NJ's anti-2A schemes can't even keep high schools "gun-free"

New Jersey lawmakers are rushing to get a bill placing onerous (and likely unconstitutional) new restrictions on the right to carry to Gov. Phil Murphy’s desk before the end of the year, but don’t expect their latest infringements to have any impact whatsoever on those who are already carrying without a government-issued permission slip. That legislation would not only create a spiderweb of “gun-free zones” designed to ensnare those with concealed carry permits, but jacks up the fees New Jersey imposes on all those seeking to keep and/or bear arms and even mandates the purchase of liability insurance for all licensed concealed carry permittees.
