New Jersey\u2019s Falsely Claims Historical Tradition Of Firearm Regulation Exists<\/a><\/p>\n Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging New Jersey\u2019s \u201csensitive places\u201d statute have filed a\u00a0response brief<\/a>\u00a0to the state\u2019s appeal. The case is now known as\u00a0Koons v. Platkin<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n In May, U.S. District Court Judge Renee Marie Bumb granted a preliminary injunction against the state. New Jersey sought a stay of that order pending appeal, to which Second Amendment Foundation filed a brief in opposition.<\/p>\n SAF is joined by the Firearms Policy Coalition, the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, New Jersey Second Amendment Society, and four private citizens. Attorney David Jensen, Beacon, N.Y represent them.<\/p>\n \u201cThe state is trying to justify the challenged provisions of its \u2018sensitive places\u2019 law, which makes it virtually impossible for people with carry permits to actually go to most places,\u201d noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. \u201cEssentially, Garden State residents can walk out the front door with their legally-carried firearms, but they can\u2019t really go anywhere.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe maintain the District Court acted properly by issuing a preliminary injunction against enforcement of this \u2018sensitive places\u2019 statute,\u201d added SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. \u201cThe Anti-Carry Default provision of the law, which prohibits carrying on private property without the owner\u2019s express permission, is tantamount to prohibiting lawful carry in most public places. The section prohibiting carrying a gun in a vehicle, unless the gun is unloaded and placed in a securely fastened case literally makes legal carry impossible while traveling.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Both Second Amendment Foundation officials say it is impossible for the state to show the challenged provisions of the law, known as Chapter 131, are consistent with a historical tradition of firearm regulation.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is a requirement of the Supreme Court\u2019s Bruen ruling last year,\u201d Kraut noted, \u201cand they can\u2019t meet that requirement because there was no such Founding-era tradition. The state has failed to show such examples, and the injunctions should be upheld.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Jersey\u2019s Falsely Claims Historical Tradition Of Firearm Regulation Exists Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging New Jersey\u2019s \u201csensitive places\u201d statute have filed a\u00a0response brief\u00a0to the state\u2019s appeal.
