NJ Legislators are Douchebags

They are proposing a bill to exempt themselves from the "justifiable need" requirement, making concealed carry permits shall-issue to state legislators.

What douchebags!

     This bill provides that legislators, judges of the Superior Court, and municipal court judges will be issued permits to carry handguns in certain circumstances.

     Under current law, in order to be granted a permit to carry a handgun, an applicant is required to demonstrate “justifiable need.” Justifiable need is defined in the regulations, at N.J.A.C.13:54-2.4, as, “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.”

     This bill exempts legislators, judges of the Superior Court, and municipal court judges from the “justifiable need requirement.” Under the bill’s provisions, the permit to carry will be issued as long as the applicant is not subject to any disabilities set forth in current law and presents evidence of successful completion of at least eight hours of firearm safety training.
