NJ drops "demonstrate a need" requirement

That was quick. I was expecting NJ to hold out for as long as possible on this like NY and Cali. Hopefully it doesn't take any more lawsuits to start seeing carry permits get issued in those states.

NJ Drops 'Justifiable Need' Requirement for Concealed Carry

Acting AG of New Jersey, Matthew Platkin, issued a June 24, 2022, directive to "All Law Enforcement Chief Executives and County Prosecutors."

Always heartwarming when a BS law/regulation bites the big one. :s0155:

I could never understand the whole may issue, good cause requirement etc. in the first place. Bunch of BS to begin with so it's good that the anti gun states are getting their idiotic laws into the shredder.

What a load of horse patooky! The only justifiable need they should have is a good look at the news!

If you really want to piss off a progressive just remind them that they lost abortion & concealed carry with a dem leader in office

It's a state level issue now. On both concealed carry and abortion, the SCOTUS rulings didn't change a thing in Oregon.

And it'll keep it from changing (too much) in the future!

My friends in New Jersey are ecstatic about this. NJ was stricter than NY to get a carry permit in. In NY it depends on your county but in NJ they go through NJSP and they basically denied everyone. I read somewhere that NJ, which has a population of 8.5 million, only had like 1000 active CCWs.
