NJ is trying to include mandatory insurance as part of a package of requirements for a carry permit.
NJ had almost no issuance of permits to private citizens, but after the USSC decision they felt they had to come up with a way to deter carry in public places. The restrictions are similar to NY, but add a few more hurtles to obtaining a permit.
A bill is being formulated that will require four character witnesses, all who will be required to be interviewed, insurance, and the permit fee increased from $2 to $200. The governor indicated he will sign it.
Here's an article about the proposed bill: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/13/nyregion/nj-gun-laws-insurance.html
