to bear arms outside the home to remain in effect while a legal challenge against it continues.

There were no public dissenting votes, but conservative Justice Samuel Alito said in a statement attached to the brief order, which fellow conservative Justice Clarence Thomas joined, that the decision is not "expressing any view on the merits of the case" and the challengers "should not be deterred."

"We believe that these thoughtful, sensible regulations will help to prevent gun violence," she said. U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby in a Nov. 7 ruling struck down a number of provisions of the law, including one that bars firearms in a wide range of “sensitive locations” such as healthcare facilities, churches, parks, entertainment venues and other places where people gather. He also blocked a provision that requires gun owners to show “good moral character” in order to obtain a license, and another that Suddaby said was a sweeping ban on firearms on private property open the public.
