On Thursday, U.S. District Judge John L. Sinatra Jr. ruled that New York's 2022 law prohibiting licensed gun owners from carrying concealed firearms on private property open to the public is unconstitutional. The law required property owners to expressly allow concealed carry on their premises. The decision marks a significant setback for New York's efforts to regulate firearms following recent Supreme Court guidance on the Second Amendment.
