• 13th New Jersey City Waives Permit Fees (thetruthaboutguns.com) — Cresskill is now among a small group of New Jersey towns that are refunding the local portion of concealed-carry permit fees, easing costs for residents who apply. Alongside nearby Dumont and several other municipalities statewide, Cresskill’s move aligns with a broader gun-rights campaign challenging New Jersey’s higher post-Bruen permit fees and encouraging more towns to follow suit.
