Caniglia v. Strom decided

Caniglia v. Strom
Holding: Neither the holding nor logic of Cady v. Dombrowski justifies the removal of Edward Caniglia’s firearms from his home by police officers under a “community caretaking exception” to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement.

Judgment: Vacated and remanded, 9-0, in an opinion by Justice Thomas on May 17, 2021. Chief Justice Roberts filed a concurring opinion, in which Justice Breyer joined. Justices Alito and Kavanaugh also filed concurring opinions.


We don't often see pro-gun decisions from SCOTUS on a 9-0 vote.

But then, we don't often see appeals court decisions claiming that the 4th has a "unless its guns" provision.

Nice! Good to see. The ends do not justify the means...

Affirming the appeals court opinion would have opened up a can of worms with some really undesirable possibilities, not only for the 2nd Amendment.

Nice to actually see a unanimous decision for once.
