New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has ordered an extraordinary session of the state legislature to consider new gun control measures, following a Supreme Court decision that struck down the state’s concealed carry gun permitting system as unconstitutional.

The special session is due to begin in Albany on June 30, Hochul said in a proclamation (pdf), with the scope of deliberations to focus on “addressing necessary statutory changes regarding firearm safety.”
