The U.S. Supreme Court has granted certiorari to the case of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc., et al. v. Corlett, et al., challenging New York’s ban on concealed carry of handguns without “proper cause.” It is about time the Supreme Court affirms the right of not only New Yorkers but all Americans to carry arms outside the home. Current New York law states that a concealed carry license to carry a handgun outside the house “without regard to employment or place of possession” may only be granted “when proper cause exists for issuance thereof.” Essentially, this means that it is virtually impossible to be approved for a concealed carry license unless one is a police officer, a retired police officer, a military service member or a former military service member or unless one has fame and connections to the mayor.
