A well written article about how even New Jersey Courts are following some due process.
I blogged in April about In the Matter of the Application by Michael McGovern,
which offers some interesting (though non-precedential) views on New
Jersey gun law. As I noted then, New Jersey requires a license to buy a
handgun, and allows sheriffs to deny such licenses if the person was not
of “good character and good repute in the community” or “where the
issuance would not be in the interest of the public health, safety or
welfare.” There is, however, an appellate review process.
Michael
McGovern was denied a license, for several reasons. First, the Jersey
City Police Department requires applicants to fill out extra forms,
beyond those required by state law; McGovern refused to fill them out,
arguing that state law didn’t authorize them.
