Supreme Court Issues Emergency Order Denying Immediate Block of Firearm Permits! What Now?
The Supreme Court denied an emergency order seeking to block New York's rifle and shotgun permit requirements in the SRAER v. City of New York case. This decision allows New York's discretionary 'may issue' permit scheme, which requires applicants to prove 'good moral character,' to remain in effect while the case proceeds through the Second Circuit. The denial does not signify a final ruling on the merits of the case, which challenges the permit scheme's constitutionality in light of the Bruin decision.
