The Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued a stay that keeps a New York gun law in place while challenges make their way through the courts.
After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state’s handgun licensing as unconstitutional in June, Governor Hochul instructed the legislature to enact a new concealed-carry regulation that made it a felony to possess a firearm in “sensitive areas.” In the legal challenges that ensued, a U.S. district court judge found that the restrictions were “inconsistent with the nation’s historic traditions.”
Now a three-judge panel of the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals, including Judge Robert Sack, has ruled to stay the district court’s order pending the outcome of an appeal.
