BREAKING: Supreme Court strikes down restrictive New York gun law.
June 23, 2022, 10:37 AMThe Guardian or Authority of Law statue sits on the side of the U.S. Supreme Court on Sept. 28, 2020 in Washington, DC.The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled in a major case involving whether there's a fundamental right to carry a concealed gun outside the home in public for self-defense.
"Because the State of New York issues public-carry licenses only when an applicant demonstrates a special need for self-defense, we conclude that the State’s licensing regime violates the Constitution," Thomas wrote in the opinion. Two New York gun owners challenged the century-old law as highly discretionary and unconstitutional. State officials granted a limited license for concealed carry to each, but they were forbidden from possessing a weapon in places frequented by the public.
