The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday declined to hear a challenge to a strict New York law requiring residents to show "proper cause" before being issued a license to carry a handgun in a public place. The court did not comment in turning away an appeal from a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (NYLJ, Nov. 28, 2012).
Kachalsky v. County of Westchester, 12-845, was brought by Rye Brook solo practitioner Alan Kachalsky and several others who had been denied a license, and the Second Amendment Foundation, which was removed from the case for lack of standing. Their lawsuit also drew support from the National Rifle Association and 20 states.
