It looks like the Justices are willing to take another crack at the city of New York’s unconstitutionally restrictive gun laws. The Court has announced that they’ve granted cert to New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. v. Corlett.
The appeal is from a New York gun-rights group and two individuals who say the state is violating their 2nd Amendment rights by only issuing concealed-carry licenses to those who can show a special need for protection, according to Bloomberg. The state has restricted carry rights since the 19th century.
This case is likely to pave the way to the Supreme Court declaring a constitutional right to concealed public carry, overriding many state and local restrictions on the ability to bear concealed arms in public. https://t.co/SDD4adTFhx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The case, which the court will consider during the nine-month term beginning in October, will put the Justices in the middle of a heated debate between gun control advocates and gun rights groups who are hoping that the three justices appointed by former President Donald Trump (who have consistently ruled against conservative interests) will stand behind the Second Amendment.
