The court concluded that New Jersey&#8217;s restrictions partly follow the nation&#8217;s longstanding firearm regulation traditions. However, some more expansive elements of the law-such as restrictions on carrying guns in vehicles and mandatory gun liability insurance-remain blocked. New Jersey officials praised the ruling as vital for public safety and contributing to a decline in shootings across the state. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Appeals court upholds New Jersey&rsquo;s gun restrictions in &lsquo;sensitive places&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2212016\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A court upheld a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Jersey<\/a> law Wednesday that bans the carrying of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/guns-and-firearms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guns<\/a> in &ldquo;sensitive places,&rdquo; including hospitals, schools, polling locations, and casinos.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling comes as many federal courts have maintained state laws that restrict where guns can be carried in public.

The court said that in determining if New Jersey&rsquo;s law was constitutional, the court would look at gun regulations from old English law to the post-Civil War era and the late 19th century.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Circuit Court Judge Cheryl Ann Krause wrote in the majority opinion that &ldquo;[we]have done our best to distill the principles of our Nation&rsquo;s tradition of firearm regulation from the available historical record, and what we have found convinces us that New Jersey&rsquo;s law, at least in part, continues that tradition.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The court still said some of the law parts of the law viewed as &ldquo;most far-reaching&rdquo; will remain blocked.
