Frequently Asked Questions

Why is New Jersey's new concealed carry law considered unconstitutional?

The law is challenged for designating numerous 'sensitive places' where carrying firearms is prohibited, which gun rights advocates argue directly violates the Supreme Court's Bruen decision. Governor Phil Murphy's own statements suggesting parts of the law could be challenged while others remain enforceable also imply awareness of its potential unconstitutionality.

What did Governor Phil Murphy admit about the new New Jersey gun law?

Governor Murphy acknowledged the possibility of legal challenges, stating, 'Even if any part of the law is successfully challenged, the rest of it would remain intact and enforceable.' This statement is interpreted by critics as an admission that he knowingly signed a bill containing potentially unconstitutional provisions.

How did the NRA respond to New Jersey's new concealed carry law?

The NRA immediately filed a lawsuit against New Jersey, asserting that the new law directly contradicts the Supreme Court's Bruen ruling. They argue the law makes obtaining a concealed carry permit nearly impossible due to subjective criteria and broadly restricts carry locations, effectively making concealed carry illegal.

What are 'sensitive places' in the context of New Jersey's gun law?

Under New Jersey's new law, 'sensitive places' are designated areas where carrying firearms is illegal. The law lists 25 such locations, including government buildings and public transportation. Critics argue this broad designation violates the Bruen decision's precedent against arbitrarily restricting carry locations.
