I don’t know where you get the idea that you cannot own a gun in New Jersey, that is totally false. They don’t make it easy but it is not impossible by any stretch. From where I sit right now there are 4 gun shops within 10 miles.
Also, please tell me how many people YOU know who carry a pistol in New Jersey. Here in civilized Alabama, I can count on all ten fingers, and keep going. I have a loaded pistol on me right now, as I type this. I carry one everywhere I can. I open carry at the grocery store, even.
