Several parts of New York State’s concealed carry gun laws requiring more stringent background checks are now in effect, Governor Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday in Midtown Manhattan.
The governor called the state’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act the “leading gun law” in the nation. Hochul said the act was passed after the Supreme Court had “struck down my ability as the governor of the state of New York to protect our citizens from individuals with concealed carry guns.”
