Judge denies state extension in GOA case vs new NY CCW Law

Post by Bruenor »

GOA Suit against NY for their new Concealed Carry restrictions. Judge cites the work the state did in NYSRPA vs Bruen as one reason for the denial.

Ammoland
Mr. Antonyuk held an unrestricted carry permit when the legislature passed the CCIA. Instead of the SCOTUS decision making it easier for Antonyuk to carry a firearm in the State, the CCIA restricted the New York resident’s gun rights more than before the landmark ruling. Gun Owners of America and Gun Owners Foundation (GOA’s non-profit arm) stepped up to help Mr. Antonyuk challenge the new law. GOA filed a lawsuit against the Empire State and then filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. New York responded by asking for a two-week extension to reply to the motion because of “[t]he extensive nature of the briefing that must take place to address all of the issues that Plaintiffs raise in this lawsuit.” The State also cites “[t]he complexity of the constitutional issues involved.”

GOA objected to the two-week extension citing that the law that will affect millions in the State is due to go into effect on September 1, 2022. The State asked Judge Glenn T. Suddaby to consider the expiration date of Mr. Antonyuk’s permit instead of the effective date of the CCIA being implemented. Judge Suddaby rejected the New York State’s request in what can only be seen as a shot across the bow of the State’s attorneys. He cites that if the extension were granted, the Court would be forced to shorten the time GOA has to reply if the judge was to issue a ruling on the motion for preliminary injunction before the law goes into effect, which appears as to what the judge is planning on doing. The judge also points out that New York State “[h]as has already gotten a head start in amassing the necessary historical sources in N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Assoc., Inc. v. Bruen.”
