Thursday\u2019s decision is the widest expansion of gun rights in more than a decade, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/supreme-court-strikes-down-new-york-law-on-concealed-weapons-11655995248?mod=hp_lead_pos1\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The case centered on a 1911 New York state law that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/supreme-court-weighs-challenge-to-new-york-states-concealed-weapons-permit-law-11635931800?mod=article_inline\">conditioned<\/a> the right to a concealed carry permit on \u201cgood moral character\u201d and \u201cproper cause.\u201d The Supreme Court majority opinion, written by Justice Clarence Thomas, took issue with the latter condition, which unlawfully forced New Yorkers to demonstrate \u201ca special need for self-defense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant\u2019s right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense,\u201d Thomas wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew York\u2019s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment in that it prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a breaking story.
