The New York restriction is unconstitutional because it “prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defence needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms,” Thomas added.
Under the New York law’s “proper cause” requirement, applicants seeking an unrestricted concealed carry permits must convince a state firearms licensing officer of an actual, rather than speculative, need for self-defence. Officials could also grant licenses restricted to certain activities, such as hunting or target practice.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling striking down gun-carry limits is “frightening” and strips away the state’s right to protect its citizens. Hochul spoke while signing Alyssa’s Law, which would require school districts to consider installing panic alarm systems. The bill is named for a student who was shot and killed at a high school in February 2018.
