This video features constitutional attorney Mark W. Smith discussing a significant Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruling concerning firearms in places of worship. The ruling, stemming from the Antonyuk and Spencer cases, addresses New York's post-Bruen attempts to define churches and synagogues as 'sensitive places' where guns are banned. Smith explains how the court found that banning guns in churches violated the First Amendment's Free Exercise clause, allowing religious institutions to set their own carry policies.
