I cannot read EpochTimes either. Perhaps this will help (Excerpted):
On page 11 Thomas mentions, specifically, six states which fail the test. According to the decision, six states require some special need beyond that of ordinary citizens for self defense. Those states are:
California, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Maryland. The District of Columbia is mentioned, with the caveat the law there has been enjoined by the lower court for several years. The laws in those states, by being mentioned, appear to this correspondent, to have been effectively struck down.
I live in MA. On all applications for reason I put down “livestock protection”. I’ve never been denied.

Many thanks for the info; I have relatives in NJ and CA.
