Talking about it in the GD thread. Gov. Chris Christie, citing the recent murder of a Berlin Township woman, on Monday created a panel to recommend possible changes to New Jersey gun laws.
Christie said the three-member study commission may identify changes “ to remove unnecessary restrictions that interfere with the exercise of rights under the 2nd Amendment while maintaining public safety.” An executive order said Christie would name appointees with “expertise in criminal law,” but did not identify any members.

Here's how I predict it going down: the commission will recommend streamlining of the FID and pistol permit system and requiring they all actually be issued within 30 days. Attached to this bill will also be anti-gun changes to get it through the dem legislature, most notably a ban on private sales. The ideal scenario would be eliminating pistol permits all together and just treating them the same as long guns. I don't see the FID cards going away but requiring them to be issued in 30 days and using it in lieu of individual handgun permits would be a great improvement over the status quo.

Cristie didn't announce any changes to NJ gun laws; not a single one.

Honestly I believe thatt due to his presidential candidacy he's only looking to make himself appear to be pro gun rights with his announcement and nothing more or less. I don't expect any real, substantive, changes to the laws. |

FID cards are ok. But I would like to see the one a month rule overturned. Thats horseshit. If I want 3 at a time, I should be allowed to legally buy 3 at a time. Talk about a blatant violation of rights. I dont even know how we let that happen. Purchase permits would be nice to see go by by but never gonna happen. All they can do is enforce whats already there in the 30 day allotment that its supposed to be. Nothing else will change. What I want to see more then anything is the national right to carry come to fruition. Never will but thats our only hope on turning the tide on NJ carry laws and justifiable need.

View Quote I'd actually like to see the opposite. Leave the 1-gun-a-month (for now), but eliminate the purchase permit. It's redundant. Since NJ is already the POC for NICS, they can easily track and enforce the 1-gun-a-month. Beyond that, everything on the purchase permit is already in your FID. It's the same background check, and the same check that runs through NICS at the time of purchase. This was actually proposed by democratic-sponsored legislation - the firearms omnibus bill a couple of years ago. Of course, that also had FIDs expiring after 5 years, tied in to your driver's license, administered by the DMV... lots of nonsense. So, it's possible (in my mind) that we could see an elimination of the purchase permit. I mean - if you can walk in and buy an AR-15 assault rifle death killing machine, why not a .22 revolver? |

View Quote But that's exactly why nothing gets done. Too many "it's all or nothing... give me liberty or give me death" types who don't understand the concept of incremental change - ie. baby steps. What we have right now is an opportunity - albeit a small one. Nonetheless, there's the potential to get SOMETHING done. But it can't be too radical, or it will die in committee. |

The 3 person committee will recommend streamlining to the system. A bill may get drawn up, or it won't. It will either die on the vine, or get laced with anti-rights legislation add-ons. Nothing good will come of it, of that you can be certain. Do any of you believe the anti-rights politicians that are in power in NJ will pass a law easing the restrictions on gun purchases? Are you all mad? PPP, FPIDs, AWB, OGAM, CCWBAN, and 60-90 day waits are here to stay ladies and gents. The sooner you come to terms with this, and decide whether or not it means enough to you to motivate you move out of the state, the sooner you will be at peace. |

You've got me pegged wrong, check out my defense of christie in GD With a username like "Foxnews_FTW" and defending a blue state republican, i'm about to lose a whole lot of internetz-popularity this cycle, all in defense of incrementalism and understanding that a blue state republican governer with a D legislature is much different than say a red state congressman's voting record |

The fat man is just trying to look pro gun for the national stage. He has the power to do something without creating a panel, etc, etc. The State Attorney General can be instructed by the fat man to take action against any town currently violating the 30 day rule. Hell go after the town that didn't provide the poor woman with a permit within the 30 day window. Go after one or two towns hard and the rest will conform, hell withhold state aid to any municipality that violates peoples rights. Take a page from the Obomination's playbook and have your AG go on the attack !

No, Sorry Lion....He's LOOKING to appear electable as a Republican..no more, no less. EVERYTHING he does is about the political capital..period. The Vetos?? To piss off the Democrats and piss in their cereal over Bridgegate. Shaneen Allen, Steffon Josey-Davis, and now this are all Politics in motion...Don;t get me wrong, if something good Comes of it, Outstanding, but im not going to hold my breath. Remember Brian Aitken...that was a Commutation, not a pardon, and his conviction was a LESSER offense than either Allen or Davis. |

CCW will never happen in NJ....ever. Too many Dems running the state to ever be able to change it even with SCOTUS help which isn't coming in my lifetime
