How stupid can New Jersey get? Glad you asked. I have seen the unicorn. Seriously. I have seen my first (and probably last in my lifetime) New Jersey carry permit. Did you know current LEOs need a carry permit in New Jersey? Yep. I have a buddy who is a full time LEO over in the peoples republic...he happens to run a business part time. To carry in that capacity, he needed to get a carry permit for his business. I thought he would be covered under LEOSA. Nope. In Jersey if you're a cop and want to make some money on the side part time AND wish to be able to protect yourself, you must get a permit.
