Bevin Joins 23 states in challenging New York handgun law By Nicole Burton Frankfort, KY - Gov. Matt Bevin has joined 23 other states in a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief in defense of Second Amendment rights. The brief challenges a New York City handgun law that criminalizes taking a handgun outside the home. The brief recognizes this restriction as both "inconsistent with history" and "unreasonable," noting that "carrying arms outside of the home, historically, was a vital component of self-defense." "This is the first Second Amendment case heard by the Supreme Court in nearly a decade," said Steve Pitt, General Counsel to Gov. Bevin. "We joined this case without reservation because Kentuckians have a vested interest in ensuring that states like New York cannot infringe upon the right of Kentucky citizens to bear arms. It is critically important that the Supreme Court hear directly from the Commonwealth when deciding this important issue." In October, Gov. Bevin joined a 16-state coalition in an amicus brief requesting that the Supreme Court hear the case. The court granted certiorari in January, and Kentucky immediately banded with 23 other states to file this brief in support of the case's merits. Gov. Bevin was joined by the Governor of Mississippi in signing the brief. Twenty-two additional states joined the brief through their Attorneys General, including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. A copy of the brief is available here: www.dropbox.com/s/azs1eoly7xp1nlq/18-280%20Amici%20Brief%20Louisiana%2C%20et%20al..pdf?dl=0 (PDF). This story was posted on 2019-05-20 11:31:49
