NEW YORK - The Supreme Court has ruled that New York's concealed carry statute that requires an individual to establish "proper cause" in order to obtain a license violates the Constitution by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense.New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen had been a long-term case against NY's handgun-licensing law.New York courts defined "proper cause" to require applicants to show a "special need" to defend themselves and not just wanted to protect themselves.The plaintiffs claimed that the Second Amendment gives people the right to bear arms."Thus, the nation is split, with the Second Amendment alive and well in the vast middle of the nation, and those same rights disregarded near the coasts," Clement wrote on behalf of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, or NYSRPA, and two residents.This was the court's first case on gun rights since Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the bench in October, making it a 6-3 conservative majority on the court.
