• 13th New Jersey City Waives Permit Fees (thetruthaboutguns.com) — Medford Lakes is among 13 New Jersey towns now waiving the local $150 portion of the state’s $200 concealed-carry permit fee, effectively refunding most of the cost to applicants. Driven by gun-rights groups, this policy shift aims to remove what advocates call a financial barrier to exercising self-defense rights and could encourage similar action in more municipalities.
