Second Circuit Stays Order Blocking New York’s Latest Gun-Carry Law

An emergency restraining order blocking most of New York’s restrictive gun-carry law will not take effect. At least not yet. Second Circuit Judge Eunice Lee, a Biden appointee, granted New York’s request for an interim stay of the temporary restraining order on Wednesday. 

The stay will keep New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA) in effect until a three-judge panel for the Second Circuit decides whether to uphold or overturn the order.
 

The stay deals a setback to gun rights advocates in New York. After securing a victory in court against New York’s law earlier this month, licensed gun owners will be forced to continue abiding by a law that a federal judge has already found to be likely unconstitutional.
