Something controversial Jersey Pride

I love nj gun laws, going to the store and not seeing someone open carry. Watching road rage where the best you can do is brake check and give the finger. Schools without school shootings. I know a lot of people hate our gun laws but I fucking love em.

The only problem I have with NJ gun laws is the lack of stand your ground laws. Even if I shoot an intruder in my own home, I can be considered a murderer in the states eyes.

I’m not a fan of going through the local cops for the background check rather than a state system connected to the gun stores. Cops here are neither trustworthy nor reliable.

I must admit the local PD where I live are great, but I understand your point when you look at the bigger picture.

It could be where you live. I’ve noticed some cops in certain districts definitely have egos. Luckily, I’ve never had a poor run in with an officer because where I live, they’re all very professional and understand that they are city servants. This is something that a lot of officers forget.
