Judge Bom ruled that certain permitting requirements and the insurance mandate were unconstitutional, citing violations of the Second Amendment and the Bruen decision.

How did the Bruen decision influence the ruling on New Jersey's concealed carry law?

The Bruen decision established that modern firearm regulations must be consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation. The court found that New Jersey's insurance mandate and certain permitting processes were too dissimilar to historical laws and placed an undue burden on the right to carry.

Were all aspects of New Jersey's concealed carry law deemed unconstitutional?
