The Supreme Court ruled against a New York law that restricts who can carry a firearm in public in a 6-3 decision that comes weeks after 19 children and two teachers were fatally shot in an Uvalde, Texas, school.

The court decided whether denying a concealed-carry license for self-defense violated the Second Amendment.

Supreme Court decisions in 2008 and 2010 established a nationwide right to keep a gun at home for self-defense. The question the court confronted is about the right to carry a gun outside the home.

New York has required that anyone applying for a concealed handgun license first show "proper cause." Courts in New York have found that means someone must demonstrate a special need to defend themselves.

Challenging the more than 100-year-old law were two men whose applications for unrestricted licenses were denied and a gun-rights advocacy group. The case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, was argued before the court in November. Kevin Bruen is the superintendent of the New York State Police.

Stay safe NY brehs.

At least now we’ll see more good guys with guns :troll:

This was only symbolic because outside of NYC you can get a concealed carry license with no problem… New York State brehs in the various counties upstate and Long Island had no issues getting concealed carry license… This scotus decision is attacking NYC concealed carry but it still has limitations as you can’t carry in venues and other places…

i don't disagree with this. when you have a system where you need to prove to bureaucrats why you need something you end up with only those with connections getting approved. it's like that in jamaica where not everyone can legally have a gun in your home or on your person (the criminals have them in abundance though), but you can apply to have one but only the connected get approved. i'm approved, but that's because i know people. fukk all of that, everyone should at least be able to legally own a gun in their home.
