Supreme Court shoots down NY rule that set high bar for concealed handgun licenses

[TB7]

The Supreme Court Thursday ruled 6-3 that New York’s regulations that made it difficult to obtain a license to carry a concealed handgun were unconstitutionally restrictive and that it should be easier to obtain such a license.The existing standard required an applicant to show "proper cause" for seeking a license and allowed New York officials to exercise discretion in determining whether a person has shown a good enough reason for needing to carry a firearm. Stating that one wished to protect themselves or their property was not enough."In this case, petitioners and respondents agree that ordinary, law-abiding citizens have a similar right to carry handguns publicly for their self-defense. We too agree, and now hold, consistent with Heller and McDonald, that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home," Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the Court's opinion. "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."

We’ve had guns in America throughout the history of the country, and never had so many issues before Biden was installed. Many people in my area in have rifles, handguns, and shotguns. We’ve never had any problems. The problem in this country is moral decay and a serious lack of leadership and common sense, not guns. Good decision, Justices!

I heard that Gavin Newsom is furious over this ruling.

"On the Cali Plantation, of which I am the White Master, all law-abiding citizens
  must be disarmed.   Only Latino wetback drug-dealers & violent negro criminals
  are to be armed.    And there is no jail-time for that".
