The Pentagon took major action against Stars and Stripes on Friday, firing its publisher, editor and a Middle East reporter. The Aug. 21 terminations included publisher Max Lederer Jr., editor-in-chief Erik Slavin and reporter Lara Korte, announced by the publication itself while the outgoing staffers vowed to maintain editorial independence.

In 2024 New Jersey permit-to-carry applicants suffered excessive waits on the issuing of their permits. Since then, how is the Garden State doing on issuing permits in a timely fashion? How long a permit-to-carry applicant should have to wait is a subjective matter. In this day and age of instant criminal background checks, that wait should be zero. Even in the best jurisdictions in the country there’s usually a few hour wait. The worst offenders will go on for months or even years. From post-Bruen through 2024, approximately 10 percent of applicants had to wait past…
