Got this letter back from Senator Bucco today in response to my concern about NJ going to Mini sized magazines:

 

 

Thank you for your correspondence and concern regarding gun control laws. I can appreciate your contacting me about this important issue.

 

As you know, New Jersey already has stringent restrictions on firearms.

We are ranked number 2 in the nation, only behind California, in the Brady Campaign's state by state rankings on gun control. New Jersey already bans the sale and possession of assault weapons and high capacity magazines (more than 15 rounds to a clip). Our state also requires that all gun purchasers are required to submit to a background check through the State Police and FBI databases. Finally, handgun permits are issued only if an applicant can demonstrate reasonable need.

 

As a result of the tough laws already in place in our state, I feel there is not more that can be reasonably done at the state level given these tight restrictions. Please know that I will keep your concerns in mind if or when I have the opportunity to vote on legislation concerning gun control.

 

I welcome your continued input on matters of interest and concern to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me about this or any other issue.

 

Sincerely,

Tony Bucco

Encouraging. Now, let's see if he follows through.

" Finally, handgun permits are issued only if an applicant can demonstrate reasonable need."

 

I hope he means concealed carry permits.

" Finally, handgun permits are issued only if an applicant can demonstrate reasonable need."

Yes- let's hope so. But even P2Ps are taking months to get so it seems like we have to demonstrate need!

Yea, caught that flub... Close enough...

 

" Finally, handgun permits are issued only if an applicant can demonstrate reasonable need."

 

I hope he means concealed carry permits.
