📰 News we're reading

• 13th New Jersey City Waives Permit Fees (thetruthaboutguns.com) — Beachwood is now among New Jersey towns refunding the municipal portion of concealed-carry permit fees, alongside nearby Toms River. Gun-rights groups pushed for this change after state lawmakers raised permit costs, and they’re encouraging residents in other towns to use model resolutions to seek similar fee rollbacks.
