Reaching for handgun rights
Last week the Supreme Court granted certiorari in a case challenging a New York City gun regulation, and the court’s decision may well shred the essential fabric of today’s state and local gun laws.
Romolo Colantone, Jose Irizarry and Efrain Alvarez are licensed New York City handgun owners. They have the right to carry their locked and unloaded pistols and ammunition from their homes, to and from the seven shooting ranges in the city. They do not have the right to do so to ranges outside the city. Nor can Colantone carry his pistol to his second home beyond city limits. Cities all across New York, California and other states do not prohibit such transfers.
