USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Second Amendment of the United States is not negotiable. The right to bear arms is not a privilege like a driver’s license; it is an inalienable right.
As such, it should not be infringed upon by any judge, panel, or group of politicians. The right to carry a concealed weapon is an extension of the Second Amendment and therefore is not negotiable.
Within ten day of being elected governor of the State of New Jersey, I intend to propose a number of changes to New Jersey’s firearms laws.
These changes will provide the citizens of our state a clear and constitutional pathway to purchase firearms and carry concealed weapons. One change will be very simple. When you get your permit to purchase, you will not need to get an additional permit to carry.
One permit, period!
Currently, a New Jersey citizen must demonstrate justifiable need in order to carry a concealed weapon. This requirement is unconstitutional and unlawful and places an undue burden of proof on private citizens.
In my view, we all possess justifiable need in these times of unchecked terrorism and rising crime. Each citizen should have the choice to defend him or herself in the event of a terrorist attack or violent crime. Trained law abiding citizens carrying their own concealed weapons can be another level of protection in the event of a terror attack or violent criminal act. As Governor, I will direct the State Attorney General to end all litigation regarding justifiable need.
I am not beholden to special interests, political operatives, or the establishment politicians. I represent you, the people of New Jersey, and pledge to always do what is best for us all. It will be my job as your Governor to ensure that any decisions made by our state government keep you and your family safe and further your ability to pursue the American dream.

We live and learn. My own hard hardheadedness or perhaps thickheadedness has, at one time or another, caused me some inconvenience. That said, i thought it was worthwhile then, still do. In-so-far as President Trump goes, it might be that he needs some encouragement from the people,concerning ridding us of some of Obama’s anti constitutional,anti civil rights executive orders. Some things require action from the congress, other things, the president can do by himself, though some encouragement from the countryside could always help.
No mention of NJSP use of secret ‘ no fly lists ‘ , prone to mistakes and with ZERO due process.
**** The ‘ Permits ‘ exist for CONFISCATION …… why else have them , they do not deter / reduce crime ?
Good luck NJ.

Re your comment on Jury Nullification, and the possible result or aftereffect on a juror who so voted, their not being called upon again, perhaps. That said, Rome was built one stone at a time, and if more prospective jurors became aware of their potential power, and exercised same, there are more potentially rebelious jurors than there are “authorities”.
One of several things that simply isn’t going to happen. At least not likely in our lifetimes, though the end result of your expirement would be more than a little interesting to see.
Re the law concerning firearms and the possession and or carriage of same, who is it that determines whether or not a citizen’s “need” is valid. Currently, it appears to be some so-called “public servant”, with a vested interest in maintaining the power structure of “our thing”. The stink inherent in such a system permeates the air from coast to coast.
So mr. nichols hasn’t got a nickles worth of sense when it comes to the INTENT of the 2nd Amendment. Mostly the Right to keep (in any form) and bear (in any form) arms “shall NOT be infringed”. Concise. To the point. NO encroachments. No strings attached. Doesn’t matter whether it’s open carry or concealed. Upside down or inside out. No restrictions. Besides as Jefferson noted a long time ago (much later in 1823!) as valid today even more so. “On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect… Read more »
