U.S. District Judge finds part of New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act unconstitutional

A U.S. District Judge has determined a portion of New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act to be unconstitutional.

According to numerous sources, Judge John L. Sinatra Jr. has struck down a bundle of laws that prohibited people from carrying concealed firearms on private property, without the owner’s consent.

Examples include establishments that are open to the public, like stores and etc.

Earlier this week, the Governor’s Office responded to this ruling with a statement, clarifying that this move will not “discourage her efforts to keep New Yorkers safe.”

The act has been a topic of controversy since its creation in the wake of a grocery store shooting in the spring of 2022, including several court battles over aspects that are viewed as unconstitutional by Second Amendment advocates.

The Attorney General’s Office is currently reviewing Judge Sinatra’s decision.
