BREAKING!!! Supreme Court Emergency Decision To End All Firearm Permits Nationwide Put In Motion!
Summary
TLDRNew York's concealed carry ban is facing legal challenges, with recent court rulings striking down parts of it. The case *Christian v. James* challenges the state's 'catchall' carry ban on private property, with the district court siding with the pro-Second Amendment side. This ruling builds on previous cases, including *Antonuk* and *Rahimi*, which have already rejected New York's justifications for restricting concealed carry. While the state appeals, the second circuit’s continued rejection of these laws could significantly impact concealed carry laws nationwide, with the potential for further Supreme Court involvement.
