Supreme Court overturns New York law on carrying concealed weapons

June 25, 2022

​The Supreme Court has struck down New York’s century-old law restricting the carrying of concealed firearms, its first major Second Amendment decision in more than a decade and a ruling that could lead to more guns on the streets. The Supreme Court issued a ruling that will strike down New York’s law restricting the carrying of concealed firearms. The 1913 New York law states that people need to show “proper cause” in order to get a license to carry a gun in public. Mayor Eric Adams said he is concerned about the ruling amid the surge in gun violence in New York City. “The New York law at issue in this case obviously did not stop that perpetrator.”With Post wires
