The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear an appeal by two gun owners and the New York affiliate of the National Rifle Association of a lower court ruling throwing out their challenge to the state’s law
The U.S. Supreme Court returns to the divisive issue of gun rights on Wednesday with arguments in a challenge to New York state’s limits on carrying concealed handguns in public – a case that could imperil certain firearms restrictions nationally.
The court’s 6-3 conservative majority is considered sympathetic to an expansive view of Second Amendment rights. Decisions by Justice Richard McNally Jr., a state trial court judge, to deny gun owners Robert Nash and Brandon Koch unrestricted concealed-carry licenses triggered the legal fight. Nash and Koch, along with the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, sued in federal court.
