Even though New York's discretionary "may issue" laws were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2022's Bruen decision, some licensing authorities in the state are still using some awfully subjective criteria to determine whether or not an applicant will receive a concealed carry permit.
In Nassau County, for instance, applicants must submit a list of all former and current social media accounts used within the past 3 years, so police can pore over the content for evidence of "good moral character", along with a notarized statement attesting to any minors that live full or part-time with the applicant as well as the name and contact information of your "current spouse or domestic partner and any other adults residing with you, including adult children."
Along with the paperwork, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder also requires every applicant to submit to a urinalysis test to prove they're drug-free, even though that isn't required under New York law. Nassau County resident Joseph Kamenshchik sued to challenge some of these provisions in January of last year, and this week New York Supreme Court Justice James P. McCormack granted Kamenshchik at least partial relief by granting an injunction against several aspect of the county's licensing scheme.
"“Forcing an applicant to submit to urinalysis, in essence, requires them to give up their Fourth Amendment rights against unlawful searches and seizures to exercise their Second Amendment rights,” State Supreme Court Justice James McCormack wrote in his decision."

It’s New York. Commies got to commie.
Alice’s Restaurant movie (1969) getting urine samples at the Army Induction Center physical:

“Anybody got some to spare?”
SCOTUS needs to start slapping these jurisdictions down hard, including the State Legislatures and Governors who try it. They did it with voting rights. They can do it with 2nd Amendment rights.

Why are people and businesses still in NY. They get what they deserve for staying. May they rot in hell.
They need to start fining them multi-million dollars for every day they infringe on rights.
How about pee tests to run for elected office?
Or work as a government employee?
What, no?
Looks like Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder is SOL.
Too bad, just about anyplace would benefit by dumping half of the local government employees and ALL of the LEOs that dream up this BS.

“They need to start fining them multi-million dollars for every day they infringe on rights.”
Who would fine them?
If we aren’t going to piss politicians, “judges” and “da media”, we have no business pissin’ Concealed Carry Applicants.
Exactly, anyone foolish enough to do business in New York needs to get out before it’s too late.
This is just downright disgraceful.
If only NY put convicted criminals through this same goat rope there would probably be little crime.
Urine tests are mandatory for many government jobs. Have been for more than 30 years.

Who would fine them?"
And, where would the money go?
