B-Man Posted October 12 Posted October 12 CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: New York loses round in gun fight over open carry A federal district court has struck down part of a New York law that made it illegal to carry a firearm on private property without consent from the owner. The ruling issued by the U.S. District Court John Sinatra, Jr. effectively blocks the state from enforcing its concealed carry restrictions, saying it interferes "with the long-established Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens who seek to carry for self-defense on private property open to the public." The judge also rejected New York's request to grant a two-week stay in the ruling while the Attorney General's office filed an appeal, saying the state is unlikely to succeed in the legal challenge. Sinatra said while private citizens have a right to exclude guns from their property, the state can't "unilaterally" impose such restrictions without violating the Second Amendment. “Regulation in this area is permissible only if the government demonstrates that the new enactment is consistent with the Nation's historical tradition of sufficiently analogous regulations," Sinatra, a Trump-appointed judge, wrote in the 43-page ruling. "New York fails that test here." A law signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul in July 2022 sought to close "loopholes" in private gun sales by tightening firearm licensing and sales rules to make it harder to purchase a gun. It also defined private properties as “restricted” areas where carrying a gun is illegal. The changes were approved in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in the N.Y. State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen case, which struck down a New York law requiring applicants to show “proper cause” to get a permit to carry a firearm. But critics of the new requirements filed a lawsuit to block the changes, arguing that the update to the concealed carry law was an attempted end run around the Bruen decision. The Supreme Court declined to take up the challenge, but it continued to be litigated in New York federal courts. Gun rights groups praised Sinatra's ruling, saying it would allow New Yorkers to defend themselves when they are outside of their homes. https://highlandcountypress.com/news/new-york-loses-round-gun-fight-over-open-carry#gsc.tab=0 1

If I ever needed to use it (God forbid) I would gladly spend time in jail rather than the cemetery
