NJ Update from the acting Attorney General "Although the majority’s ruling impacts our century-old justifiable need requirement for carrying firearms, it does not change any other aspect of New Jersey’s public carry law." The NJ AG will be issuing a guideline to all PDs, namely having to give a...

Going to be hard to overcome the dicta in Thomas's opinion: "That said, respondents’ attempt to characterize New York’s proper-cause requirement as a “sensitive-place” law lacks merit because there is no historical basis for New York to effectively declare the island of Manhattan a “sensitive...

I stopped at the last concurring opinion, the three in the minority are predictable. I guess as an academic exercise it may be fun but the convoluted logic is too depressing for me, ha.

Here in NJ it appears you can simply go to your local PD and apply and reference today's ruling. Ultimately a Superior Court Judge is the issuing body and since most judges/lawyers can read a SCOTUS order and understand it, should be a slam dunk. While the legislature and governor figure out how...

I would disagree. The elephant in the room is “justifiable need” or however they word it. The issuing authority asks why and you give an answer. Your answer and the subjective whim of a judge determines everything. SCOTUS will answer whether that violates a protected right. Of course, it does...

That may be true as well. We may never know how these things are conferenced. One thing that may help us in NJ are all the new Trump appointees on the Federal circuit and court of appeals. If you remember the carry case in Illinois, we won at the court of appeals and the dark forces compelled...

Not necessarily, as someone pointed out on another forum, if the conservatives can't get 5 people on the same page in conference, even if they had 4 to grant cert they won't. Reason? It's a waste of time since they already know the outcome. Said another way, many of the large sweeping cases are...

========================================================================= Page 10 is irrelevant, it's dicta. The only thing that matters is the last page, the order The vote by the justices only concerns the order, everything else is non binding In United States legal terminology, a dictum...

If you have a NJ FPID you can travel anywhere anytime for any reason with an unloaded long gun. That restriction only applies to handguns. I live in NJ

Heard that same thing from a vet who was a boat captain in the Caribbean, US registered boat instead of a state.

Drake has been working its way to SCOTUS since 2010, there is no other carry case left at appeals, 9th circuit covers Hawaii and plaintiffs in the 2 California cases, the sheriffs, said no mas. Wouldn't it be crazy if the Garden State was ground zero in restoring the right once and for all...

I was pleasantly surprised that IL did not challenge the court of appeals when they lost, I'm further surprised that Gore has said he wouldn't challenge. Makes me think they are getting a phone call from someone telling them to stand down. If the tyrants win in the lower courts they have no say...

In NJ we have a "good moral character" clause in the statute for ownership and carry of firearms. As far as I know, the gatekeeper for this has been the reference check. If an applicant's references find no reason for the town to deny a permit (carry, purchase, own), then you are of good moral...

Great Link Page for Cases in the System Found this forum page, seems to be accurate and up to date for most of the 2nd Amendment civil rights cases: http://www.mdshooters.com/showpost.php?p=759313&postcount=1

NJ Carry Case There is one more in the system, Drake v. Filko is the NJ civil rights carry case. It is basically the same as the MD and the NY cases that were denied review by SCOTUS. Maybe the third time is a charm? Not sure what is the tipping point for the justices to decide what to hear.

Similar to Banned Named Firearm Depends, a current production M1 Carbine clone was legal then illegal in a few days time. State Police wrote a letter saying it was OK then the AG got wind and said no. You may be taking a chance but if your FFL transfers it to you (assuming it's an out of...

Scalia said in an interview he wouldn't retire because he likes what he's doing. Kennedy also stated publicly that he would not retire as long as Obama is in office. Ginsburg's health is an issue. It appears only Ginsburg may be vulnerable because of her health.

If a family member wants to bring his gun to WV and can legally have it in WV, what's to keep him from storing it in your safe so it's there the next time he comes to visit?

Chicago exempt? "no preemption laws so Chicago can still effectively keep their ban" If the judge's order is directed at the state, wouldn't that be preemptive in and of itself since Chicago is in the state? Unlike a law created outside of a judicial ruling which could mimic what they have...

Il ccw IL legislators may offer up a "shall issue" scheme like we have in NJ which places a "justifiable need" clause in the application. That would be consistent with the dicta of the opinion when it referenced the Kachalsky v. Cacace case in NY. If that's what you get and the court of appeals...
