I live in NY and have had an unrestricted CCW permit for several years. A CCW permit is not all that hard to obtain unless you live in NYC or Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Albany, Onodanga, Monroe, or Erie County.
What stinks is that if you have a CCW for upstate, you still can’t carry in NYC unless you have an endorsement from the NYPD. But if you’re “lucky” enough to have a NYC issued unrestricted permit, you can carry all over the state. Total arbitrary and capricious crap, and is racist in it’s roots. See the Sullivan law. People that support this bilge are supporting laws that were intended to disarm minorities, though they’ll never admit to that. As far as NJ is concerned, I think in order to qualify for public office, you have to openly declare your hatred for anything related to the 2nd Amendment. Merely mentioning the word “gun” in front of a judge, may get you sentenced to 7 years in States prison, because of all of the carnage and mayhem that law abiding citizens create when they decide to arm themselves!!!!!
