Federal court strikes down another provision of NY's carry law
Posted: November 23rd, 2022, 4:33 pm
NY is their own worst enemy here, having gone too radical and over-reaching in trying to make everywhere off limits to being armed. The federal court granted an injunction against enforcing the carry restrictions.

The state might have been able to reinforce an important right of private business owners to exclude guns with a reasonable drafting of the law. Instead, it sought to use the issue to effectively ban guns from “sensitive” and privately owned areas.
Gov. Kathy Hochul again made the case against her own state in ill-considered comments where she proclaimed that S51001 “makes ‘no carry’ the default for private property” by “establish[ing] that private property owners must expressly allow a person to possess a firearm, rifle, or shotgun on their property[.]” That default is the problem.
