Supreme Court faces new gun control cases :: 08/23/2011
Washington, D.C., United States (AHN) - The Supreme Court is being asked again to redefine rights to gun ownership in a new petition.
The court is expected to decide whether to hear the case within weeks.
The petition was filed by a Maryland man who was arrested for carrying a handgun in his backpack. He did not have a license for it.
He argues that he should not need a license after the Supreme Court's ruling three years ago in District of Columbia v. Heller.
