The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled on June 23, 6–3, that New York State’s good reason request to grant a concealed carry permit is unconstitutional.
New York State Shooters and Pistols Association (NYSRPA) v. Bruen It focuses on permit denial under New York’s concealed carry permit law. The NYSRPA filed a lawsuit alleging that one of its members was eligible for clearance, but was dismissed as New York required applicants to prove why items in their concealed possessions were required to carry firearms.
As a result, the case falls within the scope of the Second Amendment, regardless of whether the right to own and possess a firearm applies only in the home or even outside the home.
When SCOTUS issued a certificate in this case, NYSRPA responded:
This case challenges New York State’s requirement that applicants show “good reason” for carrying a firearm. New York regularly uses this requirement to deny applicants the right to carry firearms outside their homes. The NRA believes that law-abiding citizens do not need to prove they are in jeopardy to obtain government permission to exercise this constitutionally protected right.
NRA-ILA director Jason Ouimet also commented on the case after the Supreme Court agreed to hear:
Under current New York law, a law-abiding resident becomes a criminal the moment they leave their home with a gun. This is a clear violation of the Second Amendment. The NRA is grateful that the Supreme Court has addressed this important issue. We are proud to be part of this goal and look forward to a future in which law-abiding Americans around the world have a fundamental right to self-defense under the Constitution.
The immediate effect of the June 23 decision was that it ignored New York’s need for a good cause. What remains to be seen is how and whether this decision will affect other states such as California and New Jersey, both of which have secret transportation arrangements similar to New York for the proper purpose. NYSRPA .v Bruen it also leads to claims against these states.
