Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA) in New York?

New York's Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA) is a law passed after the Bruen decision that attempts to regulate concealed carry. It replaces the 'proper cause' requirement with a 'good moral character' standard and expands 'sensitive places' where carry is prohibited.

How does New York's CCIA challenge the Supreme Court's Bruen decision?

The CCIA is seen as challenging the Bruen decision by replacing the unconstitutional 'proper cause' requirement with a new subjective standard ('good moral character') and by broadly designating many locations as 'sensitive places,' which critics argue still allows for discretionary denial of permits.

Gun Owners of America (GOA) has filed a lawsuit against New York, challenging the CCIA. They are seeking a preliminary injunction to halt the law's enforcement before its September 1st effective date, arguing it violates the Second Amendment.

What are the main concerns with the 'good moral character' standard in NY's CCIA?

The 'good moral character' standard in New York's CCIA is criticized for being subjective and easily misused by licensing agencies to deny permits, similar to the 'proper cause' requirement that the Supreme Court found unconstitutional in the Bruen decision.
