Gun rights could expand after upcoming Supreme Court case

AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM. >> Dana: THEY ARE SO BRAVE. THANK GOD THEY WERE THERE. THE SUPREME COURT IS TAKING UP A CASE THAT COULD LEAD TO EXPANDING GUN RIGHTS. THE NEW YORK STATE RIFLE AND PISTOL ASSOCIATION IS CHALLENGING THE STATE’S CONCEAL CARRY GUN LAWS. OUR NEXT GUEST IS A MEMBER OF THE GROUP. THEY SAY JUDGES APPLY THEM ARBITRARILY. YOU MUST BE GLAD THE SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR THIS CASE? >> I’M ECSTATIC. I HOPED FOR THIS FOR YEARS AND FINALLY IT’S COME TO FRUITION. I HOPE FOR A GREAT OUTCOME AND WE HAVE THE FACTS BEHIND US. >> Dana: TELL US ABOUT THE LAW YOU ARE CHALLENGING. >> IN NEW YORK PISTOL PERMIT SYSTEM IS VERY ARBITRARY. IT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND ESSENTIALLY WHEN YOU ALIE FOR A PISTOL LICENSE, YOU MOST LIKELY WILL GET A PERMIT OR RESTRICTED PERMIT THAT ALLOWS YOU ONLY TO USE IT AS HUNTING, TARGET SHOOTING OR MAYBE HIKING. CONCEAL CARRY PERMITS IN MANY PARTS OF THE STATE AREN’T GIVEN AND IT IS UP TO THE BELIEFS OR WHIMS OF THE ISSUING OFFICER IN EVERY COUNTY AND THE ISSUING OFFICER IS USUALLY A JUDGE, SOMETIMES A SHERIFF. BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE CHANGED. 43 OTHER STATES IN THE NATION GIVE CONCEAL CARRY PERMITS. WHY SHOULD NEW YORK BE ANY DIFFERENT? >> Dana: IT’S THE HELLER DECISION THAT CAME OUT OF WASHINGTON, D.C. THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL" HEADLINE TODAY. GUN RIGHTS RETURN TO THE SUPREME COURT. I HAD HEARD THERE WERE SOME ANTI-GUN RIGHTS GROUPS OR GUN CONTROL GROUPS WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS NOT A CASE THAT THEY SHOULD TRY TO CHALLENGE BECAUSE THEY ARE CONCERNED THAT THE SUPREME COURT WOULD ACTUALLY AGREE WITH GUN RIGHTS ADVOCATES. >> THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THERE WAS A CASE A COUPLE YEARS AGO THERE WHERE THE D.C. CIRCUIT RULED THAT NOT GIVING CONCEAL CARRY PERMITS WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. D.C. DECIDED NOT TO APPEAL IT. I THINK THAT IT HAS GONE PAST THAT POINT NOW AND I THINK WE ARE GOING TO COURT. >> Dana: IT WILL BE ANOTHER PROBABLY YEAR BEFORE WE HAVE THIS DECISION. ARE YOU ANTICIPATING THAT PEOPLE THAT WANT MORE GUN CONTROL ARE GOING TO START A BIG P.R. CAMPAIGN TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE ON THEIR SIDE BEFORE THIS COURT WOULD RULE? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, DANA, I CAN’T IMAGINE THAT THERE COULD BE ANY MORE OF A BIG CAMPAIGN AGAINST GUNS IN THE UNITED STATES THAN THERE CURRENTLY IS, YOU KNOW. ALL YOU HEAR PARTICULARLY IN A STATE LIKE NEW YORK IS HOW DANGEROUS GUNS ARE AND WHAT WHY IT HAS TO BE LIMITED. THEY DON’T TALK ABOUT THE CITIES LIKE CHICAGO, DETROIT, LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK CITY WHERE VIOLENT CRIME IS RUNNING RAMPANT. THAT’S JUST SWEPT UNDER THE RUG. >> Dana: WE’LL STAY IN TOUCH
