• 13th New Jersey City Waives Permit Fees (thetruthaboutguns.com) — Englishtown is now among the New Jersey towns refunding the municipal portion of concealed-carry permit fees, easing costs for local residents who apply. Driven by gun-rights groups, this growing movement follows a Toms River vote and challenges the state’s higher post-Bruen permit pricing, with organizers urging residents statewide to press their own councils.
