You have no idea how difficult it is to get a handgun permit here in NJ for home defense. Forget about CC. Never happen.
The municipality police chief has final approval. They can hold it indefinitely. Someone I'm acquainted with was actually denied a permit because renters on an adjacent property of his were involved in a domestic dispute.

My home defense weapon.
Free men don't ask permission.
Move. You can get on over here to Eastern NM / West TX and you would fit right in.
Come on over to Pennsylvania. You can walk into most county sherrifs offices and leave the same afternoon with a concealed carry permit. They only cost $19.95 and they're good for five years. No classes, no tests, no hassle. If you're smart enough to put $19.95 together, you're trustworthy enough to carry concealed.
If you've got the money, Pennsylvania trusts it's citizens with full automatic weapons. NO magazine restrictions, no bullet restrictions.
