I am going to around the New Jersey Turnpike next year and from the looks of it, I can pretty much choose a state. I heard that NJ might not be the best choice for a CCW. How is Delaware? How about PA? What would be a best option from around 20 min commute from Salem Community College?
NJ Turnpike, what state to choose?

Pennsylvania by all and any means. Lived there for the better part of my life. Beautiful state. friendly people (outside of Philadelphia city) and some really great hunting. Very gun friendly place.
Not sure about Delaware but you might want to check the gun laws there.
New Jersey? Damn! Couldn't you get into another school in another state? What about West Chester State College in Pa?

Delaware is a "may issue state". I lived there for 15 years and for the life of me couldn't get a permit. You need to show a need (just self defense is not enough), gather signatures of at least three citizens that will testify to your character, get fingerprinted, background check, and submit the package to the state. A judge decides whether you get a permit or not.
The only person I know that got a permit was a jeweler whose store was robbed twice.

You can FORGET getting a CCW in Jersey. It WILL NOT happen. Do not even think of carrying a firearm in Jersey unless you want your education to be a GED aquired from Rahway State Prison. Find a nice college in Pennsylvania. You will be much happier not being Bubba's girlfriend and maid.
no CCW in Nj
There is about a zero chance of a NJ CcW you can carry in PA with FL or UT but you can't bring your firearm into NJ unless you are going to a range or traveling through. There are a litany of awful laws in NJ but I can tell you if you have a gun locked and cased in your trunk on a college campus you can get 5-7 yrs in states prison

Where do you reside?
Do you have a permit to carry a gun?
If so, from what state?
Those questions aside, Travelling with a firearm in your vehicle in New Jersey can lead to big legal problems, even if you are a resident there.

Yet, according to the USA Carry map, my AZ permit is recognized by DE. Doesn't seem right does it?

That's why I am getting an Arizona permit too. Sometimes states make specific reciprocity agreements with each other, even when their laws are dissimilar. Pennsylvania and Maine just did that. I was hoping for Pennsylvania and Delaware to do the same, but they have not done so. Hence the Arizona option...

Not meaning to hi-jack the op's thread but, according to the AZDPS CCW unit DE recognizes an AZ permit without written agreement. I've been able to avoid NJ, but unable to avoid NY. I still have family there. As for the other states that don't recognize my permit, I've had no reason to go there. PA sounds like the OP's best bet.

Yes. I have heard far more horror stories of people being stopped and arrested in New Jersey for what the gun owner thought was a legal transportation of firearms, under the Federal statute. Apparently New Jersey's gun laws are so vague that a loaded magazine can be considered a loaded weapon.
