Many of us know Anthony Colandro and his Gun for Hire Podcast as a primary source of information regarding the 2nd Amendment in New Jersey. Are you one of the people that doesn’t have the time to listen for less than an hour each week yet you expect the information to be spoon fed to you on demand?
On October 25, 2023 at 11AM Eastern Time, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in the now-combined Koons/Siegel v. Platkin. In June of this year, a three-Judge panel of the 3rd Circuit reinstated large portions of the New Jersey carry killer bill that laid out a long list of sensitive places that are off-limits to concealed carry of firearms. The decision was outside of the bounds set forth in the Bruen decision and clearly unconstitutional. Now we have our day in court.
New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin loves to stay visible on social media and through press releases. It’s unfortunate that his words are meaningless and virtually powerless. It’s all an optics play.
ANJRPC continues to aggressively represent it’s members through litigation against New Jersey’s gamut of over-reaching and unconstitutional gun laws. Read about the most recent developments in the currently-consolidated cases of ANJRPC v. Platkin, Cheeseman v. Platkin, and Ellman v. Platkin.
Although we shouldn’t have to “qualify” to exercise a core civil right, the State of NJ has eased the PTC qualifications to a more reasonable level and extended the deadline to December 31, 2023, thanks to the hard work of Dan Schmutter and Scott Bach of ANJRPC, Evan Nappen, and Anthony Colandro (Gun for Hire).
Have a New Jersey PTC? You’re a target now.
If you have a PTC or are planning to get one, this article is for you. The 2nd Amendment is YOUR right and it’s incredibly important to exercise it intelligently and responsibly for myriad reasons.
New Jersey’s anti-gun government recently scored a big “win” with a 75-0 vote making gun trafficking (already a crime) into a crime…
The 3rd Circuit just opened the door to NJ suing gun manufacturers and circumventing PLCAA. How does the court justify this decision?
Wasting no time, today 2A attorney Daniel Schmutter filed an emergency motion seeking a TRO and a PI against New Jersey’s new ninja PTC qualification requirements.
The new training and qualification standards for New Jersey permit-to-carry holders have been released. There has been nothing but mass confusion amongst members of the public, gun ranges, lawyers, and even the police. Not to mention, the actual qualifications require the athletic acumen of a ninja to pass.
Keeping in line with the 3rd Circuit’s expedited schedule, the State of New Jersey has submitted their brief in defense of New Jersey’s “Carry Killer” law. Big surprise, they still contend that we shouldn’t be able to carry anywhere and somehow it satisfies Bruen.
With laws that don’t deter car theft and a pro-criminal Attorney General, New Jersey’s suburbs are an easy and frequent target. As we’ve seen, NJ AG Matthew Platkin tends to take it easy on career criminals while vowing to prosecute law-abiding gun owners to the fullest extend of the law.
