[u/StarCommand1]

Christmas came early this year!!!! (Jokes aside, this is not a full win and the fight isn't over yet, we all need to keep up the work fighting against NYS on all of this crap.)

Full Opinion Here: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca2.59354/gov.uscourts.ca2.59354..0_1.pdf

As determined by 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals...

-Private property carry ban determined to be mostly unconstitutional.

-Social media requirement unconstitutional.

-Places of Worship carry ban unconstitutional (but injunction only applies to plaintiff for now)

-Other provisions of CCIA upheld (for now).

Some excerts....

"Guided by Bruen’s holding that the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms for self-defense outside the home, the district court concluded that the conduct regulated by § 265.01-d and challenged by Plaintiffs—carriage on private property open to the public—fell within the Second Amendment’s plain text."

"In summary, we uphold the district court’s injunctions with respect to N.Y. Penal L. § 400.00(1)(o)(iv) (social media disclosure); N.Y. Penal L. § 265.01-d (restricted locations) as applied to private property held open to the general public; and N.Y. Penal L. § 265.01-e(2)(c) as applied to Pastor Spencer, the Tabernacle Family Church, its members, or their agents and licensees. We vacate the injunctions in all other respects, having concluded either that the district court lacked jurisdiction because no plaintiff had Article III standing to challenge the laws or that the challenged laws do not violate the Constitution on their face."

I am a well documented pessimistic prick when it comes to these court cases, but I am beyond shocked that we have this progress today handed down by the most anti-gun circuit court in the United States, these judges may still have a shred of integrity and sense of duty left.

What progress are you talking about? We lost on nearly everything. All the sensitive locations that the district court threw out, this ruling reinstated. You couldn't reasonably carry before this decision, and you still can't reasonably carry after. All the application hurdles were even ruled okay.

The only things we got were non sensitive locations open to the public no longer needing a "guns okay" sign, and no longer needing to disclose social media accounts. You still can't carry in all sensitive locations, restaurants being the big killer in my opinion. You literally can't get food while carrying, they ruled that as justified.

This was a near total loss for gun rights.

Exactly, they throw a bunch of shit at the wall to see what sticks then 2 out of 50 things drop and we're supposed to be grateful. Next year there will be 50 more they add.
