Comm2A Brings Gould v. Morgan to SCOTUS
Yesterday Comm2A filed a petition for Writ of Certiorari with the United States Supreme Court in Gould v. Morgan. Originally filed in February of 2014, Gould is a Second Amendment challenge to licensing policies in Brookline and Boston which require applicants to demonstrate a 'proper purpose' for carrying a firearm. If the court grants certiorari review the case will likely be heard during the October Term 2019. Gould v. Morgan represents the first time that Comm2A has brought a case all the way to the nation's highest court.
The Questions Present Are:
In December a cert petition was filed in Rogers v. Grewal, a challenge to the New Jersey law requiring applicants for a Handgun Carry Permit to demonstrate a "justifiable need to carry a handgun". Respondent New Jersey has until April 19th to file a response. The questions presented in Rogers are identical to those presented in Gould.

Morgan represents the first time that Comm2A has brought a case all the way to the nation's highest court.
The Questions Present Are:
- Whether the Second Amendment protects the right to carry a firearm outside the home for self-defense.
- Whether the government may deny categorically the exercise of the right to carry a firearm outside the home to typical law-abiding citizens by conditioning the exercise of the right on a showing of a special need to carry a firearm.
