NY Sheriffs: New Permit Law Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

This video discusses the unconstitutionality of New York's new gun laws enacted post-Bruin. The Sheriffs Association and attorney Peter Kehoe argue that the laws circumvent constitutional procedures, impose burdensome and unworkable licensing requirements, and infringe upon Second Amendment rights by creating unattainable hurdles for citizens seeking to exercise their rights. The laws are criticized for their punitive nature towards law-abiding citizens rather than focusing on criminals.

Quick Summary

New York Sheriffs and attorney Peter Kehoe assert that the state's new gun permit law is unconstitutional. They cite procedural irregularities in its passage, the creation of numerous 'sensitive places' that restrict carry, and licensing requirements like mandatory in-person judge interviews that are practically unattainable, thus infringing on Second Amendment rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do New York Sheriffs believe the new gun permit law is unconstitutional?

New York Sheriffs, represented by attorney Peter Kehoe, argue the law was passed using a 'parliamentary ruse' to bypass constitutional review periods. They also cite burdensome licensing requirements, the designation of numerous 'sensitive places,' and the practical impossibility of timely permit interviews as infringements on Second Amendment rights.

What are the main criticisms of New York's new concealed carry permit law?

Key criticisms include the law's passage without adequate legislative and public review, the creation of 'sensitive places' that effectively ban concealed carry, and licensing requirements like in-person judge interviews that are deemed unattainable. The Sheriffs Association views these as punitive measures against law-abiding citizens.

How does New York's new gun law affect private businesses?

New York's new gun law defaults all private businesses to 'no firearms allowed' zones. This means that unless a business owner explicitly posts signage indicating that firearms are welcome on their premises, carrying a firearm within that establishment is prohibited under the new regulations.

What is the role of attorney Peter Kehoe in challenging New York's gun laws?

Peter Kehoe, executive director of the New York State Sheriffs Association, represents all 58 sheriff's departments. He has publicly stated that the new gun laws were passed unconstitutionally, infringe upon Second Amendment rights, and create unworkable burdens for both citizens and law enforcement agencies.
