Hat tip to ryan j at MDshooters...
NJ's reply is in.
This brief is absolutely stunning, I can't believe they actually believe what they wrote:
According to the Ninth Circuit, the Second
Amendment requires “that the states permit some
form of carry for self-defense outside the home.”
Peruta, ___ F.3d ___, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 2786, at
*78. New Jersey’s Handgun Permit Law does precisely
this.
They seriously are trying to make SCOTUS believe that CA's scheme is somehow remarkably different than NJ's. It's flat out laughable. In fact, I'll bet your odds of landing a permit in CA (outside of maybe SF) are much much higher than NJ. The brief is flat out delusional : In New Jersey, on the other
hand, the Superior Court “shall issue” a permit to
carry if it is satisfied that the applicant is a person of
good moral character, is not subject to any enumerated
disability, is thoroughly familiar with the safe
handling and use of handguns, and has a justifiable
need to carry a handgun. N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:58-4(d).
Thus, California’s law gives the sheriff more discretion
to refuse to issue a permit than the New Jersey law.
