The conservative majority expanded gun rights in New York, California and a handful of other states.
Gun owner Sesar Juarez said he's more inclined to apply for a concealed carry weapons permit after a 6 to 3 ruling from the Supreme Court expanded gun rights in New York, California and a handful of other states.The high court said Americans have the right to carry firearms outside of their home for self-defense. The ruling may make the Golden State join the 43 states that have"shall issue" standards.
"Even though the Supreme Court says you can carry a concealed weapon, it didn't say any weapon," said Loyola Law School professor Laurie Levenson."And it said there are places where it can still be off-limits. Like schools, courthouses and other sensitive places." "I think CCWs are definitely going to go up," said Juarez."I know among my friends all of them have considered it."
