Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
18-824 3rd Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2019

Issues: (1) Whether the Second Amendment protects the right to carry a firearm outside the home for self-defense; and (2) whether the government may deny categorically the exercise of the right to carry a firearm outside the home to typical law-abiding citizens by conditioning the exercise of the right on a showing of a special need to carry a firearm.
