STATEMENT FROM SENATOR SEAN RYAN ON SUPREME COURT’S CONCEALED CARRY RULING
BUFFALO – Today, June 23, 2022, New York State Senator Sean Ryan released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down New York’s proper cause restrictions on the concealed carry of firearms:
“I am deeply disappointed by today’s Supreme Court decision, which removes an important barrier to gun violence that had existed in our state for over a century. There is an abundance of evidence that the proliferation of firearms results in more violent crime, and putting more guns on New York’s streets will only make it easier for criminals to get their hands on them. Requiring a proper cause for concealed carry is an overwhelmingly popular policy. We will explore ways to adjust our laws within the scope of today’s decision in order to keep New Yorkers safe.”
