SAF recently sued New Jersey over Gov. Phil Murphy’s decision to shutter gun stores during the crisis. On Monday, Murphy announced that gun stores would reopen.
“We’re delighted that Gov. Murphy has reversed course on this matter, even if it took a lawsuit to get him to do it,” said Gottlieb. “Our lawsuit cut right to the heart of what the Second Amendment is all about, which is personal protection during emergency situations like the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the nation.”
New Jersey officials announced over the weekend that as many as 163 police officers have tested positive for COVID-19.
Acting State Police Superintendent Col. Patrick Callahan had initially overstated the number saying that there were 700 officers with the novel coronavirus during a Saturday briefing but in a statement on Sunday the agency corrected the number.
“During a recent COVID-19 press conference, Col. Patrick Callahan overstated the Law Enforcement Statewide Positive cases,” read the statement.
It went on to add that while 163 cops tested positive, another 1,272 officers around the state were in quarantine and 1,435 were “out for other reasons.”
