"At a recent town hall meeting in Whippany, Gov. Chris Christie was asked if he would make N.J. the 48th state to recognize the right to carry a firearm for self-protection. He replied that although he supports the Second Amendment, it would require an act of the legislature to change the law."
"N.J. offers a permit to carry a handgun but the statute requires you to demonstrate 'justifiable need' to be granted such a permit. The definition of 'justifiable need' is so onerous that qualification is nearly impossible. Interestingly, this definition of 'justifiable need' is not found in the statute. The definition of 'justifiable need' is found in the administrative code which was written and adopted by the executive branch." ... |

Christie is a RINO of the first order. The only reason he is suddenly in favor of relaxing gun controls is that he is running for President and has to distance himself from NJ's draconian gun restrictions.
If he were to win the nomination, I would find someone else to vote for. More then likely a third party candidate. He is the only one of the ten or so individuals mentioned as republican presidential contenders that I would not vote for.
Don't expect Christie to do anything for NJ gun owners. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
