The Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to review a case that contests New York City’s prohibition on the transportation of personal firearms outside city limits.
The petition for certiorari comes from a case brought by the New York State Pistol & Rifle Association (NYSPRA) alongside other gun owners against the city of New York.
Current law restricts gun owners from transferring unloaded guns anywhere outside city limits, even if they are adequately licensed. According to the law, the license restricts “the holder’s possession to the address listed on the license,” except when transporting to an authorized shooting club/gun range.
