Frequently Asked Questions

What is Colion Noir's main argument regarding Governor Hochul's statement on constitutional rights?

Colion Noir argues that Governor Hochul's claim that the Supreme Court ruling stripped her rights as governor is a misinterpretation of the Bill of Rights. He emphasizes that the Bill of Rights exists to limit government power over individual rights, not the other way around.

How does Colion Noir critique New York's 'reasonable' gun laws?

Noir disputes the reasonableness of New York's former concealed carry process, stating it effectively barred law-abiding citizens while criminals could still carry. He suggests politicians prioritize power over public safety, creating burdensome laws.

What are the new restrictive licensing requirements for concealed carry in New York?

New York's updated licensing includes expanded background checks, social media reviews, and in-person interviews. Colion Noir describes this as an intentionally expensive and time-consuming process designed to discourage permit seekers.

How do 'sensitive locations' affect concealed carry rights in New York City?

New York has designated numerous 'sensitive locations' where carry is banned, including public transit. Since 54% of NYC households rely on public transit, these bans effectively nullify the right to carry for a significant portion of the population.
