Legal fight over banning guns in 'sensitive places' could roll back the law Murphy just signed.
, finding that the tough restrictions on where and when a person can carry a firearm in public present “considerable constitutional problems.”
Spokespeople for Murphy and state Attorney General Matthew Platkin, whose office is representing the state in court, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. The lawsuit was the latest salvo in a legal fight spurred by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling — known as the Bruen decision — that effectively invalidated New York’s concealed carry law.
The legislation bans people from carrying firearms in a wide swath of “sensitive places” in the state. That includes schools, courthouses, child care centers, nursing homes, polling places, government buildings, hospitals, bars and restaurants where alcohol is served, airports, parks, beaches, demonstrations, movie theaters, casinos, and other entertainment centers.
Scutari did not immediately return a message seeking comment. But as the bill moved through the Legislature last month, the Senate president told his colleagues he was confident it would survive judicial scrutiny.
