Frequently Asked Questions

What is the core issue in the Supreme Court's new concealed carry case?

The Supreme Court is examining whether a state can impose a lifetime ban on handgun purchases for individuals convicted of a non-violent misdemeanor involving concealed carry in another state, even if they held a valid permit at the time of the offense.

How does the Bruen decision affect concealed carry laws?

The Bruen decision rejected intermediate scrutiny and affirmed that the Second Amendment extends beyond the home. This challenges lower court rulings that distinguished between carrying outside the home and the core right to bear arms, impacting how states can regulate concealed carry.

What is concealed carry reciprocity?

Concealed carry reciprocity refers to the mutual recognition of concealed carry permits between different states. The current case highlights issues where individuals with valid permits can face legal trouble if they cross state lines into a jurisdiction that does not recognize their permit or has stricter laws.

What happened to Dr. Alfred Morin in Washington D.C.?

Dr. Alfred Morin, a Massachusetts resident with a valid carry permit, was arrested in Washington D.C. for carrying a concealed handgun. He was charged with carrying without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful ammunition possession, leading to a misdemeanor conviction.
