Kars4Kids CEO suing over gun law that targets Jewish NYers ‘where children are’
Religious Jews in New York have become sitting ducks for antisemitic attacks due to the concealed carry gun law passed last year, the CEO of the nonprofit Kars4Kids claims in a new lawsuit.
Eliyohu Mintz is taking aim at the Concealed Carry Improvement Act, which prevents most New Yorkers from bringing weapons into places of religious observation or summer camps — and which he is seeking to be deemed unconstitutional, according to the June 30 Albany Federal Court filing against the state.
Whether firearms are allowed, forbidden, or required in a church should be decided by that church, no one else.
