Antonyuk v. James
Petition for certiorari granted, judgment vacated, and case remanded to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit for further consideration in light of United States v. Rahimi on July 2, 2024.
Issues: (1) Whether the proper historical time period for ascertaining the Second Amendment’s original meaning is 1791, rather than 1868; and (2) whether New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act permissibly requires “the people” to convince government officials of their “good moral character” before exercising their Second Amendment right to bear arms in public.
