I have a great idea to further the carry cause in n.j instead of the famous last words "well Jersey Sucks" why dont we freakin do something. i live in ocean county i think it would be great if we get 50 or 100 of us to open carry in our front yards on a chosen sunday. wouldnt that do something? there will probably be arrests made, but hey theres nothing illegal about it and we'll get in the news and we'll keep doing it until we get our foot in the door. do i have any volunteers? lets stop talking and start doing!

Damn, I live in another state, but grew up in Monmouth county. Great idea Eric, hope it works out. Looks like not much in the way of response so far. Keep up the idea, just make sure you think it out. Video it at each persons house with their own cameras, make sure that all are just going about their normal routine in the yard so the anti-gunners don't call LEO's stating that a man with a gun is waving it in the air. Protect yourselves so that the LEO can't cover up something based on a bogus report. No drinking, not a good idea to have BBQ and then get lit up. If the LEO do enter your property with out a warrant and your drunk, it just makes a bad thing worse. All the ducks need to be in a row.
Good luck, hope something like this is organized and will be looking out for future info on how well it went. NJ needs this big time. Maybe the guys in Paterson is it, with the curfew can do this too. Let the BG's know they can't control the town.

Haha, me too. I can't imagine sitting on my lawn in Marlboro, in McMansionland, with a gun on my hip.

It's going to be a tough sell in a state that could be THE most anti-gun in the country. They almost never give out carry permits, and those that do probably NEVER open carry(except uniformed security).
The best bet for NJ gun rights is going to be lawsuits after the McDonald,Palmer v. DC, Sykes cases are decided. This will make a number a NJ's laws unconstitutional. What a protest does is try to influence the legislature, which is stubborn. There has been a shall-issue bill for 10 years now, each time it never gets to a vote because 1 assembly member can always block it. That's unfortunately, the reality in NJ.

what exactly would you be protesting and how is expressive conduct of open carry going to help your message?
Sounds like a bad idea to me - like those people showing up to Presidential health care events with long guns - confused message.
Why do'nt folks with carry pemrits in New Jersey start open carrying in normal life?

Mike,
There are a very small number of permits handed out in NJ, so if the legal ones/CCW holders were to carry OC on the lawns on Sat cutting crass, not gonna even be noticed.
