are in the "Right Mind".

Being fairly new to NJ, how often do these types of things come up and get shot down? Coming from someone new it seem to me like there is a big push for revised carry laws all of a sudden (1384 and 69) but for all I know this happens every year and they get shot down... whats the word here, is this pretty rare or do these types of bills come up frequently?

You'll breathe a big sigh of relief when the NRA wins the Mccdonald Case that's being heard by the supreme court...

 

Once the second amendment is incorporated into the states, all we will have to do is keep it from being mis-interpreted or regulated by the states...

Fixed that for you. NRA didnt want to know Diddley about either Heller OR McDonald until it was pretty certain that Gura would win it.

The bills have been proposed for a couple of years now. They never leave committee to be voted on at all.

I've read somewhere that this time around there is Democratic support for the first time, anyone know if 2010 is the first time this has happened?
