The Firearms Policy Coalition is looking for potential plaintiffs in New York for future legal action.
Here’s what they’re interested in:
I believe they are anticipating a win in the Wolford v. Lopez currently before SCOTUS.
Attorney Susan Chana Lask filed a federal civil rights action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York challenging prolonged administrative delays by New York City’s firearms licensing authorities that plaintiffs allege unlawfully burden rights protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief based on allegations that the City routinely fails to grant or deny handgun license applications even within the six-month timeframe set out in New York Penal Law § 400.00, resulting in extended waits that plaintiffs allege delay the exercise of Second Amendment rights.
Here is a press release in support of the legal action by Councilwoman Vickie Paladino.

Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg has filed an amicus brief in support of the defendant in Wolford v. Lopez. The Hawaiian law in question is similar to New York’s law prohibiting carrying firearms onto private property unless the property owner has previously consented.
I think SCOTUS is going to shoot down the law which will open up our law to a new legal challenge. We should get a decision by June.
