The Supreme Court received a petition Wednesday that could have the justices debating concealed carry laws just four years after deciding a landmark case.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the Supreme Court struck down New York\u2019s discretionary system for issuing concealed carry permits in June 2022, Maryland and other states enacted laws that imposed extensive restrictions on where permit holders could carry. The Second Amendment Foundation filed the for a writ of certiorari with the high court along with Maryland Shall Issue, Firearms Policy Coalition, the Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association and four private citizens.

\u201cThe bans on firearms on public transit, at public demonstrations, and in State parks and State forests predate this Court\u2019s decision in Bruen. The rest are new carry limitations that were enacted as part of the sweeping \u2018Gun Safety Act of 2023,\u2019\u201d the petition says. \u201cCompanion legislation enacted during that same legislative session removed the requirement that licenses to carry only be granted upon a showing of a \u2018good and substantial reason,\u2019 as Maryland courts had held that requirement unconstitutional in light of Bruen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the provisions Maryland enacted were prohibitions for carry on mass transit, restaurants, demonstrations and medical facilities, as well as \u201cpresumptively\u201d banning concealed carry on private property open to the public, also called a \u201cvampire rule,\u201d citing the law\u2019s requirement for permit holders to be invited in. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit struck down portions of a similar law enacted by New York in response to Bruen in a decision issued Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the Supreme Court\u2019s 2022 ruling in\u00a0Bruen, states have found novel ways to circumvent not only the Court\u2019s holdings, but to continue infringing on the core rights protected by the Second Amendment,\u201d SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut said in Wednesday\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

\u201cStates that for many years refused to grant carry permits at all \u2013 and were forced to do so after\u00a0Bruen \u2013\u00a0<\/em>passed these so-called \u2018sensitive places\u2019 carry bans resulting in citizens continuing to have their right to bear arms trampled,\u201d SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said. \u201cEven with permits, residents in Maryland still face five years in jail for carrying a firearm just about anywhere people actually need or want to go out in public.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the split between the Second and Fourth Circuits would make acceptance of the appeal likely, SAF Senior Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack told the Daily Caller News Foundation the high court had already heard a case touching on some of the provisions of the \u201csensitive places\u201d laws.

\u201cSCOTUS has already heard arguments on Wolford, the Vampire Rule case out of Hawaii, in which we filed an amicus brief,\u201d Sack said. \u201cSo it\u2019s probably more likely that the Wolford opinion has some material effect on all of the remaining Vampire Rule challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
