The Supreme Court unanimously refused to block an effort to put statewide concealed carry restrictions on hold.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a New York gun law that places restrictions on carrying a concealed firearm to remain in effect while legal challenges play out.
"I understand the court's denial today to reflect respect for the Second Circuit's procedures in managing its own docket, rather than expressing any view in the merits of the case," Alito wrote. He urged the lower court to continue to "expedite" the appeal. Last fall, a district court blocked key provisions of the new law, related to requirements that an applicant demonstrate "good moral character," provide a list of all former and current social media accounts from the past three years and "sensitive place" restrictions that include health care settings, churches and parks.
