BREAKING: In a major ruling for gun rights, Supreme Court has just struck down restrictive New York gun law. The highest court ruled on its biggest gun rights case in more than a decade and decided that Americans can carry concealed weapons outside the home. Put simply, this court agreed that there is a fundamental right to carry a handgun in public for self-defense.
New York’s 100-year-old law requires showing “proper cause” in order to carry a concealed firearm, with permits issued at the discretion of local officials. By striking down this law, it would likely mean more guns in public spaces.
