WISD0MTREE Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/new-york-state-rifle-pistol-association-inc-v-city-of-new-york-new-york/ This is an interesting one. SCOTUS actually agreed to hear a case regarding the Second Amendment. They haven't heard a Second Amendment case since Heller (11 years ago). New York City only lets people take their guns to and from the city's seven ranges, unless you have a carry license. Even with a carry license, you still can't take your firearm outside of New York City. Carry licenses are extremely restricted and even news anchors have had difficulties obtaining a license despite having dozens of death threats. The lower courts claimed the ban is constitutional as Heller only discussed guns inside the home. Their ruling could possibly bring nationwide reciprocity or make shall issue the standard. They'll probably decide on it early next year, but this is still something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
