ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York will ban people from carrying firearms into many places of business unless the owners put up a sign saying guns are welcome, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday, describing a deal with state legislative leaders that is being finalized.
The legislation — hurriedly written after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state’s handgun licensing law — will include provisions that make it harder to apply for a permit to carry a gun outside the home and create more rules around firearm storage in homes and vehicles.
Businesses who want guns would have to put up a sign reading: “Concealed weapons welcome here,” or words to that effect, Hochul said. “Otherwise the presumption will be in the state of New York that they are not.”
Gun rights groups bristled at the idea that firearms could be banned from many places by default.
“She’s telling business owners how they need to conduct their business if they want to stay open. These are unconstitutional mandates, and I think it’ll be struck down by the courts,” said Aaron Dorr, the executive director of NY State Firearms Association.
“We are going to be facing a wave of concealed weapons in our parks, our subways, gathering places,” Hochul said.
Hochul didn’t release the text of the legislation Wednesday. She said she’s working with lawmakers to hammer out specifics, including on her proposal to bar people with a history of dangerous behavior from getting permits.

We’ll see about that.
Bad spell check. Struck not struct.
They are #victim Zones no better way to describe it. We can see the left loves to victimize children especially.
You know what that would mean, those business will have much higher insurance cost and the Cops will be less likely to protect and serve (all by design)
Again a 2A infringement. Do these idiots not realize the court just ruled you can carry, no it’s and’s or but’s?
How is this so hard to understand?
The leftist definition of Paradise:
That which is not allowed is forbidden.
Sigh...I figured, and even after Clarence Thomas SPECICALLY said in the ruling that states could NOT just get around the ruling with blanket bans and could only ban firearms in places where they were historically banned (Courthouses, Polling Places etc). Same as the abortion ruling, I guessing liberal judges will pretty much stick their fingers in their ears and ignore the Supreme Court and it will take multiple trips back up to the Supreme Court and years before the rulings start having any real impact.
Cops? Do you mean those guys who eat donuts and are always last to arrive at a crime scene?
Holsters should be required.
Vile, evil, tyrannical, wicked witch, leftist, ignorant, awful human being.
They are on a roll simply because the Aamerican people and the politicians they vote for are too cowardly and servile to act in any way to resurrect the former Constitution...
Americans in both parties have replaced (or interpreted) the "pledge of allegiance" as:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Unlike the Republicant Surrender Monkeys.
Not question at all.
Exactly.
Leftist Paradise: “Everything not forbidden is mandatory.”
People should just ignore these rules and if the NY Karens don’t like it, shoot them.
“So you can’t be on the subway, in the park,”
Where did you see that?
Zeldin for Governor...
Yes, but how long will that take? These people are masters at the game. They are likely already plotting their next end around the ruling that will nullify this after it is passed.
These people are like vampires living in a world without wooden stakes. They just won't stay "dead".
