New Jersey’s Concealed-Carry Law Is Being Challenged by Guns-Rights Group
- Second Amendment Foundation argues law violates Constitution
- State’s AG says the law is ‘commonsense’ public safety measure
New Jersey’s new law restricting where people can carry concealed weapons is being challenged by a gun-rights group over claims it violates the Second Amendment — the latest clash over firearms amid a continued wave of mass shootings in the US.
The Second Amendment Foundation filed the suit Thursday in federal court in Camden, New Jersey, hours after the legislation was signed into law by Phil Murphy, the state’s Democratic governor.
