The temporary stay from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday puts on hold most of a ruling last month from U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby, who found constitutional issues with multiple portions of the law related to carrying firearms in public places and to licensing requirements.
New York adopted the new gun law this summer after a Supreme Court ruling invalidated the state’s system for granting permits to carry handguns outside the home. The law expanded who could get a handgun license, added new licensing requirements and created a long list of places where firearms would be banned.
Suddaby in November issued a preliminary injunction halting the state police and local officials named in the lawsuit from enforcing some provisions of the law. The appeals panel on Wednesday continued a stay put in place a week after Suddaby’s ruling while it considers a motion from government officials opposing the injunction.
The panel’s decision makes an exception for people who have the “duty to keep the peace at places of worship, airports, and private buses.” Among the new licensing rules Suddaby found constitutionally flawed was a provision requiring applicants to be of “good moral character,” and another that made applicants turn over information about their social media accounts.

I guess I can't keep one in My Pants! It's a shame they don't just ban murder instead... Those 'sensitive' areas are just too crowded. There's no guarantee that a person who legally can carry is well trained or even brave enough.
