FPC looking for plantiffs
The Firearms Policy Coalition is looking for potential plaintiffs in New York for future legal action.
Here’s what they’re interested in:
- Live in either New York City or within the counties of Duchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, or Westchester
- Are at least 21 years old
- Possess a valid license to carry a handgun issued by their city or county of residence
- Regularly visit New York City and regularly visits or travels through the Times Square area
- Would carry a handgun in Times Square if not for the law prohibiting it
- Would be willing to sue New York City and participate in a federal lawsuit as a named plaintiff
I believe they are anticipating a win in the Wolford v. Lopez currently before SCOTUS.
2A challenge to NYPD licensing delays
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.
