New York concealed carry ban ruled unconstitutional

A district judge recently ruled that a New York law banning licensed gun owners from carrying concealed weapons on private property accessible to the public without the express consent of the property owner was unconstitutional.

Newsmax reported that U.S. District Judge John Sinatra Jr. ruled against New York’s law on Thursday, dealing a major blow to the gun control policies pushed by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) and the Democrat-led New York State Assembly.

According to Newsmax, the gun control legislation was pushed by the governor following the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling that struck down the state’s requirement for New York residents to prove they were in need of self-defense in order to obtain a concealed carry permit. However, Sinatra determined that the state’s ban on licensed gun owners carrying concealed weapons on private property with public access without the property owner’s express consent was unconstitutional.
