New Jersey governor wants concealed carry banned in restaurants and more

Justice Clarence Thomas’ opinion in NYSPRA v. Bruen was pretty clear when it came to “may issue” states trying to get around the Court’s ruling by declaring broad swathes of the public sphere “sensitive places” off-limits to concealed carry; it’s not going to work. The majority opinion notes that “sensitive places” cannot broadly encompass most of the places where law-abiding citizens may want to bear arms in self-defense, and instead suggests that these places must be “exceptional” in nature, because we don’t have a history or tradition of “broadly prohibiting the public carry of commonly used firearms for self-defense.” Bans on carrying firearms in courthouses, government buildings, and even polling places may pass constitutional muster, according to Thomas, but again, those places are going to be the exception rather than the rule.

 

Not surprisingly, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has given Thomas and the rest of the Court the middle finger in his response to the Bruen decision, calling on legislators to pass sweeping new restrictions on where concealed carry holders can lawfully bear arms and utterly ignoring what SCOTUS had to say about “sensitive places”.

The governor wants to expand New Jersey’s gun-free zones to include locations such as hospitals, public transit, bars and restaurants.

Murphy signed an executive order Friday that directs all state departments and agencies to review statutes, rules and regulations to determine where New Jersey can limit firearms. The governor also intends to work with the state Legislature on expanding the number of places where people cannot carry guns.

Places up for consideration include the following, according to Murphy:

  • High-density locations, including stadiums and arenas, amusement parks, bars and restaurants where alcohol is served and public transit.
  • Places with “inherently vulnerable populations,” such as day care and child care facilities, hospitals and other health care centers, long-term care facilities and nursing homes.
  • Locations of First Amendment-protected activities, such as anywhere governmental bodies may meet, polling places, courthouses and police stations and places where demonstrations, protests or licensed gatherings may occur

I suspect the courts might go along with labeling a couple of these places as “sensitive”, including stadiums and amusement parks along with some government buildings, but blanket bans on lawful carrying in restaurants, public transit, and any place where a protest, demonstration, or licensed gathering “may” occur isn’t going to fly. Private property owners are free to declare their businesses gun-free zones if they want, but based on the Bruen decision the government is tightly limited when it comes to labeling spaces in the public sphere “sensitive.”

I'm a bit hazy, but isn't there precedent for not allowing the government to force a person to choose between one Constitutionally protected right and another? He's trying to say, if you carry, you can't vote or if you vote, you can't carry - choose.

If you read the entire article, they spell out that Murphy intends to run for president in the 2024 primary he will get all the  free publicity as being a staunch anti-gun candidate by resisting to supreme Court.

"I stood up to the gun lobby and the NRA"

 

Don't put anything past as weasel!

He is a lame duck and limp dick with any gun control as his own party is scared of the repercussions they will face in 2023. His guntrol 3.0 turned into -3.0 with the SCOTUS ruling.

Who needs publicity?  If Biden can be installed as president Murphy is probably thinking: "Hey, me next".

The hell with what the American people want.

He didn't care much about long term care facilities and nursing homes when he killed them without a gun.

Public transit will not hold up in court.  Public transit is used to travel between places where concealed carry IS allowed and will, therefore, restrict citizens ability to carry legally.  Hospitals and daycare centers would seem to be valid.

Let's be realistic here - there will be place limitations, as it is in many other jurisdictions that have had CCW way longer than NJ - LOL

 

Also, let's focus on just getting the ball rolloing and people with the CCW - and then wporry and fight for locations etc.

 

As well as the reciprocity talk - that is another fight - that will come in time

Quote: Evan Nappan Esq.

Justice Thomas wrote the extraordinary majority opinion for the Court. He is by far the greatest modern hero to the Second Amendment. Not only did this decision remove the requirement of “showing need” for a carry permit, but it paves the way to challenge virtually every gun law on the books and any future gun laws that may be passed by the anti-gun rights crowd.

Justice Thomas ruled that, “…the constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not ‘a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.”

He goes further and points out, “We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need…“That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant’s right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense.”

Yes . . . It opens the path to remove almost all restrictions.  But it didn't remove them, which it could have.  The trouble is that anything passed now and all of the other restrictions will have to be fought out in court.

the Status Quo guy.......why things never change here in Jersey.

I was going to ignore this - as it is a pointless discussion - but suffice it to say, I am far from status quo, yet I am a realist as to what can happen, what cannot happen in the short term and what needs to continue to be fought.  I also rely on experts in certain areas that provide guidance and counsel in matters such as this.

Please, *please* share with us your bona fides in Constitutional Law, or even common law that makes a solid case for Constitutional Carry - other than your OMO - or what you believe and want.

100% of school shootings (any type) occur in gun free zones. They are the magnet for deranged criminals to make their move. They are also the poster children for useless gun control laws.

If Murphy and the Democrats try to create a shit ton of gun free zones, then we should remind them they will be responsible for each and every shooting death and injury in locations where they have guaranteed there will be no armed opposition.

And we should do that every time it happens.
