Frequently Asked Questions

What did the Supreme Court's 6-3 Bruen decision change about concealed carry?

The Supreme Court's 6-3 Bruen decision fundamentally altered concealed carry by establishing self-defense as a valid reason to carry firearms in public. It ended the decades-old 'proper cause' standard used by many states, which required applicants to prove a specific threat to obtain a permit.

What is the new legal standard for firearm restrictions after the Bruen decision?

Following the Bruen decision, the Supreme Court replaced balancing tests with a 'text and history' standard. This means any firearm restriction must now be rooted in the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation, dating back to 1791 or 1868, to be considered constitutional.

How have states responded to the Bruen decision regarding concealed carry?

Many states, including New York and California, responded by enacting new laws that designate 'sensitive places' where carrying firearms is banned, such as parks, public transit, and churches. These new laws are currently facing legal challenges in federal courts.

Does data support the idea that 'shall issue' concealed carry laws increase crime?

Studies from organizations like the Rand Corporation and Stanford University show varying results. However, data from states like Florida indicates very low permit revocation rates (under 0.1%), suggesting that law-abiding concealed carriers are not significantly contributing to crime increases.
