Gun control: New Jersey vs. Virginia

[michaelbane]

I just got back from NJ (I live right across the river in Philadelphia) after visiting my relatives for a family function. While the opportunity to visit my relatives makes it worth the trip, I always feel I have to take a shower when I get home to symbolicly wash off the filth of defenslessness.

Q: Can you get a concealed wepons permit to defend yourself?

A: In NJ, basically no unless you are retired law enforcement. In VA, yes if you meet the critera.

Virginia answer should actually be, "Yes, unless you are disqualified". We are a shall-issue state.

I think the "800" is made up, too. Maybe they're lumping DC in with us.

N.J. gun laws would have frustrated shooter

Which means he probably would have just gone to the black market and purchased things illegally and then gone on his murder spree. NJ would then blame Virginia for its slack laws which allowed guns to be smuggled up to NJ from Virginia to be put on the black market to begin with.

The leftist power bosses in the city and state governments know the numbers need to show they are effective. And they play games to make sure the statistics back them. Numerous scandals about fudging statistics in such jurisdictions. Baltimore and Boston come to mind. The FBI and CDC only report the data fed to them.
