This decision is another victory in our effort to protect all New Yorkers from the scourge of gun violence, said New York Attorney General Letitia James. After repeated attempts to weaken our gun safety regulations, once again, we have prevailed. Common-sense gun safety legislation helps protect New Yorkers, and my office will always stand up to defend these laws.
The ruling allows most of the CCIA's rules to remain, including the requirement for concealed carry applicants to show good moral character and restrictions on carrying guns in sensitive places like schools and government buildings.
The Second Circuit disagreed with most of the Northern District of New York's ruling regarding the CCIA, but upheld specific restrictions like social media disclosure on permit applications.
This ruling also follows the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Rahimi, which upheld a law preventing individuals under domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns, influencing the Second Circuit's review of Antonyuk.
