I don’t know that name of the case, but I know it’s about the rights of gunowners to transport their weapons. The New York law in question is ridiculously strict, so much so that the law has effectively been abandoned. It appears that is the defense being offered by the state (city?). That it’s a moot point and there’s no need for the Supremes to address it.
It’s an important case. However, SCOTUS is notorious for deciding cases as narrowly as possible. We’ll see what happens.
I remember looking into owning a handgun in NY back in the 1980s.
One of the handgun permits was, as I recall, a “premises permit,” which meant that the handgun could be transported from the gun dealer to the permit holder’s residence or place of business. After that, it could not be removed from that premises for things like practicing or maintenance. I seem to recall that the only reason the handgun could leave the premises was for it to be sold to a licensed dealer.
The law was absolutely asinine, as is the case for so many laws in NY. After all, the Sullivan Act was sponsored by an incredibly corrupt pol in the early 1900s, primarily to keep Blacks from being able to protect themselves against the Klan. That was when the Klan REALLY WAS a power in the USA... They pretty much took over the 1924 dem national convention at Madison Square Garden in NYC.
