• 12 NJ Towns Waive $150 Carry Permit Fee After Rights Push (thetruthaboutguns.com) — Medford Lakes residents who apply for a concealed carry permit no longer have to pay the town’s $150 share of the state’s $200 fee, after local officials joined a growing list of New Jersey municipalities waiving it. Driven by gun-rights groups and recent court rulings, this change significantly lowers the cost of obtaining a carry permit for eligible residents.
