Prohibits firearms in certain locations, including but not limited to all forms of public transportation, large gatherings, and food and drink establishments.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Section 265.01 of the penal code is amended
JUSTIFICATION:
New York State's firearm licensing rules require people who want to
transport their gun outside of their home must show "proper cause" for
the need to carry a weapon their weapon concealed in public. The recent
Supreme Court challenge New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v.
Bruen argued that the long-standing requirement to show "proper cause"
violates the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. Given the density
of much of New York's populated areas, the possibility for harm is great
should the current rules be declared unconstitutional. This legislation
would specifically prohibit firearms from a wide list of specific
locations, including, for example, all forms of public transportation,
large gatherings and bars and restaurants.
