The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a challenge to New York’s ban on concealed carry firearms in certain “sensitive locations.”
The decision comes on the heels of another favorable ruling for gun control advocates last month, Breitbart reported.
The ban was enacted following the landmark 2022 Bruen decision that broadened Second Amendment protections for New Yorkers.
The Concealed Carry Improvement Act outlaws guns in places like parks, entertainment establishments, churches, health care facilities, and others.
New York Attorney General Letitia James touted the ruling in a post to X.
“We will always stand up for commonsense gun safety laws that protect New Yorkers and keep our communities safe,” she wrote.

With the Bruen decision, there was a danger that people in the Empire State could exercise their Constitutional rights, which made politicians uncomfortable.
