Article note: And now we watch large swaths of the left decry a ruling that only says "you can't have local officials selectively and arbitrarily deny people rights" because "guns are bad, mmkay."
The scenario this is preventing is all the variations on "Billy-Bob fills out a concealed carry application where the 'Reason:' field is one word; a plural racial slur. Sheriff Hogg knows Billy-bob from the clan meeting, and approves his permit application on the basis of his good character. The guy who applied with the police report from when they burnt a cross in his yard as a reason, not so much."
The United States Supreme Court has struck down New York’s “proper cause” or “may issue” requirement for obtaining concealed carry permits in a 6 to 3 opinion handed down today in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. This is the case that was a second bite at the apple, challenging New York’s “may issue” concealed carry restrictions after the case that was argued in 2019 was declared moot when the New York changed its laws to avoid an adverse high court ruling.
