Do I have to demonstrate “justifiable need” to exercise my *First* Amendment rights? Or *Fifth*?

[Pox]

This is a crucial showdown. Either they go 5-4 in favor of continuing the union, or they go 5-4 to incite the Second American Revolution, IMO.

Can I stop paying my taxes until the government demonstrates a "justifiable need" for them?

Can I, huh, can I?

If people believe that the police are public friends as in the yesterday they need to make a redo on what has been changing. The police forces of today are just that i.e. forces of established government and unions. They are a quasi government that sets their own agenda with the help of sniveling local politicians. There are probably individual police types who would like to be of the old school but they too like the guaranteed income and perks without hassles. When was the last time you heard that the public except for sheriffs had a chance to pass on a police chief?

Imo, the supreme court in nj is part of the problem, and this is just another dog and pony show.

Why would they give a damn about other people having the right to carry?
Does anyone really believe that any judge in that court doesn't carry if they choose to?

They all use rights that they steal from others.

BANG!

FReepmail me if you want off of my New Jersey ping list. Does any one keep a New Jersey ping list besides me? Are there any volunteers for a copy of my list.

I'm from NYC. Somebody from New Jersey should have a list for stories like this, IMHO. Good luck with the appeal.

I won't get my hopes up.

This is the august body of Solomonic judgment that gave us the illegal Lautenberg II.

I live in the PRNJ, buy my guns from Bud’s and have them shipped to an FFL in the PRNJ. The FFL applied for a ccw permit because he has lots of guns on his premises but felt the need to actually bear one or two on him outside of the premises because his FFL job makes him a prime target. When his application got to the judge, he was turned down because he did not demonstrate sufficient need. I’d love to see this appealed all the way.

The mere requirement for any permit or registration in any state is an infringement on out second amendment rights, let alone having to prove a “need”.

[dynachrome]

Living in New Joisey is “justifiable need”. or kali-fornia or any other liberal craphole.

[JerseyHighlander]

As Evan Nappen will no doubt explain at a later date, this lawsuit has very little chance of even a partial success. Between New Jersey’s State Constitution not have a 2nd Amendment and the Heller decision, there is no reason this state can not choose the default position as allow or deny for CCW permitting.
