Washington, D.C. – Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) spokesmen issued the following statements after the Second Circuit once again largely upheld New York’s poorly named “Concealed Carry Improvement Act” earlier today.
“This is an incredibly frustrating ruling. The Second Circuit got it wrong the first time, SCOTUS told them so and said try again, and this nearly identical ruling is a slap in the face to the Justices and every gun owner across New York,” said Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President. “We will continue the fight against Gov. Hochul and anti-gun legislators in Albany until New Yorkers can finally carry for self-defense without infringement.”
Sam Paredes, on behalf of the board for GOF, added:
“This ruling will continue to leave innocent New Yorkers, who simply want the ability to protect themselves and their loved ones, defenseless. Make no mistake, we will press on, even if it requires asking SCOTUS to once again weigh in.”
GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.
