On June 23, the U.S. Supreme Court scrapped a New York law requiring individuals to show "proper cause" in order to obtain a license to carry a firearm outside a home.

'Newsweek' reports that the 100-year-old law was challenged by the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association and gun owners Brandon Koch and Robert Nash.

Koch and Nash reportedly argued that they were denied unrestricted gun licenses by the state due to allegedly failing to meet "proper cause" requirements.
