Democrat-led Senate passed the measure, and Republicans are raising questions about its constitutionality.
New Jersey lawmakers have given final approval to legislation overhauling rules to get a gun carry permit.New Jersey lawmakers gave final approval Monday to legislation overhauling rules to get a firearm carry permit after this summer's U.S. Supreme Court ruling expanded gun rights.
Republicans opposed the measure, raising questions about its constitutionality, and gun rights advocates predicted it wouldn't pass constitutional muster. Other changes in the legislation include disqualifications for those who have been confined over their mental health, people who have had restraining orders as any "fugitive from justice."
The measure also boosts training requirements, calling for online, in-person classroom and target-shooting instruction. And it would require permit carriers to carry liability insurance.
