Good news for those in N.J. (I'm looking at you Rick)

Everyone saw the Supreme Court 2nd Ammendment victory the other day.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022 ... led-carry/
New Jersey’s acting Attorney General Matthew Platkin issued a June 24, 2022, directive to “All Law Enforcement Chief Executives and County Prosecutors.”

Platkin’s directive is titled, “Directive Clarifying Requirements for Carrying of Firearms in Public.”

The directive says:

Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision that impacts New Jersey’s permitting law but does not eliminate our overall permitting requirements. Under current New Jersey law, an individual can obtain a carry permit only if they can demonstrate to the reviewing officer that the applicant satisfies mandatory statutory requirements: (1) is “not subject to any of the disabilities which would prevent him or her from obtaining a permit to purchase a handgun or a firearms purchaser identification card,” (2) is “thoroughly familiar with the safe handling and use of handguns,” and (3) “[h]as demonstrated a justifiable need to carry a handgun.”…The decision in N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v. Bruen prevents us from continuing to require a demonstration of justifiable need in order to carry a firearm, but it does not prevent us from enforcing the other requirements in our law.

In the section on reviewing concealed carry permit applications, Platkin’s directive says:

In reviewing an individual’s application for a permit to carry, the applicable law enforcement agency shall continue to ensure that the applicant satisfies all of the criteria of N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4d and N.J.A.C. 13:54-2.4, except that the applicant need not submit a written certification of justifiable need to carry a handgun.

Platkin’s directive ends, “This Directive shall take effect immediately and remain in force and effect unless and until it is repealed, amended, or superseded by Order of the Attorney General.”

Breitbart News reported that SCOTUS’s ruling in NYSRPA v. Bruen struck down New York’s proper cause requirement for concealed carry permit issuance.

In the majority opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote, “We too agree, and now hold, consistent with Heller and McDonald, that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.”

This is true and the law has already changed to allow the CCW license to be issued BUT, The governor has issued orders to all his departments to research and implement rules on where and when you can carry. This is in direct violation to the new law so it is still going to be a battle. I am not rushing right out to get the license for a couple reasons. Mainly I doubt you can even get close to a police station to get the paperwork and I also figure the state is going to purposely drag the approval process out for each application as long as possible. Figure it takes roughly 2 months to get a pistol purchase permit so I figure 6 months for the CCW.

Saw a few other articles this weekend of other states retraction of the "justifiable need" for issuing a permit to carry a firearm.
