Gun groups set sights on New York's 'sensitive locations' law after Supreme Court ruling

Second Amendment advocacy groups are taking aim at New York’s novel “sensitive locations” law barring people from carrying firearms in dozens of public places around the state, arguing it falls flat in the face of the Supreme Court‘s latest ruling over concealed carry permits in the state.

A lawsuit was filed Tuesday by the Second Amendment Foundation and the Firearms Policy Coalition, arguing the state’s law that took effect this month is “a de facto ban” on the right to carry firearms and violates the justices’ 6-3 ruling in June that struck down the state’s previous concealed carry law.
