Frequently Asked Questions

What new requirements are part of New York's updated firearm permitting process?

New York's updated firearm permitting process now requires applicants to disclose their social media accounts for government investigation. Additionally, applicants must qualify based on government-defined criteria, moving away from the previous 'proper cause' requirement but introducing a 'good moral character' component.

Which locations are now considered 'sensitive places' where carrying a firearm is illegal in New York?

New York has vastly expanded its list of 'sensitive places' to include government buildings, medical facilities, places of worship, libraries, playgrounds, parks, zoos, schools, colleges, summer camps, addiction support centers, homeless shelters, nursing homes, public transit (including subways), and establishments serving alcohol or marijuana.

What are the legal implications of carrying a firearm in a 'sensitive place' in New York under the new law?

Under the new New York law, carrying a firearm, concealed or otherwise, in any of the designated 'sensitive places' is now a felony offense. This significantly restricts where individuals can legally carry firearms.

How does the new New York gun law relate to the Supreme Court's Bruen decision?

Critics argue that the new New York gun law, particularly its broad designation of 'sensitive places' and social media disclosure requirements, directly challenges the Supreme Court's Bruen decision. The Bruen ruling emphasized that firearm restrictions must align with the nation's historical tradition, which opponents claim these new measures do not.
