The Hague v. Murphy lawsuit argues that New Jersey’s laws, which bar those under 21 from obtaining concealed-carry permits, violate the Second Amendment. The plaintiffs, noting that 18- to 20-year-olds can vote and serve in the military, seek an injunction to halt enforcement of these restrictions.
“The Second Amendment is a right, not a privilege, that belongs to all of the people,” NJFOS and the Second Amendment Foundation said in a statement.
The lawsuit targets New Jersey officials and federal authorities, aiming to align state law with the Third Circuit’s binding precedent. The case could influence firearm regulations across the Third Circuit, which includes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
