I'm currently living in Chesapeake VA and I travel across the border where I'm stationed in E-City NC in the USCG. And I have enjoyed being stationed in southern states due to my love for handguns and the 2nd ammendment and having a ccw. But unfortunately I'm getting out next month due to a medical retirement. and my wife and I are going back to are home state of NJ and I read it's hard to get a ccw there from packing.org I wanted to talk to someone 1st with a ccw in that state and tell how hard it was for them!

I'm not NJ but - from all I can gather - hell may freeze over first, before a regular Joe could get a CCW there.

I have to ask tho - even if it is your home state - is it really worth returning to a 2A repressive state as a long term move? I do not say that to try and inflame - just that I feel more than a little sympathetic to all folks who cannot gain their rights to carry.

I'm hoping being a disabled vet with a good backround and trying to enter the private security field where most companies require a ccw permit will be good enough reason for the superintendant to signoff on my application. i'm looking for some input on that theory what do you guys think?

Your reasoning makes sense OK - and you'd deserve to have one granted but - just the pessimist in me makes me wonder if it would actually happen.

I'll leave it tho to NJ guys to comment - and hopefully give you some useful info.

I think if you have the proper licensing for the private security or PI work your argument would hold water. Good luck.

Former NJ resident here.....CCW is a tough sell in the Garden State, but given what your qualifications and objectives are....it's not beyond the realm of impossibility.

Oh lord, stay in Ol Virginie! The possession of hollow point ammunition (NJ) in some circumstances is a felony I was informed!!!!

It's legal to use hollow points for target practice but not self defense.

My quasi-intimate knowledge of nj ccw is that you need an act of congress or be well connected to get one. I do believe if you get one for a job such as security, they can put a restriction on it where it's only valid while you're working. Depending on where in nj you're looking to move to may I suggest PA.

I'm not from there, I refuse to go there for any reason, and I have a best friend living there. If he wants to see me he comes to MN, or we meet in the middle. I strongly urge you to seek employment elsewhere.
