The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to an, to me, absurd NYC law re: transportation of a legally licensed gun outside the city.
The law prohibits moving the gun to any place other than one of the 7 ranges in the city. Thus, someone who has a second home outside the city, or wishes to go to a range outside the city, is barred from doing so. By the way, going to the range in NYC involves the range documenting your visit. What other right involves that?
I think this is a no brainer as to outcome, my belief is the law will definitely fall. If the city is looking to safeguard guns, how is leaving it behind in an empty apartment, perhaps for an extended period, safer than it being safeguarded by it's owner?
Importantly, this shows the new makeup of the court is willing to hear 2A challenges.

By the way, read some of the reader comments. Even several anti's think this law is ridiculous.
