Concealed Carry in NYC

NYC is still not obeying the law, or so says a lawsuit. OSD 349: What’s going on with gun carry in NYC?

It has been three and a half years since the Supreme Court struck down may-issue carry permit regimes in NYSRPA v. Bruen. How are things going in New York City, which ran the final boss of may-issue regimes?

Things are so bad that they stopped reporting on the statistics around gun permits. They didn't do that because they were doing such a great job of cutting through the red tape.

And our final useful data comes from Milani et al v. New York City (PDF), a federal lawsuit from a group of New York gun owners arguing that NYC’s permitting process remains unconstitutionally burdensome.

You can read all of the ways that NYC and NYPD drag their feet to delay permitting.

They had to stop releasing the statistics on the length of time it takes to process permits. It would have fueled more lawsuits.
