Supreme Court To Hear Case On Firearm Transport
In what could be the most significant gun rights case since D.C. v.

The case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. New York, may determine whether New York City’s previous ban on transporting a licensed, locked and unloaded handgun from a location within the City to a home or shooting range outside of the city limits was constitutionally allowed.
