Frequently Asked Questions

What was the outcome of the recent New York CCW permit case discussed?

A New York appellate court overturned a 2019 CCW permit denial by the NYPD. The court ruled that the previous 'proper cause' standard used by the NYPD was unconstitutional, referencing the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.

Why was the CCW permit initially denied in New York City?

The CCW permit was initially denied because the applicant did not meet the 'proper cause' requirement. The NYPD argued that needing to carry for business reasons during late evenings or off-hours was not sufficient justification.

How does the Bruen decision impact concealed carry permits in New York?

The Bruen decision declared New York's 'proper cause' standard for issuing concealed carry permits unconstitutional. This means permits should be granted more readily based on the constitutional right to bear arms, not subjective need.

What is the next step for the applicant whose CCW permit was overturned?

The case was sent back to the New York City Police Department to reconsider the application. The expectation is that the permit will be issued following this ruling.
