Gun rights advocates in New Jersey are headed back to federal court to once again fight a state law that bans concealed carry of guns in a range of "sensitive places," including parks, beaches, bars, casinos, and more.

The ban was first signed into law by Governor Murphy in 2022, but was challenged in court.

Gun owners and advocates arguing that the expansive list of restricted places violates their Second Amendment right to carry.

A three-judge panel in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals largely ruled against them in September, upholding New Jersey's ban.

But the plaintiffs quickly challenged that ruling and asked that the full Third Circuit panel of judges rehear the case.

Now, the full panel is made up of 14 active judges, many of whom were appointed by President Trump, and they have voted to approve a rehearing, which is now scheduled for February 11th.
