Gavin Newsom had some choice words for the United States Supreme Court Thursday.
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA - DECEMBER 22: Gov. Gavin Newsom takes questions from the media during a press conference at the Native American Health Center in Oakland, Calif., on Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2021. Newsom had some choice words for the U.S. Supreme Court after the body on Thursday overturned a New York law that placed limits on who could carry a firearm outside their home.
The justices ruled 6-3 that the New York law, which required concealed-carry applicants to demonstrate a compelling need to carry a firearm outside the home, infringed on a person's right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment. While no specific California laws were directly overturned in the court's ruling, many state and local laws are now vulnerable to legal challenges. For example,applicants to demonstrate that they have"good cause" to carry a weapon outside the home. Legal scholars have typically defined"good cause" as an immediate danger to the applicant or a family member.
Under current law, local law enforcement agencies — such as city police departments or county sheriff's offices — are responsible for determining if an applicant has good cause for carrying a weapon outside the home.
