Oh, different story (with a happier ending)
Uh, no, not in the Peoples Republik of Neu Jerzey - no carry licenses issued to mere subjects, not since the late 1960s. My father was a surgeon with narcotics in his office, and he was told by the local PD that there's no way he could get a carry license, even with coming out to the office in the middle of the night to handle emergencies quite often. He was told to call the cops and request an escort in the future - with the result being that he told all emergencies to meet him at the hospital ER and not his office. He knew they'd show up once or twice, then be "busy" then start not showing at all and making him feel like a burden on the system. So much for the State being on the side of the ordinary, decent, responsible citizen.
I'm am very glad to be in a shall issue state, one that even allows non-license holders to carry in their cars.
What can I say... Sometimes I forget that there are places where you aren’t allowed to carry.
Amen. That was a big reason why I moved from Cali to FL.
