A federal appeals court has upheld significant portions of New York gun control laws, including restrictions on carrying firearms in areas the state has deemed “sensitive,” such as schools, hospitals, and public transportation.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit on Thursday reaffirmed provisions of the Concealed Carry Improvement Act, which New York passed in 2022 after the Supreme Court’s ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. The precedent in the landmark Bruen case led pro-Second Amendment groups to challenge more of the Empire State’s gun control restrictions, such as prohibitions on carrying guns in high-population hubs such as Times Square and Central Park.
