Federal Judge Renee Marie Bumb Renee
Marie Bumb is a judge of the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey. She has just handed down a decision in the case
of Koons v. Reynolds. This is a challenge to a bunch of the horseshit
passed by New Jersey in the wake of the Bruen decision. The law, as
currently written, has so many exemptions and restrictions that it is
virtually impossible to carry a legal handgun with a legal permit
anywhere in New Jersey except on the sidewalk in front of your own
home. It was promptly appealed by several pro-2A groups.
Judge
Bumb concluded that there was a high degree of probability that the
plaintiffs would be successful in their action on the merits of the
case. Among other things the New Jersey law banned carry in public
libraries, museums, any bar or restaurant where alcohol was served,
virtually all entertainment venues, almost all private property and
inside motor vehicles on public roads.
Judge Bumb issued a TRO against the state enforcing these restrictions.
The
state A. G. called the judge a bunch of names and announced intent to
appeal to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. I suspect that the 3rd
Circuit will not be impressed by the A.G. calling the judge names in
public. Judges are often stuffy about that, even if they are
philosophically inclined to support the laws under review.
