NJBeretta 42 Posted May 9, 2018 Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 2C supersede any BS township ordinances concerning 2A?? See below article... Piscataway gun ordinance would ban sales in sensitive areas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted May 9, 2018 It seems more like a zoning ordinance. I'll bet that 1000' from all the locations listed would leave no where to open a gun shop. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think the courts would overturn it if it had that effect. I believe they did the same with sex offender laws that effectively barred them from living in a given town with such a large exclusion area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either somewhere in CA or Chicago tried it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted May 9, 2018 Blatantly unconstitutional on several grounds. But I absolutely LOVE it! Let them try to enforce it, lol! I'll call the US Attorney for NJ & have him file an injunction! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The validity of such ordinances likely will be determined on a case-by-case basis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kman 56 Posted May 10, 2018 NJ doesn't have a state pre-emption law regarding firearms, so this would be upheld. See p. 7-8 http://handgunlaw.us/states/newjersey.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
