\"'Confusion'
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul. (Photo: NY Gov. Hochul<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, Sept. 1, New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul\u2019s new gun restrictions take effect and there\u2019s one common feeling across the state: confusion<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor decried the decision when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Empire State\u2019s subjective restrictive \u201cmay issue\u201d concealed carry requirements. She was \u201cshocked<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> and responded by pushing even more restrictions through the legislature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law-abiding gun owners have cried foul ever since, noting the gun control laws don\u2019t hold criminals accountable<\/a><\/strong> and law enforcement and county officials charged with implementing and overseeing the rules have voiced concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First and Flawed<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In Gov. Hochul\u2019s rushed attempt to be first after the Supreme Court ruled against New York in its  Bruen<\/em> decision, her antigun bias has wreaked havoc in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Upstate counties that comprise the vast majority of New York\u2019s geography, confusion reigns. Fulton County Sherriff Richard Giardino held an information session<\/strong><\/a> for law-abiding gun owners. It was jampacked with New Yorkers worried that Gov. Hochul\u2019s gun control will ensnare them and turn them into criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re placed in an untenable position of enforcing laws that we might believe are unconstitutional, and as a former judge and DA, I still have my law license, I believe many provisions of this are unconstitutional and will be knocked down in the courts,\u201d said Giardino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Greene County, Lisa and Richard MacLeod \u2013 owners of Recon Defense \u2013 have been swamped with calls, walk-ins and social media posts from concerned New Yorkers. \u201cWe are up to 13,00 hits on this already. Our phone has not stopped ringing. As far as what does this mean? Everyone is so confused no one knows what to do,\u201d Lisa told<\/a><\/strong> local media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Republican Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh told<\/a><\/strong> the New York Post, \u201cA lot of times New York is trying to be first \u2014 the first to poke back at the US Supreme Court because they didn\u2019t like the concealed carry ruling \u2026 So [Democrats] tried to be first and then they\u2019re not best. It was sloppy drafting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assemblywoman\u2019s comments followed a scramble by the governor\u2019s administration to reassure New Yorkers that prohibitions on recreational shooting sports weren\u2019t included in the bill despite Assembly Codes Committee Chair Jeffrey Dinowitz (D-Bronx) telling<\/a><\/strong> Walsh the exact opposite during bill debate. \u201cI guess that\u2019s covered by this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fighting Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One lawmaker in Albany is leading her colleagues in their fight back and attempting to shield lawful recreational and shooting sports activities from the flawed law. Republican N.Y. state Sen. Pam Helming introduced legislation to protect the shooting sports and to clarify the law with language to deem competitive shooting sports events, often held at sportsmen\u2019s clubs, exempted from the state\u2019s list of \u201csensitive places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe language in our laws matters \u2013 and the language in the law that takes effect on September 1 unfairly puts these programs at risk,\u201d Sen. Helming said<\/a>.<\/strong> \u201cParticipation in these sports is growing, especially in our rural areas. Shooting sports programs and competitions are conducted safely and responsibly, with applicable training and education and they should be allowed to operate as they always have\u2014safely and successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawmakers aren\u2019t expected back in Albany until the 2023 legislative session begins in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 <\/strong>Gov. Hochul\u2019s new gun control law is a kitchen sink of constitutionally-questionable restrictions<\/a><\/strong> and don\u2019t do anything to stop criminals in her state from illegally obtaining and misusing firearms. The law expanded the \u201csensitive locations<\/strong><\/a>\u201d where law-abiding concealed carriers cannot carry firearms, which include federal, state and local government buildings, health and medical facilities, daycares, parks, zoos and playgrounds, public transportation including subways and buses, polling sites, schools and even publicly-utilized state forest preserves, including the 6 million acres of the Adirondack Park<\/a><\/strong>. The law also allows the state to examine social media posts<\/strong><\/a> between neighbors to determine if an individual qualifies for a state-issued concealed carry permit. Court challenges are lining up fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane Havens, manager of Calamity Jane\u2019s Firearms in Hudson Falls, N.Y., organized a recent townhall<\/a><\/strong> of her own to cover the new laws and it was attended by a few hundred people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her message to law-abiding gun owners and those trying to become them was short and simple. No matter how frustrating the process is: \u201cDon\u2019t give up this fight. We will help you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firearm retailers are in a bind too. New York passed an extensive security and record keeping law that will also go into effect Sept. 1. NSSF met with the governor\u2019s office and N.Y. State Police to obtain guidance for implementation guidance but the only thing that was clear was the state\u2019s not ready. NSSF was told to advise member retailers that state police won\u2019t conduct inspections without proper guidance in place first and officials from the governor\u2019s office didn\u2019t want New York firearm retailers to spending their resources to comply until regulations are published. State police informed NSSF that a Frequently Asked Questions page will be created to assist retailers soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The confusion wrought by Gov. Hochul has been purposeful and targeted at law-abiding gun owners and the lawful firearm industry. New York gun owners new and old are sticking together in this fight and not giving up. The firearm industry isn\u2019t backing down either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
