| ANJRPC ARGUES FOR RESTRAINING
ORDER HALTING CARRY-KILLER LAW
WHILE LEGAL CHALLENGE PROCEEDS |
| January 26, 2023. This morning, the judge in the consolidated carry-killer case heard oral argument on ANJRPC's motion for a temporary restraining order halting giant swaths of the new law while the case proceeds. If granted, the motion would block the new law more broadly than previously.
ANJRPC attorney Dan Schmutter argued that the carry-killer law blatantly violates the Supreme Court's ruling in the Bruen case, and that accordingly much of the law should be suspended while the case proceeds. The NJ Attorney General argued against suspension of the law. Attorneys for the legislature, which oddly sought to intervene in the case earlier this week, did not argue, as their intervention motion has not yet been acted on by the court.
A decision on ANJRPC's restraining order request is expected in the coming days. Please watch for upcoming alerts as news breaks.
