Patrons of Atlantic City casinos won’t be able to carry their firearms on casino property, the gambling halls’ owners announced a week after a judge lifted the state’s ban on guns in casinos.

Mark Giannantonio, president of the Casino Association of New Jersey, said in a statement that the owners of the nine casinos in the state’s gambling capital will exercise their rights as private property owners to issue their own firearm ban.

“The safety and well-being of our guests and employees is a top priority for the Atlantic City casino industry,” Giannantonio said.

Last week, the state’s new gun bill — aimed at limiting where gun owners can carry their weapons — was knocked down another peg after federal Judge Renée Marie Bumb issued a temporary restraining order preventing the state from banning gun owners from taking their firearms to casinos, parks, beaches, and other recreational areas.
