Federal Appeals Court Delivers Blow to NY Gun Law, Allowing Guns in Sensitive Locations

Gun rights activists celebrate as a federal appeals court strikes down parts of New York's concealed carry law, blocking requirements for gun owners to disclose social media accounts, restrictions on carrying firearms on private property accessible to the public, and a restriction on concealed carry in houses of worship. However, other controversial parts of the law, such as demonstrating good moral character and bans on concealed carry in certain places, remain intact. Gun rights groups argue that the entire law should be invalidated, while New York's Attorney General believes the decision will help keep New Yorkers safe from gun violence.
