New York lawmakers introduced legislation that would ban the concealed carry of guns in a 'sensitive location,' including Times Square and mass public transportation.
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Friday night she has signed legislation - just passed by lawmakers this evening - that was crafted in response to the recent Supreme Court ruling on concealed carry laws.
"I want to thank Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins, Speaker Heastie, and all of our partners in the Legislature for their willingness to take on this critical issue with urgency and precision. I will continue to do everything in my power to combat the gun violence epidemic.
Gov. Hochul announced lawmakers' intent to establish"sensitive places" legislation on Wednesday. The legislation was introduced in the state Senate during a special session called by Hochul that began Thursday. The new legislation makes changes to an existing law that establishes an ammunition database to verify ammunition sales in New York.
