State senator proposes liberalizing NJ gun-carry law
September 26th, 2010 7:48 am ET
A South Jersey senator has proposed a new law considerably liberalizing New Jersey's concealed-weapons-carrying laws, but the whopping fee and required proficiency demonstration will not make this new law attractive to libertarians.
Matt Friedman of The Star-Ledger (Newark) Statehouse Bureau reported yesterday on the bill, S2264, which Senator Jeff Van Drew (D-Cape May) actually introduced last Monday. It amends the current concealed-carry law (NJS 2C:58-4) to allow a person to carry a gun for reasons going far beyond the current standard. According to current law, an applicant may receive a concealed-carry permit only if he satisfies his local police chief, and then a judge, that he has a "justifiable need" to carry a handgun. Van Drew's new law, among other things, strikes that.
