The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen that New York’s concealed carry law violates the Fourteenth Amendment, by stopping “law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs” from practicing their Second Amendment right to bear arms.
The ruling will reverberate most in states that have similar laws that require applicants to show additional special need, which the opinion listed as California, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Jersey.

No this is not the case. You still need to get a permit but the requirements to get one won't be as difficult to get soon hopefully.
Not if you believe the trash coming out of NYC.
Eric Adams has announced will disregard the SCOTUS ruling. Democrats don't believe the law applies to them.

thankfully that's not how laws work and he is also in the wrong branch of government to even make these statements. NY Legislatures would have to appeal the SC decision.
Too bad, nothing would reduce crime faster than a ton of We the People carrying concealed.
