• 13th New Jersey City Waives Permit Fees (thetruthaboutguns.com) — Hardyston is now among New Jersey towns refunding the municipal portion of concealed-carry permit fees, easing costs for local residents who apply. The move is part of a broader gun-rights campaign that has convinced 13 municipalities, including Toms River and Howell, to waive the $150 local share of the state’s $200 permit fee after recent court challenges and advocacy efforts.
