“It is now crystal clear that the State of New Jersey has no intention of ever respecting the right to defend yourself with a firearm outside the home, and will have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into compliance with the Heller and McDonald decisions”

So sayeth the Scott Bach, President of  the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs [above]. His statement follows the Garden State AG’s response to their lawsuit against the State of New Jersey’s “extreme and subjective handgun carry laws.” [Click here to download the pdf.] “As in its previous papers, the Attorney General again trashed the Second Amendment, arguing that the right to bear arms does not apply outside the home, and that New Jersey’s carry laws are constitutional and necessary to protect the public from those who legally carry firearms,” Bach adds. Will this stand? Not if the Second Amendment Foundation and the ANJRPC have anything to say about it. And they do. “With the help of our members and supporters we will fund this legal action all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court just like we did with McDonald vs. Chicago. This case will impact states all across the country.”
