NEW JERSEY β€” Refund checks are now arriving for some residents who paid municipal fees tied to New Jersey’s Permit to Carry applications.

So far, at least 18 towns have passed resolutions to return the $150 local fee that was previously required as part of the permit process.

In Beachwood, one resident shared online that he plans to donate his refund to firearm advocacy groups, highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding gun rights and fees in the state.

Supporters argue the refunds correct what they believe was an improper financial burden tied to a constitutional right. Others maintain that permit structures are necessary for regulation and public safety.

πŸ“Š Estimates suggest the refunds could total more than $600,000 across affected municipalities.

πŸ‘‰ What about your town? Have they issued refunds or passed a resolution?
