Supreme Court takes up the most important gun rights case in more than a decade.
in more than a decade Wednesday, one that both sides hope will clarify how much protection the Second Amendment provides for carrying a gun outside the home.
Among the law's challengers are the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, an affiliate of the National Rifle Association, and two men who applied for general permits to carry a gun for protection but were turned down. A federal judge and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit rejected their challenge.
The two sides differ strongly on the kinds of limitations that have historically been allowed, because the Supreme Court's landmark 2008 ruling said the Second Amendment does not prohibit long-standing, traditionally accepted gun regulations of firearms.
