LINK U.S. Supreme Court conservatives take aim at New York gun limits | Reuters

New York state's limits on carrying concealed handguns in public in a major gun rights case that could imperil various firearms restrictions nationally.

While appearing united in their skepticism about the constitutionality of the state's law, some of the conservative justices expressed concern about how a ruling invalidating it might affect prohibitions on guns in sensitive places such as schools, sports stadiums and crowded public gatherings.

The NY law is exceptionally restrictive. However the part of the law that makes it most likely to be thrown out is the part saying (in effect) one can't carry in public unless the reason one wants to carry is in line with local law enforcement subjective agreement.

The law does not like subjective situations, because it can and frequently does lead to prejudice.

Hopefully they will side with the New York Rifle Association and knock down those unconstitutional restrictions prohibiting the carrying of loaded firearms by private persons with no criminal record for personal protection.
