Welcome from to you from a fellow New Jerseyian.
As to CC in NJ, unless you're active law enforcement, it's pretty much impossible. Exceptions... you're politically connected, or you carry large sums of money/gems/etc.
But don't let that keep you from the DC forum. There's lots of other great info.
And if you're like me, you're hoping that someday you'll be able to escape NJ for a more gun-friendly state.
So enjoy.
