\"\"<\/a>A new lawsuit has been filed in the United States Court for the Western District of New York<\/strong> that focuses on the state’s latest gun law<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the lawsuit, filed on September 13 by two Western New Yorkers, the state’s expansion of sensitive and restricted locations constitutes a “de facto ban on the carriage of loaded, operable handguns for self-defense.”<\/p>\n

A new state gun control bill went into effect on September 1 that expanded the number of sensitive and restricted locations where guns could be carried.<\/p>\n

Governor Kathy Hochul<\/strong> has stated previously that those sensitive locations include schools, colleges, daycares, restaurants that serve alcohol and more.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges that the law essentially creates a no concealed guns default in a variety of public and private spaces.<\/p>\n

It also claims that the new law designating sensitive locations goes “far beyond any constitutionally relevant historical justification. It goes on to say the new law makes a mockery of the recent Supreme Court decision.”<\/p>\n

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court<\/strong> had overturned a New York State law that placed strict restrictions on carrying concealed firearms<\/strong> in public for self defense, finding its requirement that applicants seeking a concealed carry license demonstrate a special need for self-defense is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

The state responded with new legislation that enhanced licensing requirements for concealed carry permit applicants, added new provisions for sensitive areas where the permit holder is prohibited from carrying a concealed firearm, enhanced safe storage requirements to apply if a minor under the age of 18 lives in the home, and made technical changes to the Body Armor Law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
