"In the 50-page decision, the three-judge panel ruled that the challenged provisions of New York's Concealed Carry Improvement Act are consistent with the nation's "historical tradition of gun regulations and, thus, does not violate the Second Amendment" right to bear arms. The panel also concluded that the plaintiffs, several New York gun owners, are "unlikely to succeed" on the merits of their legal arguments."
""There is perhaps no public place more quintessentially crowded than Times Square," the judges wrote. "In short, Times Square is our modern-day, electrified, supersized equivalent of fairs, markets, and town squares of old. We therefore need not stretch the analogy far,' to conclude that [the law] is entirely consistent with our historical tradition of regulating firearms in quintessentially crowded places.""
"(The Center Square) - A federal appeals court has upheld a New York law banning firearms in "sensitive" locations including Times Square, the New York City subway system and commuter trains. The ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday sided a lower court judge's 2023 decision that allowed the law to remain in effect, after rejecting a legal challenge from gun owners who argued the restrictions violate their Second Amendment rights."
A federal appeals court upheld a New York law that bans firearms in designated 'sensitive' locations such as Times Square, the New York City subway system, and commuter trains. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court decision and found plaintiffs unlikely to succeed on the merits of their Second Amendment challenge. The court ruled the challenged provisions of the Concealed Carry Improvement Act align with the nation's historical tradition of gun regulations. The opinion described Times Square as analogous to historic crowded public forums like fairs and marketplaces. The law tightened licensing and sales rules and defined many private properties as restricted areas.
