'We're starting to see another rise in people looking for the compact carry guns now,' said Arsenal Gun Shop owner Tom Vadurro.
ABC News special report: The Supreme Court said Thursday that Americans have a right to carry guns in public, a major expansion of gun rights.Gurcsik says out of 50,000 township residents, only four people have current permits to carry a handgun."Because they're entering situations where they don't know now whether or not someone is concealed carry. Even though it is licensed," said Gurcsik.
Last year in New Jersey, 503 carry permits were issued, according to data from New Jersey State Police.Governor Phil Murphy called the court's ruling"tragic and misguided" last week, and called for legislation that would limit where guns can be carried, including hospitals, courthouses and areas with large crowds of people like stadiums and amusement parks.Owner Tom Vadurro said they started getting calls right after the ruling came down.
Washington Township police are trying to remind people that you still need a permit to carry a handgun, and all the other requirements for a carry permit are still in play. That includes a background check, a mental health check, three references, and passing a qualification at a gun range.You still have to apply in person at your local police department and they have 60 days to process the application.
Gurcsik says if they see that many more applications they may have to add another officer to the firearms unit to process the applications.
