State lawmakers will be back in Albany Thursday for a special session that Governor Kathy Hochul called to address the Supreme Court striking down New York’s 109-year-old concealed carry gun permit law last week.
The conservative-majority court ruled 6-3 on June 23 that New York’s gun permit law infringed upon a person’s self-defense rights. The court did previously indicate, however, that restrictions in carrying guns in “sensitive places” such as schools or government buildings is appropriate.
