Supreme Court to render opinion on concealed carry in New York

 Washington Examiner:

The Supreme Court will soon issue an opinion in a major Second Amendment case over whether New Yorkers have the right to carry concealed handguns in public for self-defense, which many legal experts say could lead to the expansion of gun rights.

Justices on the high court, which has a 6-3 Republican-appointed majority, are expected to issue an opinion no later than late June or early July in the case New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen. The case involves two men who were denied a special need or "proper cause" license to carry a concealed pistol or revolver that is required under a New York law that has been in place since 1913.

Carrie Severino, the president of the prominent conservative group the Judicial Crisis Network, told the Washington Examiner the challenge with New York's restrictive law is that it "effectively makes it impossible" to obtain an open or concealed carry permit "without having some specific threat against you."

HOCHUL VOWS NEW GUN LEGISLATION IF SUPREME COURT OVERTURNS NEW YORK FIREARMS LAW

"The idea is you kind of need to have some specific threat against you. So, living in a really dangerous neighborhood doesn't matter," Severino said, arguing that the Second Amendment is broadly meant to apply to the general public.

...

New York can be a dangerous place and the crooks already ignore the law.

Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
