In light of the latest U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found New York state’s “proper cause” requirement for a concealed weapons permit to be unconstitutional, pro-Second Amendment groups are seeking to block a similar permit regulation in New York City, which they say “is just as bad if not worse.”
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), along with the Firearms Policy Coalition and five private citizens, on June 29 filed a motion in a federal trial court in New York City. They asked the court to stop the city from enforcing its own “proper cause” rule, which was established in the early 20th century, following the same logic of the newly invalidated state law.
