Now that the Supreme Court has struck down New York’s concealed carry law, similar restrictions in several other states may soon face successful challenges.
Justices ruled 6-3 in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen that a state can’t demand its gun owners provide a justification when applying for a concealed carry permit. The ruling essentially said the people's right to bear arms exists equally both inside and outside their homes.
Kavanaugh warned, however, that six states with may-issue permitting could face successful legal challenges. California is among the states that allow local officials discretion in issuing concealed carry permits. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom called the ruling “dangerous” on Thursday as the future of his state’s concealed carry law became uncertain.This is a dangerous decision from a court hell bent on pushing a radical ideological agenda and infringing on the rights of states to protect our citizens from being gunned down in our streets, schools, and churches.
