Although US District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby recently denied a request in New York to stop the passage of the new concealed-carry law, his decision could become a blueprint for challenging it, reports Bloomberg News. His reasons why the law could be found unconstitutional include such things as the new law omitted the phrase “other than in self-defense,” which could create a Second Amendment problem; The state’s list of “sensitive places” is extensive; and automatically declaring private property a restricted location usurps private property rights.
Attorneys involved in other cases are sure to notice Suddaby’s contention that the plaintiffs would have had a “strong likelihood of success” on several of their claims, and the state Republican Party said it plans to take the judge’s decision into consideration as it prepares a suit to be filed jointly with the Conservative Party.
