Frequently Asked Questions

What was the outcome of the Hartway v. Nigrelli case regarding New York's concealed carry law?

A federal court granted a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) in Hartway v. Nigrelli, finding New York's ban on concealed carry in places of worship unconstitutional and violating the Second Amendment. The ruling applies to all residents in New York.

How did the Supreme Court's Bruen decision influence New York's concealed carry laws?

The Bruen decision shifted the burden of proof to the government to demonstrate that firearm restrictions are rooted in historical tradition. New York's Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA), enacted after Bruen, was found to be an unconstitutional attempt to restrict carry in places of worship.

What historical precedent is required to justify firearm restrictions according to the court?

The court stated that only historical firearm restrictions existing during the ratification of the Second Amendment in 1791 can serve as long-standing historical support for current regulations. Later enactments are generally not sufficient justification.

Who sued New York over its concealed carry law targeting places of worship?

Reverend Dr. Jimmy Hartway Jr. and Bishop Larry Boyd, along with the Firearm Policy Coalition and the Second Amendment Foundation, sued the State of New York over its concealed carry law that banned carrying in places of worship.
