[Clemenza]

New Jersey's laws are not as noxious as those in New York (no need to "prove" that you need a handgun to own one), although we do have the equivalent of the FOID, which you are well aware of. When I brought my guns that I bought on the west coast and in Florida, had to fill out a registration form with the state police.

Marksmanship and defensive shooting classes can save your life and those around you. Just ask Huey Long and his bumbling body guards, who shot their boss instead of Mr. Weiss, at POINT BLANK RANGE!

Actually they shot their boss AND Dr. Weiss.

Tank Johnson just went to jail because of his violation of Illinois registration laws. Being raised in Arizona and attending Washington STate he was unaware of the Illinois restrictions and got cracked. That case will likely be thrown out of court but he was on probation for having a pistol in his car already so it was revoked.

Well to be fair though clemenza, NJ hasn't issued a concealed carry permit to anyone but a law enforcement officer in over 20 years. And even law enforcement staff have to give theirs back when they retire.

At least NYC will give you one if you make the right sized donation to the right PAC.
