This Thursday, the New Jersey Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee will hear Assembly Concurrent Resolution 175/Senate Concurrent Resolution 101, designed to block the governor’s executive action on the incremental improvements to the state’s concealed-carry standard. 

NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action and the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC) vigorously supported New Jersey’s right to self-defense by testifying against ACR 175/SCR 101 at the beginning of May. However, SCR 101 passed the Senate and has now been scheduled to be heard next week.   

Anti-gun lawmakers, led by Democrat Sen. Loretta Weinberg, have been crystal clear that they oppose self-defense for ordinary citizens. More importantly, they completely oppose concealed carry in New Jersey.

NRA-ILA encourages New Jersey residents who care about the right to keep and bear arms to contact members of the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee and ask them to oppose ACR 175/SCR 101 by clicking here.
