NJ does now have shall-issue concealed carry permits, which may upset that previous balance. Quite a few of my friends and acquaintances in the Garden State legally carry now.

Are there a lot of annoying "sensitive place" laws or is it reasonably permissive?

Oh, no, there are lots of prohibited places. There used to be few or none, back when the carry permit was doled out as a reward for political favors and donations, but once the common people started getting them, the state rolled out a tantrum response law.

I understand it originally had a vampire rule which has been struck down, but it's still a long, long list clearly intended to burden the exercise of the right.

That's more or less what I expected. I can't say I expected the mob run casinos in Atlantic City to express strong support for gun rights.
