State v. Radowski (N.C.App. 2024):
When the application of a statute impedes conduct protected by the plain text
of the Second Amendment, it is presumptively unconstitutional. To overcome this
presumption, the State must demonstrate that its regulation is consistent with, or
analogous to, this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. The State failed
to demonstrate that regulating Defendant’s possession of firearms, which were kept
within a vehicle that was parked in the university hospital parking lot where
Defendant was seeking emergency medical care, is consistent with this Nation’s
historical tradition of firearm regulation. As an alternative ground for reversal, the
State failed to present substantial evidence that Defendant knowingly possessed a
firearm on educational property.
