In NJ, the leading treatise "New Jersey Gun Law" http://www.evannappen.com/gun-law-books.html
is over 500 pages long. It's actually in its second edition. As someone wise in the ways of that law once said to me "in NJ you can be perfectly legal and still get busted because the law is so convoluted the cop won't know what is and is not legal. And then, once they figure out the bust was bad, they'll make up something to turn it into a good bust."

In Maine, you can write the state gun laws on the proverbial matchbook.

Which is why I moved to Maine.
