It’s Gonna Be A Great Week!  by Tom Reynolds

Yesterday and Today could turn out to be a bad day for Kathy Hochul and the gun grabbers in NY State.

Today

Please call or text or email a friend and remind them to get out to vote. If we get out every single like-minded New Yorker who is ready to get America and our state back on track, we win.

If we lose, we condemn ourselves to a future of darkness.

Yesterday

Judge Suddaby issued decision  regarding the ‘Antonyuk v Hochul’ (formerly Antonyuk v Bruen) case about the Concealed Carry Improvement Act (“CCIA”).  NY State under Attorney General Letitia James were appealing an earlier decision that went against them.  They lost again.

• the provision requiring the disclosure of “names and contact information for the applicant’s current spouse, or domestic partner, any other adults residing in the applicant’s home, including any adult children of the applicant, and whether or not there are minors residing, full time or part time, in the applicant’s home” in order to complete the license application; 
  
  
• the provision requiring a “list of former and current social media accounts of the applicant from the past three years” to complete the license application; 
  
  
• the provision requiring “such other information required by review of the licensing application that is reasonably necessary and related to the review of the licensing application”;
  
  
• the prohibition of carrying a concealed firearm in the following “sensitive locations”:
