Muggings in the Woods? Chief Justice Roberts Quizzes N.Y. on Its Gun Law

U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts had a hard question for New York about its law restricting the carrying of concealed weapons outside the home.

At oral arguments before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, the state’s lawyer was trying to convince the justices that carrying a gun in a densely populated area presents a greater danger than toting the weapon in a rural area.
