Related: About this forumChris Christie vetoes anti-gun legislation
http://anjrpc.site-ym.com/page/ChristieVetoesShallWednesday August 24, 2016:
In a blockbuster announcement today, Governor Christie conditionally vetoed two pieces of anti-gun legislation (A3689 and S816), imposing dramatic conditions that would change them into pro-gun measures establishing shall-issue right-to-carry and repealing New Jerseys 2002 smart gun law mandate with no strings attached.
The conditional veto procedure allows the governor to reject legislation that reaches his desk and propose a re-written version to the legislature. If the legislature concurs in the conditions imposed by the governor, then the measure as re-written becomes law immediately. Otherwise, the legislation dies.
Governor Christie has made a bold and defiant statement to the legislature in support of the Second Amendment, said ANJRPC Executive Director Scott Bach. Not only has he rejected their medieval schemes to block self-defense, but he has fired back in a way that forces them to choose squarely between citizen empowerment or victimization in the post-Orlando era of terror attacks on U.S. soil.
One inescapable truth is that government cannot protect you when evil strikes, continued Bach. The only solution is citizen empowerment, and it is the legal, moral and Constitutional imperative of government to facilitate and not block self-defense.

"We are among only eight states that
have a burdensome and unreasonable standard. It is time to get
in line with the rest of the nation.
Therefore, I recommend eliminating the justifiable need
requirement altogether, which would enable an applicant to
obtain a concealed carry permit if that applicant is not
otherwise prohibited from obtaining a firearm and can
demonstrate familiarity with the safe handling of a handgun."

...and of course criminals. And we know where prohibitionists place the onus when it comes to these 2 groups.
