Conservative US Supreme Court justices on Wednesday appeared ready to shoot down New York state's limits on carrying concealed handguns in public in a major gun rights case that could imperil various firearms restrictions nationally.
Justice Samuel Alito wondered why only “celebrities, state judges and retired police officers” should be able to carry concealed guns, and not ordinary citizens.
A ruling invalidating New York's law would prompt legal questions surrounding how and when local governments can regulate firearms in sensitive places. Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett said states throughout history have outlawed guns in sensitive places.
