Frequently Asked Questions

What is New York State attempting to do regarding the Gun Owners of America's lawsuit?

New York State is attempting to moot Gun Owners of America's lawsuit challenging the Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA). They are proposing amendments to the law that they believe will resolve some of the plaintiffs' claims, thereby rendering the case moot.

Who is Pastor Mann and what is his specific legal challenge in the GOA lawsuit?

Pastor Mann is a plaintiff in the GOA lawsuit whose church is currently considered a gun-free zone under the CCIA. He challenges the law because it prevents him from carrying a firearm in his church, which is also his residence, and he argues that proposed amendments still infringe on his rights due to signage requirements.

How does New York's proposed amendment aim to address Pastor Mann's concerns?

The proposed amendment would allow places of worship to designate individuals responsible for security to carry firearms. New York hopes this will moot Pastor Mann's claim, as he could potentially be designated to carry at his church.

Why does the attorney argue that New York's amendments do not fully moot the case?

The attorney argues that the amendments do not moot all claims. Other provisions of the CCIA may still ban firearms in churches, and the requirement for specific signage could still violate First Amendment compelled speech rights, even if someone is designated to carry.
