New Jersey Sued Over Blocked Access to Retired Police Permit Data

Summary

Investigative journalist John Petrolino is suing New Jersey over blocked access to retired police permit data, which he believes is essential to uncover potential racial discrimination in the state's "shall issue" concealed carry permit system. This comes after the Bruen decision forced New Jersey to adopt the "shall issue" regime, yet Petrolino's research suggests ongoing discrimination in application approvals and denials.
