Federal Appeals Court Rules on NJ Handgun Carry

[alsaqr]

The appeals court reversed some bans on handgun carry.

"The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated key parts of New Jersey’s law that prohibits carrying guns in certain parts of the state.

The 2-1 decision from the court allows multiple so-called sensitive places — where New Jersey law bans guns — to take effect as litigation plays out. Prior to that, U.S. District Judge Renée Marie Bumb blocked much of the state’s sensitive places from taking effect, meaning that guns could be carried in areas where New Jersey law sought to prohibit them.

Wait, did they actually make a ruling, or did they simply reverse the stay pending judgement?
I've seen both in print.

Tuesday’s court order means that carrying guns within 100 feet of public gatherings; nursery schools; pre-schools; zoos; summer camps; public parks; libraries; museums; places where alcohol is served; entertainment facilities; casinos; and health care facilities are prohibited.

Some key parts of the law are still blocked. Restrictions in New Jersey law around carrying guns in vehicles or movie sets, for instance, are still blocked. On private property that is open to the public — like retail stores — if a property owner does not give express permission that guns are allowed on their premises, people can still carry guns there. But a property owner still has the right to not allow guns. The liability insurance mandate for concealed carry holders is also still blocked.

Good I hold Maryland officials take note. The MD legislature passed the same thing earlier this year.

Is the actual ruling in print someplace we can get a link to? (considering that's part of the ruleset for Legal and all)

Good point, @CapnMac. I don't have a link directly to the goods, but politico had them:

TY as well bennj!!!

 

[Bennj]

No problem, and sorry for the 2 finger type job, I'm not real good with the copy/paste stuff. The appeals are supposed to be heard on 10/25, possibly by the same 3rd circuit judges that issued the stay.

We don't care how you type, @Bennj. We appreciate you posting the stay, though.
