Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Malpass v. Palazzi Supreme Court case about?

The Malpass v. Palazzi case, originating from Maryland, is being considered by the Supreme Court to address whether states can require individuals to show 'good cause' or 'substantial reason' to obtain a permit to carry firearms outside the home.

Why are states requiring 'good cause' for gun permits controversial?

Requiring 'good cause' for gun permits is controversial because it implies that the right to bear arms, a constitutionally recognized right, is not absolute and can be restricted based on an individual's perceived need, which opponents argue is inconsistent with other fundamental rights.

How have lower courts ruled on the right to bear arms outside the home?

Lower courts have issued conflicting rulings. Some, like the Seventh Circuit, hold the right applies equally inside and outside the home. Others, like the First and Second Circuits, see it as applying but in a weaker form, while the Third and Fourth Circuits have declined to rule, and the Ninth and Tenth Circuits have stated it doesn't protect concealed carry.

Which organizations are supporting the Malpass v. Palazzi case?

The Second Amendment Foundation, Firearm Policy Coalition, Firearm Policy Foundation, California Gun Rights Foundation (CGF), and the Madison Society Foundation have filed briefs in support of the Malpass v. Palazzi case, advocating for a broader interpretation of Second Amendment rights.
