Jewish Group to Sue New York for Banning Guns in Houses of Worship

The New York State Jewish Gun Club plans to sue New York for banning firearms in places of worship, calling it “unconstitutional” in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Tzvi Waldman, the founder of the New York State Jewish Gun Club, is working with a civil rights attorney to challenge a provision of New York’s new Concealed Carry Improvement Act, prohibiting congregants from carrying guns inside places of worship among other locations it deems “sensitive.”

He told the Daily Caller News Foundation he is “very confident” the law will “definitely” be overturned, calling it “unconstitutional on so many levels.”

“The Second Amendment is not a second-class right,” he told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Whether to ban, to allow, or to require guns in church should be a decision of the church. Not the state.

Didn't something like that happen here over signage and the church prevailed.

The issue here was signage.

Churches could, but were not required to, ban guns. The statute provided specific signage requirements.

The finding of the lawsuit was that churches could ban carry in any way they liked, they did not have to post compliant signs.
