| NEW JERSEY FILES APPEAL
TO END INJUNCTION
BLOCKING CARRY-KILLER LAW |
| May 23, 2023. Late yesterday, the State of New Jersey filed appeal papers with the mid-level federal court seeking to quickly end the lower court's injunction blocking most of the carry-killer law. If the state is successful, the entire carry-killer law could be back in effect for the duration of ANJRPC's case. Were that to happen, the lower court could still suspend most of the law again at the end of ANJRPC's case, in which event the state would then have to appeal all over again. The state's move was predictable as Governor Murphy and anti-gun lawmakers have been humiliated repeatedly by the lower court's rulings suspending most of the law since January. Lawmakers are desperate to save face and have a momentary victory on their "signature" unconstitutional legislation. ANJRPC's responsive papers will be filed next week, and we will issue another alert then.
