This strategy could provide a blueprint for challenging similar bans in states like California, Illinois, New York, and Maryland, potentially leading to broader legal battles and even Supreme Court review.

The Supreme Court has refused to hear the case of Shenthal v. Raul, which challenged Illinois' ban on carrying firearms on public transit.
