In Wake of SCOTUS 2A Ruling NJ Drops Justifiable Need

New Jersey – -(AmmoLand.com)- At the close of business today, and in light of the Bruen decision, the New Jersey Attorney General issued a directive to law enforcement agencies and prosecutors mandating that NJ carry permit applications now be processed WITHOUT an applicant having to prove “justifiable need.”

NJ Drops Justifiable Need for Concealed Carry Applications

The effect of this directive is to remove any doubt that the Bruen decision applies in New Jersey, and that someone applying for a concealed carry permit in the Garden State need only satisfy typical requirements, such as:

1. Passing state-mandated background checks.

2. Submitting three references.

3. Satisfying the state-mandated training requirement for firearms carry permits.

While Gov. Murphy has announced that he intends to try to limit carry in every way possible, whatever actions he tries to take will have to pass Constitutional muster under Bruen. Today’s announcement by the Attorney General is nothing short of EARTH-SHAKING and represents the culmination of decades of incredibly difficult work by gun owners.

It's a shame there isn't a justifiable need to search before posting: https://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=388419

It's even the same thread title.

I've complained about this before........

Any threads that are similar or same, SHOULD BE merged into the open forums that do not require you to be a member (& sign in) as does the lounge.

Killing threads that are outside the Lounge or merging threads INTO the lounge, I consider to be a disservice to all those who might otherwise read valid commentary and ideas about gun issues. Whether they are non-members or members, either, the open forums are a better place to create & explore PRO-GUN thoughts.

I've been a member here for a long time but prefer NOT to login every time I want to read posts on various gun issues or news.

Disagree if you must...
