NY's governor has called the legislature into an emergency session for a workaround to the SC decision ordering the state to grant more concealed carry licenses. Her plan is to make people applying for a license jump through many more hoops, i.e., more training, a written test, interviews, etc, and restrict places guns can be carried, and in typical NY fashion, go completely overboard in the number of restricted areas. Also, little or no discussion before a vote and once again no time for the public to respond.
There are so many restricted areas that will overlap that a person would probably have no idea they may be in one. But beware, carrying in a restricted area would be a felony, punishable by up to 4 years in prison.
From a NY Times article:
"Legislators are considering, for example, adding new requirements for New Yorkers to receive a concealed carry permit, including 16 hours of training on how to handle a handgun, two hours of firing range training, an in-person interview and a written exam, according to internal legislative memos obtained by The New York Times.
Though Ms. Hochul said she had reached an agreement with her Democratic colleagues in the Legislature on the broad contours of the bill, lawmakers were still finalizing the details and the precise language on Thursday afternoon, with a vote expected later in the night.
Legislative leaders and the governor appeared to have reached an agreement on a list of locations where guns would be banned: health care facilities, including nursing homes and domestic violence shelters; houses of worship; colleges and universities; places where children gather, such as day care centers, playgrounds, parks and zoos; public transportation; places where alcohol or cannabis is consumed; and theaters, arenas, concerts, casinos and other entertainment venues.
Under the plan being considered, carrying a weapon in a prohibited area would amount to a felony punishable by up to four years in prison."
