SAF ASKS FOR JUDGMENT IN N.J. LAWSUIT

The Second Amendment Foundation and the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs have filed a motion for summary judgment in their federal lawsuit that challenges New Jersey handgun carry laws.

SAF and ANJRPC filed the lawsuit last month in federal district court in New Jersey. If this motion is granted, see there could be action on the case early in 2011.

“We’re challenging New Jersey’s unconscionable law that forces citizens to demonstrate some absurd ‘justifiable need’ in order to exercise a constitutional right to keep and bear arms, dosage ” said SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. “The way Garden State officials consistently abuse their authority to deny handgun licenses under existing statute is simply unconstitutional, and our case will prove that.”-[source]
