Times Square is now a designated “sensitive” area. The ban on carrying a gun in that area takes effect on Thursday
As part of their response to the Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) ruling in NYSRPA v. Bruen, New York Democrats secured legislation making Times Square a gun-free zone, even barring concealed carry permit holders from carrying for self-defense.
On June 23 Breitbart News reported SCOTUS’s Bruen ruling, which struck down New York’s proper cause requirement for concealed carry.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and the state’s Democrat-run legislature responded by enacting numerous new gun controls, including a list of “sensitive” areas where the carrying of guns would be prohibited.
CNN noted that Times Square is now a designated “sensitive” area. The ban on carrying a gun in that area takes effect on Thursday.
“Gun-Free Zone” signs are supposed to be posted around Times Square on Wednesday, even as lawmakers continue to work on the precise boundaries of the gun-free area.
