The U.S. Supreme Court hasn't issued a major gun-rights decision in more than a decade. That is about to change. In its next term, the hight court will hear a major new Second Amendment dispute, agreeing to use a New York case to consider whether the government must let most people carry a handgun in public for self-defense.

Do you have an inherent right to self defense?
The justices said they will take up an appeal by a National Rifle Association affiliate and two people who say the state is violating their constitutional rights by issuing concealed-carry licenses only to those who can show a special need for protection.

Should you have to show a special need? Is that even legal?
The case, which the court will consider in the nine-month term that starts in October, will put the justices in the middle of one of the country's most fractious debates. It will pit people who see public gun possession as a matter of self-defense and individual freedom against others who say the result will be more crime and reduced public safety.
New York is one of eight states -- along with California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware and Hawaii -- that the National Rifle Association says prevent most people from getting a carry license. Illinois and the District of Columbia also had sharp restrictions before their laws were invalidated in court.
The Supreme Court in June refused to take up challenges to the New Jersey, Massachusetts and Maryland laws. That was before Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death and Trump's successful nomination of Justice Amy Coney Barrett strengthened the court's conservative majority. Four justices must agree for the court to take up a case.

Second amendment lawyer and criminal defense lawyer Russ Richeslsoph explains what is at stake as the Supremes consider overturning a law that has been in place since 1913. Perhaps settling on a major scale whether you have the right to self defense.

Regardless of what any court says, I (and everyone else on the planet) have a God given right to self defense.

Jus' sayin'...

I'm with you, JustSomeGuy, it's comforting to see the Supreme Court of the land defending our case over all the liberal state courts. This could be a game changer. You being from Washington, even your Insurance Commissioner jumped in and forced most of the self defense legal defense out of the state. You covered?

Quoted for Truth, and for the gentle reminder that the 2A was written to control the Government, not the people.

What are the potential consequences if the court does not rule in favor of gun owners?

What are the potential consequences if the court does not rule in favor of gun owners?

I haven't read deeply into it but it's my understanding the current bad laws would stand. This is nothing but a potential win and shift in favor of gun ownership and carrying.

If it weren't for the fact that my family has owned the property I live on for well over 100 years, I wouldn't be living in Washington.

Seems like most carry laws are in place as a means to deny 2A rights.

Then any constitutional right can be denied based on 'special needs' of the applicant determined by bureaucrats with lifetime employment and liability protection.

Brown vs. Board involved overturning decades of established jurisprudence.
Current 2A protections are not the same as they were in 1934 either. This has the gun grabbers all a-dither, so it must be good.
