Does any state have the legal authority to arbitrarily decide whether or not you get to exercise your right to keep and bear arms? That is the question in the case New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA) v. Bruen. New York State is one of six “may issue” states, meaning that you may not get your carry license even if you’ve met all of the legal requirements to do so.

In New York State, you had to show you had a special need for self-defense, greater than the general public. Does that sound like an infringement on your right to keep and bear arms to you?

The State of New York makes it a crime to possess a firearm without a license, whether inside or outside the home. An individual who wants to carry a firearm outside his home may obtain an unrestricted license to “have and carry” a concealed “pistol or revolver” if he can prove that “proper cause exists” for doing so.

Let’s start with the obvious. The Constitution, as the supreme law of the land, makes this New York State law invalid and void.
