I thought it was a great meeting last night. Honestly, I came in not having very high expectations, but I loved Alex's focus and plan of action, and I'm really excited. And thanks for accomodating us Northern NJ members!

Is there an outline available?  Did someone take notes?  I got home late and forgot about it until I saw a post or two at 8:30 on facebook right after I finished my dinner.

They distributed something, but I got there a bit late and didn't get a copy. He's 100% focused on CCW and taking the offense. He's following a 3-prong approach: 1) lobby for national CCW reciprocity to include non-residents, 2) take advantage of Christie's presidential aspirations to push him to change the admin code to count self defense as justifiable need, 3)  put on a big push to recall Stephen Sweeney, working together with other groups that he's pissed off. 3b) take an activist role in state legislative elections where anti-gunners won by narrow margins. While a Loretta Weinberg might be untouchable, we can make clear to other politicians that our dissatisfaction with her anti-gun stance will be taken out on them.

all of that is awesome....

Thanks for the report. Couldn't make last night but will be at the meeting on the 20th.

Totally agree!  I think Alex brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our cause.  I was the guy in the middle of the room who expressed that, and praised him for focusing on CCW, which can get people excited, rather than getting bogged down in mundane tasks like getting municipalities to honor their permitting requirements.  

 

I also mentioned how it would be good to coordinate our efforts with others who are working on this project,

like Albert Almeida (who was present at the meeting and has posted on this forum), and Dwight Kehoe at TPATH, who is working on a Second Amendment Protection and Preservation Project in our state:  http://www.tpath.org/sappa.html

 

P.S., boo, thanks for posting that.  I meant to put something up about the meeting, but had not gotten around it.

I couldn't make the meeting but I am going to re-join right now. Thanks for posting!
