The US Supreme Court denied review of the Oakland Tactical Supply v. Howell Township case, allowing the Sixth Circuit's ruling to stand. This decision permits townships to enact zoning ordinances that restrict the location and distance of firearms training facilities, even for long-range shooting. The court reasoned that while the right to train is ancillary to the Second Amendment, it does not extend to training in any particular location or at extreme distances, nor does it mandate commercial operations for such training.
The US Supreme Court denied certiorari in Oakland Tactical Supply v. How Township, a case concerning the scope of training with firearms on long-range shooting facilities and associated zoning rules. While the court acknowledged the argument that the right to train is an ancillary right to the Second Amendment, they declined to hear the case, potentially due to its idiosyncratic nature and the existence of other, more impactful Second Amendment cases pending review, such as the Snope case regarding AR-15 bans.
This video discusses a critical Supreme Court petition filed by the Firearms Policy Coalition concerning Oakland Tactical Supply v. H. Township. The case challenges how local zoning laws can be used to circumvent Second Amendment rights, specifically the right to train with firearms. The Sixth Circuit's ruling, which found that zoning restrictions on commercial shooting ranges do not implicate the Second Amendment, contradicts other circuits and could have broad negative implications for firearm ownership and training if not overturned by the Supreme Court.
