Had 1/2 hour to kill this morning, so out of curiosity I looked up some stats: Florida Murder Rate (2012, per 100k): 5.2 (17th) The state with the lowest rate was New Hampshire of 1.1/100k. I grabbed stats from and Anti-CCW group Violence Policy Center. Including homicides (both convicted & or only indicted) and accidental shooting deaths for 2008 - 2012, but excluding suicides I counted 37 deaths (Dunn was included in the count). Which is an average of 7.4 per year. The average number of permit holders during that period was 725,301. Total permit holder causing an unlawful or accidental death: 0.001% per year or a rate of 1.02/100k. To put that in perspective, Northern Europe (UK, Sweden, Norway, etc.) average murder rate is 1.5/100k. Western Europe is 1.0/100k.

Good thing there are no states or laws that allow people to kill others over every little argument and then be absolved of their stupidity. Even Florida, which has been targeted in this thread, will prosecute such folk. Just read about Michael Dunn.

Hopefully the Court will make it legal for a law biding citizen to carry in NJ. I also want the court to do away with the process one has to go through to get a handgun (which you cant take outside your home). I will not write an essay to the chief of police to get a handgun permit.. This is goes against my constitutional right to bear arms.

Or you could get the staff to do something about it instead. We all feel like shooting people over every little argument but when it comes time to pay for the consequences, we don't want to end up somewhere that absolves us of our stupidity because the law says so.

The entire state of Vermont has the same population as Hudson County. Not to mention everything else that's different. Vermont doesn't have low crime because everyone carries guns, and everyone carrying guns here isn't going to turn NJ into a paradise. Knock it off with this dumb fixation on Vermont.

Florida has the highest number of Concealed Carry Permits (as of 2012). Pennsylvania is #2.
Some stats from Florida Dept. of Agriculture: Total permits issued since 1987: 2,591,478 Permits revoked due to criminal activity: 8,226 (0.32%) Current valid permits: 1,406,896 (Jan 31, 2014) Permit added in 2013: 109,971 Total permits in NJ (2012): about 32,000

Criminals are already armed and on our streets. I would like the option of being able to carry my own weapon, which I am proficient, practice and compete with on a monthly basis.
I hope to never have to shoot anyone but if it boils down to the safety of my loved ones, I would defend their lives. An outfit in Belleville Gun For Hire has realistic training courses from beginning to advanced: http://gunforhire.com/classes/simunitions-force-on-force/

The Cato Institute filed an Amicus Brief with the court. Excerpt (emphasis mine): Perhaps the most worrisome part of the lower court?s decision is the affirmation of a state?s restriction of a fundamental right to only those with a ?justifiable need.? New Jersey?s statute restricts the possession of non-permitted handguns, N.J. Stat. Ann. ? 2C:39-5(b), and grants permits only to individuals who can show: the urgent necessity for self-protection, as evidenced by specific threats or previous attacks which demonstrate a special danger to the applicant?s life that cannot be avoided by means other than by issuance of a permit to carry a handgun. N.J. Admin. Code ? 13:54-2.4(d)(1). By upholding the statute, the Third Circuit approved the conditioning of the exercise of a fundamental right on a citizen?s being able to prove, to a state official?s discretionary satisfaction, the special need to exercise it. As amicus Cato noted in its briefs supporting the Woollard and Kachalsky cert. petitions, this is a novel premise that entirely misconstrues the operation of fundamental rights. Br. of Amicus Curiae Cato Institute in Support of the Petition for Writ of Certiorari at 10, Kachalsky v. Cacace, 133 S. Ct. 1806 (2013) (No. 12-845); Br. of Amicus Curiae Cato Institute in Support of Petitioners at 4, Woollard v. Gallagher, 134 S. Ct. 422 (2013) (No. 13-42). It is inconceivable that other fundamental rights would be subjected to such a regime. For example, a law that conditioned a parade permit on a state official?s decision that a particular organization or cause ?needs? such a parade would be unquestionably unconstitutional?and so too here. 6 After all, constitutionalizing a right establishes by the highest law that individuals are entitled to act in certain ways if they wish, and thereby protects such conduct against legislators? prejudices and shifting fads. As this Court said in Heller, ?A constitutional guarantee subject to future judges? assessments of its usefulness is no constitutional guarantee at all.? 554 U.S. at 634. On that logic, allowing this decision to stand nullifies the constitutional guarantee of a right to bear arms in New Jersey. That is so even if state legislators were unsure whether the Second Amendment protected an individual right because they enacted the statute at issue before this Court decided Heller.

That?s right borisp, violent crime has been dropping?and with less danger to fear, there?s less need for our conscientious fellow citizens to shoulder the tremendous responsibility of carrying loaded firearms in public. Rejoice!

What, you think that Vermont is such a horrible place that you need to resist us turning into Vermont? Violent crimes plummeted in 2013 as gun sales skyrocketed

Welcome to the Wild West. Just wait as people start shooting each other here over loud stereos and texting during movie previews.
There are some laws which are stupid and others which are astronomically stupid. This goes in the latter.

NJ is one of a few states that is a 'may issue' when it comes to carrying weapons outside the home. In practice, NJ pretty much bans concealed carry since permits are so rarely issued.
'May Issue' has been overturned in the courts in Illinois (IL had no carry permits at all) and most recently, California (via the left-leaning 9th Circuit Court). The Supreme Court is now considering hearing a case that could overturn NJ's 'may issue' statute. From Scotusblog.com Drake v. Jerejian Pending petition Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term 13-827 3d Cir. TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD Issue: (1) Whether the Second Amendment secures a right to carry handguns outside the home for self-defense; and (2) whether state officials violate the Second Amendment by requiring that individuals wishing to exercise their right to carry a handgun for self-defense first prove a ?justifiable need? for doing so. Other than NJ, the following States restrict concealed carry by the general public: Maryland New York Delaware Rhode Island Massachusetts All other states are shall issue or unrestricted (Vermont, Alaska, Arizona) by law or in practice. The 3rd Circuit court recently upheld NJ gun restrictions.
