New York gun law that restricted concealed carry rights blocked by federal judge

A federal judge on Monday blocked parts of New York’s controversial gun law that restricts concealed carry rights in certain areas of the state while a Second Amendment advocacy group challenges the law on constitutional grounds.
 

District Court Judge Glenn Suddaby said the law invoked "unprecedented constitutional violations" and granted a partial preliminary injunction in favor of Gun Owners of America (GOA), forcing the state to immediately cease enforcement of parts of the law, which was signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul in July.

"We are excited to see Kathy Hochul finally served a plate of humble pie, and we are fully prepared to continue the fight should she again attempt to disarm the citizens of her state at a time when her party’s policies are only escalating the danger that everyday citizens face," said Erich Pratt, GOA senior vice president.
