Freedom is ringing!
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming is leading a coalition of 19 states that are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to allow them to submit a brief supporting a New Jersey man challenging that state’s concealed weapons law.
A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last summer ruled against the challenge from John M. Drake and others. Drake objected to a provision in New Jersey law that says people seeking permits to carry a concealed firearm must prove to police that they have a justifiable need.
The Wyoming attorney general’s “friend of the court” brief says Wyoming and other states are concerned that if the appeals court ruling stands, it could threaten their less-restrictive concealed carry laws.

The other states joining in the effort are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia.

Thank you from a NJ resident who wants his Constitutional right to bear arms.
Ditto, we’ve been fighting this fight in NJ for 30 years. Other than the liberals near NYC the state is pretty conservative and pro gun. Here in the southern region very rural and pro 2A. We need all the support nationally that can be provided. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP AND SUPPORT. God Bless!!!!
That’s true, I saw an episode of Wife Swap and the New Jersey mother was a school bus driver who lived on a small farm, I think they also hunted. Thanks for visiting the blog, Check out my T-Shirt.
