2/23/2018: The plaintiff argued that the law violates the Second Amendment.
D.C. v. Heller, “guarantee[s] the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.”
Keep in mind that Justive Scalia defined “bear” as carry as did Justice Ginsberg.

The appellate court ruled that the court “delineated the precise scope of the Second Amendment or the standards by which lower courts should assess the constitutionality of firearms restrictions.” Judge Lynch used the same argument as in the SCOTUS case D.C. v. Heller.

SCOTUS: The Petition for Writ of Certiorari states the City of New York has not provided evidence that transportation of a stored, unloaded handgun with ammo separate from the gun poses a risk outside the city limits of New York. This goes to the “core” of the 2nd Amendment

Keeping in mind that this “rule” or what some call a “law” is part of the many restrictions NY has forced on their residents. Chipping away their 2nd Amendments. You will see as the thread continues that NY is fully aware because of what they do next

However, the language in the rules state “The licensee may transport his/her handgun(s) “directly to and from authorized” with the below list of locations.

SCOTUS ordered the DOJ to weigh in on if the case was “moot”. DOJ determined “petitioners could still seek and a court could still award actual or nominal damages on account of the transport ban's alleged violation of their Second Amendment rights.” https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/18-280/122653/20191115171839625_Letter%2018-280%20%20views.pdf

Most likely the rules in NYC will be struck down. SCOTUS has avoided narrowing the scope of the 2nd Amendment and most likely will continue that pattern. Either way, the ruling in this case will have lasting affects.
