Really Bad Third Circuit Carry Permit Decision 9/10/2025

[bushmaster1313]

Today, 9/10/2025, the Third Circuit issued a really bad decision on where New Jersey can and cannot prohibit concealed carry.



This is not legal advice, but my preliminary read of the Decision is as follows:

With a carry permit carry is allowed (i.e. the NJ prohibition is no good):

In automobiles; and

In Private Property even without express permission.

Even with a carry permit carry is not allowed:

Public gatherings requiring a permit;

Zoos;

Parks, beaches and recreation facilities;

Public Libraries and Museums;

Locations that serve alcohol;

Entertainment facilities;

Casinos;

Public Transit;

Healthcare facilities;

Playgrounds;

Youth sports events;

IMHO this is a really ignorant decision by two Biden and Obama appointed judges over the forceful dissent by a Trump appointed judge.

Just one example, under the decision, people with carry permits can travel with their guns in their private cars -- poor slobs who need to use public transportation need to leave their guns at home.

So remember, if you want to shoot a bunch of people without that nasty thing where they defend themselves and shoot back, these are the areas set up by the courts for this kind of thing.

Yeah, the New Jersey overlords don't want to create a situation in which "blood will flow in the streets" and "it will be just like the wild west"; unlike the current situation in their major urban centers in which due to their draconian gun laws, blood currently flows in the streets and it's just like the wild west.

Crazy has a permit, no one else does. "What part of the right to bear arms don't you understand". Chief Justice Roberts on a fairly recent DC gun ban. It's time the Supreme Court acted supreme.
