A federal appeals court on Wednesday allowed New York to continue enforcing its new gun law as it considers a lower court ruling that would block key provisions
Suddaby on Thursday put a hold on several of the state’s new licensing rules for carrying handguns in public, including one that made applicants turn over information about their social media accounts.
The judge also chipped away at the list of “sensitive” locations where people cannot carry guns. He said the state couldn't ban people from carrying guns in New York City’s subway system or Times Square.Should guns be banned in all of Times Square? An NYC hearing could shed more light Tuesday on the ramifications of that Supreme Court ruling. Tracie Strahan explains.
"My office will continue our efforts to protect the safety of everyday New Yorkers and defend our common-sense gun laws,” she said in a prepared release. Gov. Kathy Hochul and lawmakers rewrote the state’s handgun laws this summer after a Supreme Court ruling invalidated New York’s old system for granting permits to carry handguns outside the home. The high court struck down the state’s longstanding requirement that people demonstrate an unusual threat to their safety to qualify for such a license.
