FPC Statement on Third Circuit Decision in New Jersey Carry Ban Case

PHILADELPHIA (September 10, 2025) – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) issued the following statement today regarding a decision by the Third Circuit Court of Appeal in an interlocutory appeal from FPC’s preliminary injunction against New Jersey’s post-Bruen legislation to ban firearm carry in public:

We are reviewing this preliminary injunction-stage decision with our objective unchanged: to end New Jersey’s immoral and unconstitutional carry bans. While today’s ruling offers a partial but important recognition of our position and acknowledges serious defects in the State’s laws, it does not go nearly far enough. FPC remains committed to proving—when this case moves to final judgment—that these restrictions are an assault on peaceable people and must be struck down permanently.
