NY Dems to pass new gun laws in response to Supreme Court ruling
One week after the Supreme Court struck down a law limiting the spread of concealed handguns in New York, state Democratic leaders on Thursday were expected to respond with new measures that would prohibit people from carrying firearms in many public settings deemed “sensitive places.”
The ban would apply to places like colleges, hospitals, subways, parks and stadiums. It would also extend to any private property, such as a bar, restaurant or home, unless the property owner expressly allows guns, which they can do by placing a sign on their premises…
Legislators are considering, for example, adding new requirements for New Yorkers to receive a concealed carry permit, including 16 hours of training on how to handle a handgun, two hours of firing range training, an in-person interview and a written exam, according to internal legislative memos obtained by The New York Times.
