For Immediate Release:   11/22/2010

BELLEVUE, WA ? The Second Amendment Foundation today filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against several New Jersey officials for deprivation of civil rights under color of law.

SAF is joined in the lawsuit by the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, Inc. and six private citizens whose applications for permits to carry have been denied generally on the grounds that they have not shown a ?justifiable need.? One of the plaintiffs is a kidnap victim, another is a part-time sheriff?s deputy, a third carries large amounts of cash in his private business and another is a civilian employee of the FBI in New Jersey who is fearful of attack from a radical Islamic fundamentalist group. Plaintiffs are represented by attorneys David D. Jensen and Robert P. Firriolo with the firm of Duane Morris, LLP in Newark.

Go get them Alan.

All NFOA members should also join the CCRKBA and SAF, IMO the premier gun rights groups in the country.
