Thomas Rogers, et al., Petitioners v. Gurbir Grewal, Attorney General of New Jersey, et al.

The case asked whether the Second Amendment protects carrying a gun outside the home for self-defense. On June 15, 2020, the Supreme Court declined review, so it did not decide that question and left the Third Circuit's result in place.

The Court declined review on June 15, 2020, but the prompt does not provide a vote count or opinion lineup.

That meant New Jersey's challenged carry-permit rules were not changed by the Supreme Court in this case. For example, people seeking to carry a handgun in New Jersey still had to follow the lower court's rule, not a new nationwide rule from the Supreme Court.

This docket action is over at the Supreme Court. The practical result is that the Third Circuit's judgment remained in effect unless changed in a different case or by lawmakers.

The petition asked whether the Second Amendment protects carrying a firearm outside the home for self-defense. The Supreme Court did not answer that question in this case.

People seeking permits to carry handguns in New Jersey were affected most directly. They remained subject to the existing lower-court-approved rules.

There was no further Supreme Court step in this docket. The case ended there, with the lower court's result left in place.
