The Supreme Court strikes down a New York gun law restricting concealed carry rights. EamonJavers reports on the latest SCOTUS decisions.
The Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision Thursday struck down a New York state law that requires applicants for a license to carry a gun outside of their homes to have a "proper cause" to do so, saying it violated the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.is a major victory for gun rights advocates who had challenged New York's restrictive law, which makes it a crime to carry a concealed firearm without a license.
The court's three liberals voted to uphold the law, with Justice Stephen Breyer writing a dissent on the decision. Democratic elected officials in New York quickly condemned Thursday's decision, which they said will imperil public safety. The case was brought by the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association and two of its members, Robert Nash and Brandon Koch, whose applications for concealed-carry handgun licenses for self-defense purposes were rejected.
After a federal judge in New York dismissed the case, the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that judgment. The U.S. Supreme Court then took the case.
