The Supreme Court has recently determined that the Second Amendment permits persons to carry firearms outside the home. This ruling invalidated the New York state statute requiring a special permission to conceal carry a pistol in public.

Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York, is enraged by the court’s decision.
