4. Reasoning
Withregard to DC v. Heller(2008) the Supreme Court identifiesthe 2nd
amendmentas
guaranteeing“anindividual righttopossessandcarryweaponsincase of confrontation.This
basicallymakesself-defense the central righttothe 2nd
amendment.
However,theydon’tmentionanyplacesthatare considered“sensitive”forprohibitingfirearms,
so theywill throwoutthisinformationwhenrulingonthe case.
Theydecidedtoapplyintermediate scrutinytothe situationprohibitingfirearmsinaworship
place because itremovesthe threatof fearfromattendees
Due to subsectionbof the statute,PastorWilkinsisalsoallowedtocarrya gunat workas long
as he gets the approval of security/managementpersonnel.
