How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting the argument that the plaintiff must apply for concealed-firemen license for which the plaintiff was statutorily ineligible to have standing to challenge a firearm license statute
• rejecting suggestion that a plaintiff must engage in the futile gesture of completing an application for which he or she is statutorily ineligible to create a justiciable controversy
• agreeing with the district court’s conclusion that “imposing an application requirement . . . would serve no purpose” (internal quotation marks omitted)
• finding failure to prevail on as-applied challenge fatal to facial challenge as well
• finding that a Virginia resident had standing to challenge a New York statute prohibiting issuance of a concealed-weapon permit even though he had not applied for a permit because he had been told that he was ineligible and applying for a permit would have been futile
• “[W]e hold that the Second Amendment’s ‘right to keep and bear arms’ imposes a limitation on only federal, not state, legislative efforts.”
