NYSRPA v Bruen Explained

The landmark Supreme Court case New York State Rifle and Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen expanded Second Amendment rights and called into question a number of state laws restricting public carry. Prof. Joseph Blocher of Duke Law School explains how Bruen differentiated between "may issue" and "shall issue" public carry laws. Blocher explains how Justice Thomas, writing for the majority, questions the discretion in "may issue" states and finds them problematic. As a result, Justice Thomas knocks down New York's concealed carry law and in the process changes the landscape of what it means to regulate guns in public. ► For more legal explainers and interviews with the titans of law, visit: http://www.talksonlaw.com ► Watch the titans of law interview with Prof. Joseph Blocher on NYSRPA v.
