Open carry might work
I was open carrying today, and it's no problem in Alaska, or Arizona, where I have a winter home. Open carry in NJ and people would be totally freaking out. 911 would be overloaded, all schools with 30 miles would go on lockdown, the Emergency Broadcast System would be activated and people would be told to shelter in place, every police officer within 50 miles would be racing to the scene, SWAT would called out and the National Guard would be called up by the governor.
And that’s just for starters.
As a sixty-three year resident of New Jersey, let me assure you that AlaskaEric is not exaggerating in the least bit. If anything, he might be understating the case. If you haven’t experienced N.J. you just cannot conceive of their paranoid cluelessness.
