SALT LAKE CITY While the U.S. Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether the Constitution protects the right to carry a gun outside the home, a new Utah law making it easier to pack a concealed firearm in public takes effect next week.
The decision to take up the issue comes as a spate of mass shootings have rocked the country.
In 2008, the court ruled that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep a handgun in the home for self-defense. The justices now will consider a challenge to a New York law that requires anyone who wants to carry a gun in the state to show a good reason for doing so.
