Two years ago, the Supreme Court struck down a ban on handguns in Washington, D.C., citing the right to have a gun for self-defense. But since the district is a federal enclave, the Court refrained from ruling on ordinances outside the city. Now the Supreme Court will hear a challenge to Chicago's ban on handguns, in what is likely to be a landmark ruling on how the 2nd Amendment applies to state and local laws. What are the protections or limits to the right to bear arms?
