Jumping the Gun
Listen now
Description
Robert Nash is a law abiding citizen of New York. When crime started to rise in his neighborhood, he sought a license to carry a gun outside his home. But state law left it to the discretion of a judge as to whether a citizen’s reasons to carry were good enough. Nash took the case all the way to the US Supreme Court. Legal Docket is made possible in part by Samaritan Ministries, a Biblical and affordable solution to health care, connecting more than 280,000 Christians across the nation who help pay one another’s medical bills.
