U.S. SUPREME COURT ASKED TO CONSIDER

SAF, ANJRPC RIGHT TO CARRY CASE

 

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation and Association of New

Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs today asked the U.S. Supreme Court to

hear the appeal in the challenge to New Jersey’s unconstitutional carry

laws. The case is Drake v. Jerejian.

Prepared by attorneys Alan Gura (who won Second Amendment victories in the groundbreaking

Heller and McDonald cases) and David Jensen, today’s petition is the

latest effort to bring a right-to-carry case before the high court and

is the next step in the process of resolving the differing opinions of

lower courts on the right to bear arms for personal protection outside

the home.

“The right to self-defense is sacrosanct,” said

SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, “yet has been

disparaged and denied to all but an elite few in states like New Jersey.

Individuals and families should not be deprived of the right to defend

themselves and we intend to change that.”

In part: "

The notion that carrying handguns outside the

home is “conduct falling outside the scope of the

Second Amendment’s guarantee,” App. 19a, simply

cannot be squared with Heller.

Surely, the majoritybelow erred in holding that 1913 and 1924 state lawsare “longstanding” regulations altering the scope of aconstitutional right as understood by its 1791 Framers. “Constitutional rights are enshrined with the

scope they were understood to have when the peopleadopted them, whether or not future legislatures or

(yes) even future judges think that scope too broad.”

Heller, 554 U.S. at 634-35

 

 

And don't whine "Oh, it's TOOOOOO LOOOOOONG to read!" Book mark it and read it in sections.

Good I hope rights are restored.
