The lead plaintiff in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saf.org\/viewpr-new.asp?id=346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit against the state of New Jersey<\/a>, Jeffrey Muller was finally granted a handgun carry permit by Judge David Ironson. Back in March, <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2011\/03\/what-hell-is-wrong-with-judges-in-new.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this same judge had denied it<\/a>. I&#8217;m not sure what changed the judge&#8217;s mind but it is about damn time.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>NJ JUDGE ISSUES PERMIT TO PLAINTIFF IN SAF LAWSUIT<\/p>\n<p>\nBELLEVUE, WA &#8211; A New Jersey judge today announced he will issue a gun permit to one of the plaintiffs in a Second Amendment Foundation lawsuit against several New Jersey officials for deprivation of civil rights under color of law, because applicants cannot show a &#8220;justifiable need&#8221; for a permit.<\/p>\n<p>SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb said today this &#8220;clearly indicates that our lawsuit is proper, and we are encouraged to press our case to its conclusion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Morris County Superior Court Judge David Ironson announced after a hearing in his courtroom this morning that a permit will be issued to lead plaintiff Jeffrey Muller. His application had languished for six months before Judge Philip Maenza, a defendant in the federal lawsuit, denied the permit without a hearing on the grounds that Muller did not have a &#8220;justifiable need.&#8221; Muller had been kidnapped by members of a motorcycle gang who threatened to kill him, in a case of mistaken identity. Several suspects have been arrested in that case, and Muller&#8217;s application for a permit had gained support from local and state police.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Finally,&#8221; Gottlieb said, &#8220;one judge has done the right thing, but it took a federal lawsuit to make it happen. Our other plaintiffs are pushing ahead with the lawsuit so we can put an end to this practice once and for all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SAF is joined in the lawsuit by the Association of New Jersey Rifle &amp; Pistol Clubs, Inc. and several private citizens whose applications for permits to carry have been denied generally on the grounds that they have not shown a &#8220;justifiable need.&#8221; One of the remaining plaintiffs is a part-time sheriff&#8217;s deputy, a second carries large amounts of cash in his private business and another is a civilian employee of the FBI in New Jersey who is fearful of attack from a radical Islamic fundamentalist group. They are represented by attorney David D. Jensen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re moving forward with this case,&#8221; Gottlieb stated, &#8220;because there are far too many people just like Jeff Muller whose civil rights have been cavalierly denied on the whims of a judge.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ian Argent has <a href=\"http:\/\/ianargent.blogspot.com\/2011\/05\/mueller-gets-his-gun.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some comments on it here<\/a>.
