Bush Judge Strikes Down NJ Ban On Guns In Schools

Courthouse News reports:

A New Jersey law that bars firearms from schools, beaches and other areas deemed sensitive was gutted on Tuesday by a Republican-appointed federal judge.

The 235-page ruling from U.S. District Judge Renee Marie Bumb guts most of the provisions of Chapter 131, which had prohibited carrying a firearm in 25 designated “sensitive places,” including beaches, parks, schools, libraries, casinos and bars.

The 2022 state law also had increased the minimum liability insurance requirement for carry permit holders and changed other permitting processes. The upshot of the ruling is that guns can now be carried in most areas previously deemed sensitive.

Read the full article. Bumb was appointed by Bush II.
