The case, <em>New York State Rifle &amp; Pistol Association v. Corlett,\u00a0<\/em>will force the Court to address whether or not Americans can be forced to prove the need to carry a firearm for self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>Under New York law, a person must apply for a permit to carry but he or she must prove \u201cproper cause\u201d exists. New York is a \u201cmay issue\u201d state, meaning it\u2019s up to local law enforcement agencies \u2013 generally sheriffs \u2013 to determine whether or not a person\u2019s \u201cneed\u201d to carry a firearm is valid.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: The Supreme Court agrees to take up a major gun rights case. In NY State Rifle &amp; Pistol Assoc. v. Corlett, the justices will consider the extent to which the Second Amendment protects the right to carry guns outside the home for self-defense. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0uGurWn46r\">pic.twitter.com\/0uGurWn46r<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SCOTUSblog\/status\/1386674718015692805?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 26, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Two of the petitioners, Robert Nash and Brandon Koch, applied for carry permits but were denied for various reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNash, for instance, requested to carry a handgun for self-defense after a string of robberies in his neighborhood. But he was denied because he did not demonstrate a special need for self-defense. Koch wanted a similar license, and he was able to cite his experience of participating in safety training courses,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/04\/26\/politics\/supreme-court-second-amendment-case\/index.html\">CNN<\/a> reported. \u201cHe too was denied.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The petitioners argued the Second Amendment protects a person\u2019s right to carry a firearm outside of the home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA small minority persists in denying the right to typical law-abiding citizens, instead of reserving self-defense rights to the small subset of individuals whom the state deems worthy,\u201d they argue. \u201cNew York is illustrative: It curtails fundamental, individuals self-defense rights. The governmental insistence upon a unique showing of <em>need\u00a0<\/em>ignores that the Second Amendment broadly guarantees rights to all \u2018the people.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last landmark Second Amendment case the High Court heard was in 2010 with the <em>McDonald v. City of Chicago <\/em>case, which found that an individual\u2019s right to keep and bear arms for self-defense applies at the federal, state, and local levels. Before that, in 2008, the Court heard <em>District of Columbia v. Heller, <\/em>which declared the Second Amendment protects an individual\u2019s right to keep and bear arms unconnected from service in a militia.<\/p>\n<p>Gun rights groups applauded the Court\u2019s decision to hear the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe entire gun rights community has waited for many years for this news,\u201d Second Amendment Foundation F<\/span><span class=\"s1\">ounder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb said in a statement. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u201cA right that exists only in one\u2019s home is not a right at all. We do not limit the right of free speech, or freedom of the press, or the practice of one\u2019s religion, or the right to legal counsel just to someone\u2019s residence. And ultimately, that\u2019s what we\u2019re talking about, constitutionally-protected fundamental rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe court rarely takes Second Amendment cases. Now it\u2019s decided to hear one of the most critical Second Amendment issues,\u201d National Rifle Association Insititute for Legislative Action Executive Director Jason Ouimet said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re confident that the court will tell New York and the other states that our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves is fundamental, and doesn\u2019t vanish when we leave our homes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Supreme Court has \u2018kicked the can\u2019 on the Second Amendment for far too long,\u201d Gun Owners of America Senior Vice President Erich Pratt said in a statement. \u201cThe time has come for the Court to stand for the Constitution and Bill of Rights and strike down onerous \u2018may issue\u2019 carry restrictions. To ensure that the \u201ctext and history\u201d \u2014 as outlined in the <em>Heller<\/em> case \u2014 is heard before the Court, GOA and GOF will be filing an <em>amicus<\/em> brief in this case.<\/p>\n<p>The decision in this case is likely to impact other potential landmark Second Amendment cases that are making their way through the system.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
