A federal judge in New York on Oct. 6 issued a temporary injunction against portions of the state’s new gun law to allow a pro-gun group to pursue a lawsuit to challenge the measure.
The law, which took effect on Sept. 1, created new requirements to obtain a firearms license, including submitting social media accounts for review and creating a list of private and public places prohibiting the carrying of a gun even for license holders. The measure was approved by New York’s legislature after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a 100-year-old concealed carry law over the summer.
