How solid of a case is this? This would be huge if they grant cert on this case. This is Drake v. Jerejian.

Gun rights may return to Supreme Court's agenda
Richard Wolf, USA TODAY 3:49 p.m. EDT April 13, 2014
WASHINGTON — The push and pull over the Second Amendment right to bear arms is heating up again, thanks in part to a former Supreme Court justice's new book.
Friday, the high court will consider whether to hear a challenge to a New Jersey law restricting the right to carry guns in public. If the court grants the petition, it would be the most important gun control case since the justices upheld the right to keep handguns at home for self-defense in 2008.
New Jersey law enforcement groups defend the state's requirement that citizens prove a "justifiable need" to carry handguns outside the home, whether openly or concealed from view. In their brief, they claim the law "qualifies as a presumptively lawful, longstanding regulation that does not burden conduct within the scope of the Second Amendment's guarantee."
