"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.

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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
