The legislation scraps NJ's current requirement that those seeking a permit to carry a firearm show “justifiable need” and be of “good character' to reflect the Supreme Court's June ruling:
New Jersey lawmakers gave final approval Monday to legislation overhauling rules to get a firearm carry permit after this summer's U.S. Supreme Court ruling expanded gun rights.
“Since day one of his administration, Governor Murphy has been vocal about his support for stronger gun safety laws in the state of New Jersey,” Jones said. “The 2nd Amendment cannot be ignored because New Jersey's majority party does not like it,” GOP state Sen. Ed Durr said during a debate on the chamber's floor. No Democrats spoke in favor of the measure on Monday, but earlier they said they believed the measure is constitutional.
