After terrorism this past weekend in France took the lives of about 130 people, and injured hundreds of others, thousands of New Jersyans are calling on the Governor to allow concealed gun carrying.
The petition already gained over 11,000 of the 15,000 needed signatures.
The following is the text of the petition:
“The terrorists in Paris yesterday executed innocent civilians, and not one person fired back. They have no right to keep and bear arms in France, like our 2nd Amendment here in the USA. No law abiding citizen was able to step up to stop the violence.
The same attack could happen here in New Jersey. Despite the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution stating ” the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,” law abiding citizens are barred from carrying a firearm outside their homes in New Jersey by an unconstitutional requirement of “justifiable need.” Such a vague statement allows State of New Jersey officials to decide, based on their feelings, whether or not a law abiding citizen meets the “justifiable need” to carry a firearm. Self defense is not considered a justifiable need. Currently, well over 40 states actively issue concealed carry permits to their constituents. Those states show a documented decrease in violent crime versus states that violate residents rights (fbi.gov).
Therefore, in light of the above, I call on Gov. Christie to issue an executive order defining the meaning of justifiable need adding self defense as a justifiable need to carry a firearm. The simple action by the Governor of defining what constitutes “justifiable need” will allow the citizens of New Jersey the ability to defend themselves and their families, as well as those around them, from any type of deadly attack.”

How foolish to not remember…NEVER AGAIN. Do you not see the rise of Antisemitism, anti Christian, the destruction of Judaeo-Christian beliefs? Those who are against lawful honest citizens carrying a gun for protection are like the sheep before the wolves. Stand and Fight, it is for the lives of you and those you hold dear. G-d believes in life.
i will be signing, I am thinking about moving to a state that allowes this because of the strict gun laws in NJ, theirs no reason why a law abiding citizen cant carry a gun.
To all the gun-phobic people out there who say that if this passes, nj will become like the wild west, please consider that approximately 43 states allow concealed carry for self defence and millions of people do all around the country. There are few to no recorded cases of where someone legally concealing a weapon committing a crime with it. There are however numerous cases where those people stopped assaults,robberies etc. Please spread the word about this petition.
I just signed please everyone do the same
