Videos tagged with Subjective Standards

This video details the case of Leonard Mirabal, who was denied a concealed carry permit in Carlstadt, New Jersey, twice due to his non-criminal driving record and alleged 'lack of good temperament.' The report highlights the subjective nature of New Jersey's permitting process, which appears to contradict the spirit of the Bruen decision. Mirabal's eventual success in obtaining both a job-specific and an unrestricted carry permit from the New Jersey State Police underscores the inconsistencies and potential overreach of local authorities.

This expert analysis from Armed Scholar details the critical Supreme Court case Whitaker v. D.C., which challenges subjective criteria used to deny concealed carry permits. The video highlights how states like California and New York are using similar 'good moral character' requirements post-Bruen, and how this case could strike down such subjective tests nationwide. It also addresses government tactics to moot legal challenges by granting permits only after lawsuits are filed.
