Attorney General Matt Platkin (D) used an X post Wednesday to remind owners in New Jersey they can designate their business as a “gun free zone” if they so choose.
Platkin posted:
“Facts don’t lie. No matter what you’ve heard, owners of public establishments CAN display signs prohibiting guns on and around their property,” Platkin’s X post says, and includes a link to the website for New Jersey’s “Sensitive Places Law.”
The website has two buttons, one that downloads a gun-free zone flyer and the second that allows business owners to request a gun-free zone sticker for their business.

New Jersey’s “Sensitive Places Law” was signed by Gov. Phil Murphy (D) on December 22, 2022.
