The 6-3 decision is the latest in a series of moves by the increasingly conservative high court to adopt a muscular interpretation of the right to bear arms.
The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of gun owners who want to carry their weapons outside the home, striking down New York state’s rules giving local officials broad authority to deny such permits for almost any reason.
The 6-3 decision, which divided the court along the usual ideological lines, is the latest in a series of moves by the increasingly conservative high court to adopt a muscular interpretation of the right to bear arms found in the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

SCOTUS's gun ruling isn't revolutionary. It's sensible. "Bear arms" means "bear arms," but the court takes pains to note that the right is rooted in self-defense and available to those who are "law-abiding" and "responsible." It is not license for the lawless.

In other words, carry laws in 43 states remain unaffected by today's SCOTUS ruling. Only permitting policies in CA, HI, NY, MA, MD, NJ, and to a lesser extent CT and DE are immediately affected. https://t.co/rOVdeD54iJ
