Part One - SCOTUS Case: New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen

3 years ago

DOES NY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DENY GUN PERMITS. This case was heard but has not yet received a ruling. A big Second Amendment case.

Facts of the case
The state of New York requires a person to show a special need for self-protection to receive an unrestricted license to carry a concealed firearm outside the home. Robert Nash and Brandon Koch challenged the law after New York rejected their concealed-carry applications based on failure to show “proper cause.” A district court dismissed their claims, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed.

Question
Does New York's law requiring that applicants for unrestricted concealed-carry licenses demonstrate a special need for self-defense violate the Second Amendment?
