Supreme Court takes up major gun rights case over state 'concealed carry' regulations
Fox News
The issue of gun rights is back at the Supreme Court, as the justices prepare Wednesday to hear oral arguments in a case that could allow more Americans the right to carry pistols in public spaces.
At issue is a challenge to a restrictive New York state permit law – similar to seven other states – requiring most applicants to demonstrate "proper cause" to receive licenses for a concealed handgun in public.
The justices in 2008 said Americans have a Second Amendment right to keep a handgun in the home for self-defense. Now the court's 6-3 conservative majority may be poised to dramatically extend individual gun rights.
