Federal Appeals Court Upholds New York's Ban on Guns in Parks and Other 'Sensitive' Sites

A federal appeals court has upheld significant portions of New York's expansive gun law, affirming the state's right to ban the carrying of guns in schools, parks, and other sensitive locations, as well as deny firearms to individuals deemed dangerous by local officials. The ruling is seen as a major victory for New York and one of the most significant rulings on gun regulations since the Supreme Court struck down the state's previous gun law last year.
