Protecting Your Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Until recently, it was unclear as to what constitutional rights under the Second Amendment were conveyed to an individual, if any. The 2008 United States Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia vs. Heller concluded that an individual does have the right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment. The next question was whether this right also applied to the states. In McDonald vs. City of Chicago, a 2010 Supreme Court ruling, it was concluded that the 14th Amendment due process clause makes the Second Amendment rights applicable also to states and municipalities. In 2013, Illinois became the last state to authorize the issuance of concealed carry licenses.
