Re: Supreme Court to take up NY gun rights case

I'm confused on how NYC enforces this law. On the face of it, it appears that a NYC resident only violates the law if they leave the city with their gun. But as soon as they leave the city limits, they are no longer under the jurisdiction of NYC city ordinances, including this one.

Maybe the law is written to say something like "it is unlawful to transport a handgun unless the registered owner is transiting directly from their home to a licensed gun range that is within the city limits of NYC...."? Even then, the law would only be violated once the gun owner drove past the gun range in question. Maybe someone should open a range that sits right at the city limits and bypass this whole issue.

Regardless, this seems like a great test case since it is an easy win for our side. There also is the opportunity for the SCOTUS to establish precedent on the constitutionality of restrictions on the carrying of arms in general.
