Mag Ban: Third Circuit Refuses Further Review & Other Updates

 

 

 

 

 

THIRD CIRCUIT REFUSES EN BANC REVIEW
OF MAG BAN APPEAL

 

Case Must Now Proceed in Lower Federal Court

Before Supreme Court Review is Available

 
Earlier this week, the full panel of judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit refused to overturn the December 5 decision of a 3-judge panel that failed to temporarily halt NJ's ban on magazines holding between 11 and 15 rounds during the appeals process. The decision leaves the mag ban in place, and paves the way for an eventual appeal that could lead to the U.S. Supreme Court.
 
See a copy of the court's decision here.
 
The next step is for the main case (which seeks to permanently overturn the mag ban) to return to the lower federal district court for further proceedings and final disposition, after which the case can then be further appealed. 
 
Meanwhile, ANJRPC's petition to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn NJ's unconstitutional carry laws is still pending. Please stay tuned for updates as both cases proceed.
