Congrats, you may be in one of NJ's own 2A Sanctuaries. Passaic was the first NJ region to ratify Sanctuary status in 2019 and since then, at least 3 other counties also followed that route. A small step considering NJ's antigun history, but still important nonetheless. NJ was a haven for British Loyalists fleeing from the South during the Revolution because the mountain men of Virginia and North Carolina had been REALLY itching to slaughter them by 1780 thanks in part to the actions of a bloodthirsty psycho called Tarleton. Tory politics controlled New Jersey for much of the 19th century until the 1900s, which was when the Italian Mafia and it's various satellite labor unions and racketeering schemes took over. NJ's political history is just as dirty as downstate and metro NY's. They both have been long standing Democrat power centers, and sometimes that Democrat control was literally enforced at the barrel of a gun held by one or another organized crime entity like Tammany Hall and the Combine, the Chinese Triads, or the Five Families of the Mafia...
