The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, the official NRA state affiliate, has taken initial steps to overturn the NJ State Police training requirements that were issued last week.
Those requirements absurdly compel ordinary citizens to meet the same training requirements as members of law enforcement in order to obtain a carry permit.
Requiring average citizens to meet police-level training requirements is being mandated purely to make it much harder for the average citizen to qualify to obtain a carry permit in the first place.
Additionally, many of those requirements relate solely to law enforcement functions having nothing to do with the exercise of self-defense rights by average citizens.
Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs counsel Dan Schmutter has asked the lower federal court in the carry-killer lawsuit to reopen the case to assert new claims to overturn the new training regulations. On our Carry Lawsuit Filings page you can scroll down to item #30 to see a copy of those papers. Assuming the request is granted, additional papers detailing the claims will be filed (and we will issue another alert at that time).
In a future alert, the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs will be seeking gun owners interested in joining the lawsuit if they meet certain criteria which will be specified. Please watch for that alert.

The NJ State Police have functioned like the Stasi, KGB, and Gestapo since they were formed. They are evil to the core and these new rules are just the latest step taken against the people of NJ. Sooner or later the people of NJ are going to have to rectify the situation with this criminal government.
Never in my life would I have believed a day would come when Americans would be forced to move to certain states to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not to mention the God given right to self protection.
I wonder how many NJ po-po that are currently carrying, could meet the new over-the-top training requirements?
And if they couldn’t/can’t/won’t meet those requirements, will they have their guns taken away from them?
Or will this be another case of “privilege”, and “special ones”, and “only ones”?
The carousel of gun haters. Storage, background and firearm proficiency. No proof/compliance ever satisfactory.
But you’ll notice they don’t want to get rid of the illegal permitting system itself. Totally corrupt organization that is no friend to gun owners or the 2nd amendment.
