Latest NY decision

He failed to note that his preliminary injunction is stayed for 3 days so defendants can appeal.

"his" meaning Judge Suddaby's injunction.

The TRO (after 3 days) is only in place until Oct. 20 or the day of oral arguments; assuming "state actors" appeal is neither filed nor successful.

This is basically a "nothing burger" until it is an actual Judicial Decision. ... Other than if J. Suddaby follows through on his assertion (page 22): "Simply stated, instead of moving toward becoming a shall-issue jurisdiction, New York State has further entrenched itself as a shall-not-issue jurisdiction."

And, unless, each of the "may stand" conclusions, (hopefully) only relate to the fact that this is a TRO.

The Judge is emphatically wrong regarding: i) references (name another "natural right" one needs "references to exercise); ii) "household members" (why is their privacy more important than potential references); iii) "training" is right out of teacher unions' dictate of pedagogy of standardized tests to "graduate"; iv) "follow-up" information - either the license application is complete or not; v) government places - either one can carry or need not be compelled to enter; vi) "places of worship", "place of worship" lacks specificity and the analogues are post 1868, failure to consider 1791 and fails to consider Article.IV., Section.2. (first sentence); vii) "Schools, Colleges, Universities" a whimpy punt, "public assemblies" lacks clear definition (other than ftnt 40.), ...

All of NYS' arms laws and regulations should be deemed unlawful. NYS government over the course of more than a century and a quarter has proven itself unwilling to / incapable of writing laws compliant with the US Constitution, including the Second Amendment absolute restriction on "infringement".

NYS governments continual failure to protect its citizens and visitors, as well as those in need of protection from themselves and incapable of providing for their own care and safety should result in a "permanent restraint" on all government actors (present and future) from attempting to legislate or enforce any laws, rules, regulations or provision/ guidelines whatsoever regarding the "public safety".

As well no NYS elected official, public employee, member of law enforcement, or contractor should enjoy or benefit from any form of "immunity" or indemnification should they violate the civil rights of any member of the "public".

Withstanding the above, it would appear that J. Suddaby is taking a methodical, measured approached to possibly strike down this "shall not issue" regime.

Regardless, this TRO does not deserve the "hype" it is receiving.

To Lagman,
I know you want everything right now but the history of fighting for civil rights proves that is unachievable. However this is a "good first step"

It's been what? 48 hours?

Wonder if an appeal has been filed.

John:

"the history of fighting for civil rights proves"
that it's a fight. No certainty of winning; other civilizations have lost, and those who won, didn't win it all at once nor quickly.

The 'good first step' is only that, a temporary win in a battle.

RE: not winning all at once:

I live in MI, just outside Ohio, so I follow their politics closely, especially in regards to guns and RKBA. MI passed our Shall-Issue CCW law in 2000, but it took a few more years for Ohio to follow. Of course, the Antis predicted Blood in the Streets.

The CCW law in Ohio was far from perfect, and many folks on our side complained bitterly. One example was that if you carried in your car, you had to have the gun visible to an officer approaching during a traffic stop. I installed snaps on my pocket holster so I could attach a strap so as to hang the thing around my neck, with the holster in the middle of my chest.

Over the years, the activists in Ohio managed to liberalize the law, culminating in passing Constitutional Carry last year. That was in spite of the Governor not being a big supporter of gun rights. Of course, it helps that Ohio has had a Republican legislature for all of these years.

Chin up, and keep fighting!
