Based on the ruling, I don’t see how they would have the authority to ban guns in any business. This would be tantamount to defining all businesses a protected area.
There is also an enforcement problem. If someone carries concealed and is not intending to rob, how will the store owner know?
Gov Hochul on the radio > The State will assume ALL business’s are gun free zones, unless the store owner puts up signs declaring guns are allowed in his store.
That would ANTIFA create a list of business’s to strike and destroy.
Also, something about rules for guns in cars. I did not understand that car angle
The only place I think should ban guns is places of business who do more than 51% of their business selling alcohol. Works in Texas.
“Based on the ruling, I don’t see how they would have the authority to ban guns in any business.”
They cannot, but they will try.
More specifically, the majority and concurring opinions reaffirmed the historical right of government to ban firearms from certain “sensitive places” (i.e., schools and other government buildings), but rejected the State’s argument that the “proper cause” requirement for CCW is a “sensitive place” law and restriction. As Justice Thomas explains at pages 21-22 of his opinion:
“Although we have no occasion to comprehensively define “sensitive places” in this case, we do think respondents err in their attempt to characterize New York’s proper-cause requirement as a “sensitive-place” law. In their view, “sensitive places” where the government may lawfully disarm law-abiding citizens include all “places where people typically congregate and where law-enforcement and other public-safety professionals are presumptively available.” Brief for Respondents 34. It is true that people sometimes congregate in “sensitive places,” and it is likewise true that law enforcement professionals are usually presumptively available in those locations. But expanding the category of “sensitive places” simply to all places of public congregation that are not isolated from law enforcement defines the category of “sensitive places” far too broadly. Respondents’ argument would in effect exempt cities from the Second Amendment and would eviscerate the general right to publicly carry arms for self-defense that we discuss in detail below. See Part III–B, infra. Put simply, there is no historical basis for New York to effectively declare the island of Manhattan a “sensitive place” simply because it is crowded and protected generally by the New York City Police Department.”
Hochul has illegally declared that all private businesses are sensitive places unless the business owner publicly states otherwise — regardless of the number of occupants or availability of police protection — which is the very argument that the Court rejected.
