New Jersey state leaders are trying to limit where guns can be carried after the Supreme Court's ruling made it easier to carry a firearm in public in New York. NickJCaloway has details.
In response, the governor used the power of the pen, signing an executive order directing state agencies to review current statutes with hopes of creating gun-free areas. He's also asking the legislature to expand the list of so-called"sensitive places," where firearms are prohibited, including stadiums, arenas, amusement parks, bars and restaurants, public transit, hospitals, day cares and government buildings.
"That will protect homeowners and businesses who do not want firearms to proliferate in their homes and stores," Murphy said. "Obviously there will be some limitations and some controls. But I don't fear any law-abiding citizen that feels the need to protect themselves," said Assembly Republican leader John DiMaio.
