Washington, D.C. \u2013 Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a\u00a0preliminary injunction in federal district court<\/a>\u00a0against most of New York\u2019s poorly named \u201cConcealed Carry Improvement Act.\u201d This follows GOA and GOF\u00a0securing a\u00a0temporary restraining order<\/a>\u00a0against the law in October, which was frustratingly blocked by a federal appeals court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The ruling from Judge Glenn Suddaby, who indicated this law has imposed \u201cunprecedented constitutional violations,\u201c enjoins the following provisions:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The injunction will take effect immediately, despite the State of New York\u2019s attempt to delay the injunction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Erich Pratt, GOA\u2019s Senior Vice President, issued the following statement:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cJust like we warned politicians after the Bruen decision, fall in line, or we will force you to. We are excited to see Kathy Hochul finally served a plate of humble pie, and we are fully prepared to continue the fight should she again attempt to disarm the citizens of her state at a time when her party’s policies are only escalating the danger that everyday citizens face.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sam Paredes, on behalf of the Board of Directors for the Gun Owners Foundation, added:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThis is very exciting for the citizens of New York, as today liberty won and tyranny lost. GOF and our allies remain fully prepared to defend this ruling from the foolish appeals that the anti-gunners in Albany will inevitably bring.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n GOA spokesmen are available for interviews.\u00a0 Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise.
