The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that the Superior Court erred when it heard the appeal of a man whose gun ownership was curtailed because of an involuntary mental health hospitalization.

In an Oct. 15 opinion authored by Supreme Court Justice Debra Todd, the court reversed the Superior Court’s ruling in favor of petitioner J.M.Y. in In re Petition of J.M.Y. Chief Justice Thomas Saylor filed a concurring opinion.
