Press Release:
“No matter how Gov. Hochul and Attorney General James try to spin this decision, make no mistake, this is a victory for New York’s law-abiding gun owners and supporters of the Second Amendment.
“The 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals rightly affirmed that New Yorkers licensed to carry handguns can be armed on private property open to the public including businesses.
“New York’s misnamed Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA), which the Governor signed into law in 2022, is clearly an attack on the rights of law-abiding gun owners and an attempt to make it difficult or impossible for licensed, concealed-carry permit holders to carry firearms to defend themselves and their families.
“I look forward to remaining provisions of this unconstitutional law being struck down in the near future.”
