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.

But man, if you ever want to go see a movie and not have to put up with people texting or having cell phone conversations, Florida is a paradise.


Shooting a rude texter in a theater is maybe over the top, but you should be able to taze them repeatedly until they stop.

P.S. 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


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.

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.

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.

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.
