Supreme Court Accepts Case That Could Overturn State Gun Laws

At a time when another upsurge of gun violence is shattering lives around the country, the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review a lower court decision applying a well-established precedent that the Second Amendment right of firearm possession for self-defense is restricted to one’s home. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Corlett involves a very old Empire State regulation requiring the establishment of a clear and distinctive need for self-defense before a concealed-carry license is granted for use in public. Under District of Columbia v. Heller, the 2008 SCOTUS decision that first promulgated an individual right to bear arms, protection of “hearth and home” was deemed as a Second Amendment right, while states and localities were given a wider range of discretion in regulating firearms possession and use in other situations. That could soon change if the Court’s 6-3 majority chooses to extend a Second Amendment right of self-defense beyond the home. The Court’s grant of certiorari in the Corlett case indicates that at least four of its six conservative Justices are inclined in that direction.
