Oral arguments in the legal challenge by gun lobby groups against New Jersey’s concealed-carry law were heard Wednesday in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin said he is confident the law, which limits guns from being carried in public places like playgrounds, beaches and hospitals, will be upheld. “I am confident that as the court hears this argument, we are going to win and the law … is going to remain in effect and we are going to be safer as a result of it,” Platkin said.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen decision last year struck down several states’ laws restricting gun rights in public. In response, New Jersey’s state Assembly designated sensitive places where people can’t legally carry guns.

Attorneys representing the state argued in court Wednesday that there are historical precedents for these kinds of laws. Attorneys representing the plaintiffs argued that New Jersey’s examples were either taken out of context or interpreted too broadly.

The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs says it will continue to aggressively defend gun owners’ carry rights during every stage of this case, which is set to take weeks to months.
