New York governor Kathy Hochul is looking for creative ways preserve restrictions against carrying a handgun in public after the US Supreme Court struck down key portions of the state’s gun-licensing and concealed carry laws.
State and New York City officials are zeroing in on specifying ‘sensitive locations’ where concealed weapons could be forbidden, including a concept that would essentially extend those zones to the entire metropolis.
Other options under consideration include adding new conditions to get a handgun permit, such as requiring weapons training.
Hochul, a Democrat, vowed to call the Democrat-led legislature back for a special session to pass new rules.
‘We have a whole lot of ideas,’ she said, adding that she discussed policy options Thursday with the mayors of the state’s six largest cities.
New York City mayor Eric Adams supported expressed support for Hocul’s efforts, saying ‘We cannot allow New York to become the Wild West.’
