Court case will test extent of gun rights

The new case — which the justices will probably hear in January and rule on by July — centers on a Chicago handgun ban similar to a Washington law the Supreme Court struck down in June 2008 as a violation of the Second Amendment. In District of Columbia v. Heller, the court for the first time declared an individual right to firearms for self-defense and rejected a prevailing lower court view that the Second Amendment applied only to state \”militia,\” such as National Guard units.

Yet the 5-4 decision left open a key question that could have more practical consequences for gun owners and states: Does the Second Amendment apply to the states and localities as it does to the federal enclave of Washington?
