I know this is impossible and probably has been discussed a million times, but who is the person who actually approves or denies the request? Is it the local chief of police? a judge in the same town? a NJ state judge?

 

Just trying to see where one has to be connected to get the elusive permit. Thanks in advance.

judge makes the final disapproval

I know 2 municipal court judges that were refused a CCW. If they can't get one no one in this state can.

Wow. Even cronyism won't get you a permit. How inconsistent with the rest of NJ politics.

Must be approved by your Police Chief and a Superior Court Judge in your county.

It's the policy of all the police chiefs I'm aware of to automatically deny all CCW permits so that they will go before a judge.

it has to go to a judge regardless

Thanks for the replies!

Not true. If you look at the SAF lawsuit, the guy who got kidnapped got approved by the State Police for a carry permit, but got denied when he got in front of the Superior Court judge.
