New Jersey, another state that reduced the red tape for carrying a gun after Bruen.....and gun murder rate went down, not up....
The portal is now live and we can look at permit to carry data going back to 2019.

In statistics released by the Murphy's office, less than 1,000 people were shot throughout the state last year and statewide only 191 people were killed due to gun violence.
The 924 people shot in 2023 marks a 13-percent decrease in shootings over 2022 and an 8-percent decrease in fatalities due to gun violence as well, the office noted.
"We can officially report that in the year 2023, New Jersey officially saw its lowest number of shootings in nearly 15 years," Murphy -- a second-term Democrat -- said.
With 33,044 more citizens in New Jersey carrying firearms, gun violence went down.

It’s the number of Black applicants that’s really a problem for Governor Phil Murphy and his ilk.
12% of the permit to carry applicants were Black and 13.1% of the population in New Jersey is Black. Governor Murphy, what do you do with that kind of data? That’s not a big enough deviation for the anti-gunners. “These people” are the same ones that Assemblyman John McKeon does not want armed. This destroys the anti-gun rhetoric in New Jersey, does it not?
