WE JUST WON BRUEN

6-3, along expected lines, with interesting concurring opinions by Alito, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.

NY (and hopefully, MD, NJ, IL, CA, etc., in turn) can take their "may-issue" language and go to hell.

(Edited - because I don't know how numbers work. LOL)

 

[Alphabrew]

Incredible!!! I guess there will be guidance on training requirements, etc to get a Maryland permit soon?

6-9, along expected lines, with interesting concurring opinions by Alito, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.

NY (and hopefully, MD, NJ, IL, CA, etc., in turn) can take their "may-issue" language and go to hell.

6-3 but who's counting.

H E L L Y E A H !!!!

OMG, it looks like SCOTUS got rid of the second test. Am I right that strict and intermediate scrutiny are no longer allowed? Might be time for a celebration. Still a lot more of it to read though.

 

[GuitarmanNick]

Should have ruled constitutional carry legal everywhere without restrictions or any recognized "safe zones".

Non water cooler thread is here:

NYC CCW case is at SCOTUS!

Hat tip to Calguns. This case wasn't on my radar at all. NRA/Paul Clement on the brief https://d3uwh8jpzww49g.cloudfront.net/sharedmedia/1511334/2020-12-17-nra-corlett-cert-petition-final.pdf It was just filed a few days ago, there's no SCOTUS docket page that I can find.

Yes. “One test too many”. Lol.

 

[Ammo Jon]

Amen, welcome to the ability to protect your life in your home and out of your home. Make sure to heed all “no weapons” signs and make
sure your CCW identifies as a firearm.

 

[Mr H]

Sad... NY Gov Hokum saying, "They have removed our right to reasonable restrictions"??!

Idiot.

Guns are bad, she needs to make her security detail is unarmed, let them talk down any potential attackers. Her life isn’t worth more than anyone else’s. ****!

 

[Worsley]

Ok - so what does this mean for us Marylanders. Can I now apply and get a CCW?

She could replace the officers with social workers.

Great news!

But the pessimist in me thinks the powers that be in MD. are scrutinizing the ruling to find ways to make getting a CCW in Maryland as cumbersome and difficult as possible.

I hope I'm wrong.

 

[BurtonRW]

Apply now before the General Assembly can add hurdles next session. That's my thinking, anyway.

No, I'll bet the 401k that the a$$holes lording over us in Maryland will do exactly that. It will be amusing though to watch the temper tantrums...

The implications of this being deemed an individual Right goes far beyond G&S. They will get smacked down for putting restraints on the exercise of a right.

If history is a guide??

We'll still get the post-Woollard heel-dragging. The next MGA session will be painful...

unless, of course, MDers get off their asses and start electing OTL (Other than Leftists) to the State House.

They will have to issue permits. NY was made to understand not issuing them is not an option.

If I don’t get mine, I sue. Including the head of the licensing division who will lose qualified immunity for denying me an enumerated right.

 

[Alphabrew]

If you have an HQL you shouldn’t need training classes to get a permit. How are they going to tell you that they gave you a license to buy a handgun but they don’t trust you to carry it?
